Hello,
I had used a RT template for a client with Gantry framework, the client wanted to go with another template, I installed the new template and made it default. I then uninstalled the RT template, and Gantry. When I try and turn on the SEF Urls in either Joomla or SHF404 and the new template does not render properly, only on the home page. Is there something else I need to do to uninstall Gantry? I read and followed the directions for uninstall, and nothing works. I currently have it showing properly, I will be glad to send the details in a PM so someone can take a look.
Thanks for any help you can give me, I really do not want to uninstall Joomla and redesign this whole site.
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Uninstalling a template of Gantry should have no effect on your site.
Make sure SEF is configured properly.
Basic Core SEF:
If joomla is in the root; htdocs, or public_html...
In Global Configurations, Search Engine Friendly URLs Yes, Use Apache mod_rewrite Yes, Add suffix to URLs No.
Change htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
If it’s in a folder, you need to change the # RewriteBase / to reflect the path of your site.
Change:
# RewriteBase /
to:
RewriteBase /(the name of the folder joomla is in)
If that doesn't work, search or post here:
forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=544
If you are using a 3rd part component, contact the developer. - Thanks,
jim

I'm not trying to uninstall, but I am having this exact problem.
I have applied the above fixes and I have posted at that forum. The fixes didn't fix and no one at that forum has replied yet. I'm going nuts with this.
As soon as I turn on Search Engine Friendly URLs, the sub-templates no longer get applied to the content.
Can I at least get another hint on where I can go look for a solution?

Sorry about that.
Turns out, this was not a Gantry issue at all, but a Joomla bug. I found the solution to my problem at the Joomla Forum at this link:
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=619&t=664605
Inside root/includes/application.php
search for this line: public function getTemplate($params = false)
Inside that function add a single line of code:
// Get the id of the active menu item
$menu = $this->getMenu();
$item = $menu->getActive();
if (!$item) {
//added here here the new line by Raluca Manea
$this->route();
//END CODE CHANGED added here here the new line by Raluca Manea
$item = $menu->getItem(JRequest::getInt('Itemid'));
}
This is the line added:
$this->route();
This worked for me using the standard SEF urls.
