Hi - Please note your post has been moved to the 'General Questions' category.

Have you tried enabling SEO settings in Joomla!, or using a SEO/SEF extension?

Hi.. Yes I enable SEF from global configuration...

and short url but when I opened read more articles I have a problem 404-errors...
after enable when I add article have the same problem 404-error

Hi

when you enabled the SEO settings, did you rename the htaccess.txt ot .htaccess ?

@ ayndegroup In Global Configuration, on the Site tab, did you set the top two items under "SEO Settings" to 'Yes'? If not, please do so. Also, as orion_ mentioned, you must rename the htaccess.txt file if you are on a Linux server.

Hi... yes I rename
but I dont know How can rename please see two ways below :

htaccess.txt renmae to .htaccess.txt

or :

htaccess.txt rebmae to .htaccess


when I rename it remove extension .txt like .htaccess or not?

You rename the one called

htaccess.txt
to
.htaccess

just like this

wow I am very happy ..... after solving this big problem.

Thanks a lot for ever orion_
