Yes - you need to change the .htaccess rewrite rules.

Hi, I never respond to pgmarshall and niallb (thanks for all), besause I never start the progress, after some month I activate the SEO URLs, but the result not is exactly that I think.
I use the Standard configuration of .htacces:
# BOF: MOD - Ultimate SEO URLs
## SEO Url's .htaccess file
## If you want to use the Apache Mod-Rewrite method for SEO URL's
## NOTE: This requires that you are on an apache web server with mod_rewrite enabled.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On

# Change "catalog" to your catalog directory name:
#RewriteBase /catalog/
## If installed to the base home/root directory, uncomment the below code only:
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-m-([0-9]+).html$ index.php?manufacturers_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pi-([0-9]+).html$ popup_image.php?pID=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-t-([0-9]+).html$ articles.php?tPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-a-([0-9]+).html$ article_info.php?articles_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pr-([0-9]+).html$ product_reviews.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-pri-([0-9]+).html$ product_reviews_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_ST RING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-i-([0-9]+).html$ information.php?info_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
</ifModule>
# EOF: MOD - Ultimate SEO URLs

The result when I click in a product is: www.mywebsite/consolas-c-3.html

is posible change it to: www.mywebsite/consolas.html?, that I need change in the .htacces?

I want the seo don´t show the "-c-3" in the navigation bar, ¿is possible it?, this is for categories, and the same for products?

Thanks for all.

Just turn it off in the setting in admin - 2nd and 3rd option tom false.

[celeroncillo]

Hi, thanks pgmarshall, I se to false this options and reset the cache, but the result is the same:

Add cPath to product URLs? false
Add category parent to beginning of URLs? false

Is this option correct?.

Any idea?.

Thanks

Just to add to this..
The prefix letters are there for a reason - to differentiate types of pages; products, manufacturers, articles etc. (I thought that was obvious just by looking at the rewrite lines). Perhaps you have a category called Premium Products and an article/information page written about them called the same (unsurprisingly), then the SEO URL would be the same, if it were not for the prefix.
Lateral thinking?
