Question

I searched for this kind of issue and saw many others experiencing this thing like me. I tried those fixes that they recommend but it's not working on my end.

Maybe you guys can suggest what is the best thing or any recommendations how to fix this one.

Any ideas on the best solution to fix this bug?

Answer 1

Truncating your url_rewrite table & run re-indexing.

It will create all url-key's automatically.

=> Note : Take backup of that table before truncate it.

For regenerate url :

Download this module and copy the Iazel directory into app/code/

Then you can regenerate SEO Friendly URL's for catalog/products via Console

# Regenerate url for all products and the global store
php bin/magento iazel:regenurl

# Regenerate url for products with id (1, 2, 3, 4) for store 1
php bin/magento iazel:regenurl -s1 1 2 3 4

Answer 2

That's known issue in Magento2.1.x

this issue is solved now magento2.2

you can check here for more detail

https://github.com/magento/magento2/issues/7298

for quick hack you can do following

Create a prefrence of this class vendor/magento/module-url-rewrite/Model/Storage/DbStorage.php

and rewrite doReplace() this method

protected function doReplace($urls)
{
    foreach ($this->createFilterDataBasedOnUrls($urls) as $type => $urlData) {
    $urlData[UrlRewrite::ENTITY_TYPE] = $type;
    $this->deleteByData($urlData);
    }
    $data = [];
    foreach ($urls as $url) {
    $data[] = $url->toArray();
    }

     /* Add this line : Get rid of rewrite for root Magento category to unduplicate things*/
    foreach($data as $key =>$info){
        if(isset($info['target_path']) && stristr($info['target_path'],'/category/1') && $info['entity_type']=='product'){
                unset($data[$key]);
        }
    }

    $this->insertMultiple($data);
}
