    Why do the search friendly urls mess my pages up?

    Posted 14 years 5 months ago
    • I want to put search friendly urls on for 2 reasons. One, RokComments says that it will only really work if it is turned on. Two, i just think it is better to have them. The only problem is that since i am done with my site already, turning it on now only messes up the pages and template. How do i turn it on without messing up some of the links?

    • Not sure what 'messing up the pages' means...

      Make sure it 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.

    • hi there,

      you can use your cpanel file manager or your ftp program to access the file.
