QA 2025-04-17 15:55 administrator ~0017916	acknowledged and added one more item to steps to reproduce. Fixed with the theme Apex, since the breadcrump isn't clickable anymore. -MK

williamclark 2025-05-17 08:58 reporter ~0017958	The scenario you are explaining occurs when blSeoActive is true (in the config.inc.php). VisualCMS generates new SEO URLs each time the preview button is clicked. This happens due to how url are generated in the preview mode you are executing that appends -o or -oxid to each new expanded URL. To fix the problem, you may consider reviewing the URL generation in the Content Management System (CMS) and ensure a new URL is not generated for every previewed content. Be sure to suss out any conditions that would trigger a new URL creation, especially in regard to the SEO settings and update the programming code.

Galanx 2025-08-04 10:44 reporter ~0018135	Do we have a date as to when this will be fixed or if this will be fixed at all in Oxid 6.5?

SvenBrunk 2025-08-06 10:21 administrator ~0018143	@Galanx this is already fixed in 7.3 with Apex Theme. Our testing so far indicates that it is really only related to the breadcrumb and that was removed in Apex. We are currently looking for other places that might cause this. Also there are plans to add a SEO URL cleanup to our Consistency Checker (probably released with 7.4) that will be able to clean up the generated URLs again.
