"404 - Article not found" for new articles

Post by tehribo » Mon Jan 16, 2017 11:08 am

Today I had to add new article, but when I save it and tried to open "404 - Article not found" error appeared.
No matter in which category or menu I move the article - the result is 404.

When I stop the "Search Engine Friendly URLs" option in the Site Settings the article loads normally.

All older articles opens normally.
My last successfully added article was added on 06.01.2017.

My site is in Bulgarian language.

Thank you in advance for your help!

1 year ago I made a change in administrator\components\com_content\config.xml, which enables "Sef Advanced Mode"

It is described here and removes the numbers from the URLs:

https://joomlaseo.com/blog/how-to-remov ... omla-url-s

Now I checked the config.xml file and these option wasn't there.
Then I added it again and disabled it, so the articles IDs were there again

The articles appeared, but I do not want this article IDs to be in my URL.

At least it will kill my SEO

The problem is that you have another trashed article with the same alias. Delete that article and you should be OK.

Thank you itoctopus, but this is not the problem. Trash is empty. I have created maybe 10 different articles trying to solve the problem .... in different categories, formating and etc....nothing



Update: If I create an menu item for the article I can open it from everywhere.
But as soon as I remove the menu item - the 404 error comes back.
I do not want to create a menu item for each article ... :(

Today the strange saga continues...

If I add a dash " - " in the article Alias the problem is solved and the article can be opened

Thank you in advance for your support!

Hello, I'm new here....

I have the exact same problem as described above.
The only difference is that the "-" add does not work.

My Joomla version is 3.8.6.

Anyone a suggestion?

Regards, René
