Hi there,

I think you can create a general .htaccess rule that goes from WizardKing.com/vendor-list/MyCompany to WizardKing.com/MyCompany.

But the problem with a general rule for the home page is: It would apply to all pages, not just vendor pages. So if you go to WizardKing.com/contact-us it would not work, because it would actually give you WizardKing.com/vendor-list/contact-us and you would see an error like 'This store does not exist'.

So I think you can't do a general rule. You can do a specific rule for 'MyCompany', but like this you would need to modify htaccess every time you have a new vendor on your site.

Maybe the best solution is if we add a feature to MarketKing that allows you to manually assign a URL for each vendor?

PS: 

Of course, if you want, you can edit the vendor-list page and change its slug to a shorter one like 'Shops' or something, so you will have WizardKing.com/shops/mycompany

Kind regards,

Stefan

Thanks for the feedback, this seems like a great idea! I've added it to the improvements list for future updates,

If you have other ideas or feedback on improving the plugin, let me know - we're looking to make a lot of improvements and add new features.

Have a nice weekend,

Hi guys,

I have an update for this, with some new options.

First of all, to use this, please update to the attached version. To update, first deactivate and delete your existing version of MarketKing Core, and then upload and activate the attached one.

1) To allow dashes in the name, you can add this PHP code snippet to your site:

add_filter('marketking_allow_dash_store_url',function($val){
    return 1;
}, 10, 1);

2) I have added the following checkbox on the vendor user profile page:

When this checkbox enabled, the vendor's store URL is added directly to the site url (e.g. yoursite.com/vendorstore)

Seems to be working well so far in my tests, but please let me know if you have any issues with it,

Kind regards,

Stefan
