All the links of the joomla articles that are placed in subcategories which are displayed in News Show Pro GK4 modules on my frontpage do not link to the article, you stay on the frontpage, altough the url is changed. Problem seems to be that it doesn't include the main category, because when this is typed in the url it works. One module that includes links in a main categorie doesn't have the problem.

How to solve this? Thanks!

Edit, now I saw that it is only with one category, and the problem is that the module ads the ID number of the subcategorie in front of the main categorie, so it doesn't load.

This is a common issue and it is related with joomla menu setup.

Categories you are linking to should have a menu item. See following example.

If you have K2 or joomla categories setup as below.

News
------- Sport News
------- World News
------- IT News

So in above example if you just link News Category to a menu item then rest of the subcategories will work.

However if you have following example;

News
Sport News
World News
IT News

Then in above case you need to create a menu item for each category for links to work properly.

Please note these menu items don't have to be visible in main menu, you can just create a new menu itself and create these menu items inside this menu.

See you around...
