FAQ

What's the difference between url_key and url_path?

url_key contains the key, like joust-duffle-bag for the product "Joust Duffle Bag". The url_path is generated by taking the url_key and adding the suffix (which for products is stored in catalog/seo/product_url_suffix and defaults to .html). So the url_path would by default become joust-duffle-bag.html. It also adds the category slugs of the parent categories so the url_path might become bags/joust-duffle-bag.html. However, the use of url_path has been deprecated since early Magento 2.1 versions (see here). If you are running on a recent Magento 2 version, you can safely delete those values by running DELETE FROM catalog_product_entity_varchar WHERE attribute_id = (SELECT attribute_id FROM eav_attribute WHERE attribute_code = 'url_path' AND entity_type_id = (SELECT entity_type_id FROM eav_entity_type WHERE entity_type_code = 'catalog_product')).

URL paths are still used in categories though, so don't remove those.

Why am I getting a 'Duplicated url' warning when running the command?

If you see this error, you have duplicate url_key values (within a store) in catalog_product_entity_varchar. You can use this extension to check those (and you need to fix them manually): baldwin/magento2-module-url-data-integrity-checker.
