Hello? I really can't figure this out. I've tried to clear the cache, and same thing. I would have to manually change the SEF URL's for each incorrect category, which is well over 100 of them!

I shouldn't have to do this. It was working fine, prior to the upgrade. What am did I miss? I also tried to redirect using the old SEF URL to the new one, but that doesn't work either. Google Analytics is reporting over 300+ links as 404's.

This is not good.

Anyone? My site is live, and I need to get this fixed ASAP for SEO purposes.

Thanks.

Just upgraded to the latest JoomSEF with VirtueMart Extension. My main product categories links are incorrect. They show a product category which does not belong to that product.

www.mysite.com/rent/rental-packages/pro-lighting-rentals
www.mysite.com/rent/rental-packages/projection-rentals

The correct URL's should be as follows (it was correct before the JoomSEF/Extension upgrade):

www.mysite.com/rent/pro-lighting-rentals
www.mysite.com/rent/projection-rentals

"rental-packages" category is NOT a parent category to any of these categories, but it shows as if it is.

This is happening to ALL the category links on our site. It is adding "rental-packages' to each URL. I've managed to change some URL's manually and removed the incorrect category, but there are over 100 URL's generated with this incorrect category listed.

I've tried purging SEF URL's, clearing cache, and update URL options.

I also found some other posts from other users with similar problems. Instructions to correct were to go to VM Extension, then Common Tab, then change: Show Menu Title = NO <---- this is already set to NO in my extension. Don't know where else to look/fix.

Thank you.

I have a similar problem...

I installed JoomSEF VM extension. I had an older version of JoomSEF running, and had to pay for the upgrade, since my upgrade period expired. Everything was working fine with previous install, and I had all the URL's just the way I wanted them. After the upgrade, I cleared the cache and SEF URL's. When the new URL's were created, it was showing an incorrect VirtueMart category in the link:

mysite.com/widget-category/widget-item <---- correct

But after the upgrade, the URL's were changed as follows:

mysite.com/incorrect-category/widget-category/widget-item

The problem is that this incorrect-category is showing up on ALL of the URL's for Virtuemart products, categories, etc.

So no matter the category, it shows the incorrect-category in the URL, and has caused numerous 404 errors to be generated because the old links - although linked to the correct item - did not work due to these changes made by upgrade.

I doubled checked VM extension, and I've even done some testing, removing the Category option from my URL's, but it's still generated in the URL. I've cleared the cache and SEF URL's mutliple times, and the same URL's are re-created.

Not sure what to do here anymore.

You can check the site here. Take a look at the store menu on the left. You will see RENTAL PACKAGES in each URL, which is incorrect. I managed to fix a few manually for testing, but there are over 100 URL's, which have this incorrect-category inserted in it's URL.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to bulk change SEF URL's? Then I could just do a text replace.

Thanks.
