Thank you for taking the time to answer my post Kr3ck3n.
I do have "Disable creation of new SEF URLs?" set to yes, and I do not see any duplicate urls created in my "Manage SEF Url's section.

I found this post here: www.artio.net/support-forums/joomsef-pay...ers/remove-blog#9708

That post is only 4 days old, so I guess I will have to wait for next version.
Thanks again for trying to help me.

Hello, this is my first post. I have a menu links to my categories (Blog Layout)

The urls generated appear as

I would like to prevent "blog" from appearing in the urls. I am trying to change the urls generated to appear as

I know I can create a custom urls, but I have many categories and I would like to have the urls written this way automatically. I have tried to configure the content extension parameters in components/Artio JoomSEF/Manage Extensions/Content but I am unable to figure this out.

Is there someone who would be kind enough to take the time to explain how to do this please?
