Help with menu items after URL Rewriting to removing index.php

Post by jcrimmel » Thu Jun 02, 2022 6:04 pm

Using joomla 3.10

I am able to use "Search Engine Friendly URLs" and "Use URL Rewriting" to successfully remove the "index.php" from my site. My .htaccess file is in place. All of my menu items will point to what should be the correct URL (without the index.php), but all of those menu items return a 404 error with the exception of the main homepage.

The site is live so, sorry, I can't leave it like that for an example, but I am sure this is something simple that someone here might know off the top of their head????

Thanks.

SOLVED.

JCH Optimized had written some conflicting rules into the .htaccess file that was breaking with the RewriteRule turned on. Disabled JCH Optimized and removed all of its additions to the .htacess file and all is good.
