Hello,

I have a problem with rewriting my urls into sef urls.

I have set everything up correctly because my site goes to the urls correctly. But here is my problem.

When my site is live, the page I land on is perfect, however, when I move to another page the url changes but I'm still on the same page.

I have used Joomla SEF and sh404sef and they both have giving me the same results.

Is this a template error or am I doing something wrong.

My htaccess.txt is .htaccess

My joomla is in a sub directory.

Code: Select all
# @version $Id: htaccess.txt 10492 2008-07-02 06:38:28Z ircmaxell $

How are you accessing these urls or other pages?
If you are clicking on links in modules then I am guessing your menu setup is incorrect.

Joomla needs a menu item id of at least one main category to display child categories or any other items in these categories or child categories.

Please check this and let us know so I can explain or advise further.

See you around...

Thank for getting back to me normanUK

Sorry I forgot to add my website address www.oddcreations.co.uk

The links I'm trying to access are my nav links.

All the links work when I'm offline but when my site is live they stop working.

When I select the menu link, the page stays the same but the url changes to the desired destination.

I have tried nearly everything I can and researched the hell out of the topic.

Did you check if your server supports / enabled mod_rewrite module.
Check if you have enabled sef settings in joomla configurations. such as renaming .htaccess file and setting.

Otherwise send me your admin access to my email and I ll take a look. normanuk[at]live.co.uk

Please include this topic link in your email.

See you around...
