How do you turn off the 'Collect URLs' option?

Post by ezio2000 » Thu Feb 06, 2025 11:10 pm

If I click the native System- Redirects link a message says that 'Collect URLs' are enabled but... how to disable??

If I take a look in the web I find OLD answers like this:

Extensions - Plugins - System Redirect - Collect URLs (Enabled / Disabled)
but may be in Joomla 5 something is changed... I cant find the path.

If I go directly in the Redirect options I can see only these (eg 'Activate Advanced Mode'), but I can't see any effect.

I have 28626 disabled links !!!!!!!!!!!!

It hasn't changed all that much in Joomla 5. You'll find what you're looking for under System > Manage > Plugins and then disable the System - Redirect plugin

Under System > Manage > Redirects, click the button labelled "Purge Disabled".

You will need to purge the disabled links before you disable the Redirect plugin.

Ty for the answer, mate... but I don't want to disable the plugin, that works well and I use it!!

I ONLY want to disable the feature: 'Collect URLs', that if it is enabled... means that it can also be disabled. OR NOT??

Yes, of course. The 'problem' is that since the 'Collect URLs' feature is enabled, every times I access the plugin I find billions of new disabled links!! Nonsense.

You can turn it off in the plugin, if you cant you have other problems.

As @gws suggested, here are the instructions: go to System > Manage > Plugins, open the System - Redirect plugin, disable the option labelled "Collect URLs", then save your changes.

Following your suggested path.. I CAN'T FIND THE REDIRECT PLUGIN so I can't open it from your path!

The only way to reach the plugin is System > Manage > Redirections, but if in the Redirections page I click the "Options" button I DON'T SEE THE OPTION LABELLED "Collect URLs", so I can't disable it.

Can you please attach a screenshot displaying the option labelled "Collect URLs" in your plugin options?? Ty !
