SEF Index PHP

Post by bluesardine » Thu Aug 18, 2022 7:23 pm

Hi Guys

When my sites were Joomla 3 I did not have an issue, but after migrating to Joomla 4 I'm having issue with SEF rewriting.

I have SEF turned ON
URL rewriting ON
Rewritten to .htaccess

But my site still can show either https://www.peterhaken.com/ and https://www.peterhaken.com/index.php

Playing havoc with the SEO website i use SEOBILITY, but other sites that were built in Joomla 4 are ok only sites that i migrate from 3 to 4.

Just comes up with duplicate titles, duplicate meta description and the two Pages competing for the same keywords!!!

Wondering if an old php file from previous joomla versions left around from 2, 2.5,3 to 4

Any ideas how to solve this please ?

I have the same issue!

I can access every page on my website both ways, with and without the index.php in the URL.

I thought this would be prevented using Joomla 4

I have SEF turned ON, URL rewriting turned ON and htaccess renamed.

This happens on all my J4 sites, those built from scratch and those migrated from J3.

Can anyone help?
