404 category not found! Topic is solved

[jotabe309]

Hi,

Right now I'm building (on my PC with XAMPP) a new web site for a Spanish author of romantic novels, and everything is going well.
Then I've built a new category (blog) with the correspondent menu and some articles, and I received the message above: 404 "categoria no encontrada".

Other categories, all built in the same way, menus and articles are running quite well.

Some idea why this is happening?

Thanks in advance for any kind of assistance.

Have you tried to turn off SEF URL in Global Configuration?

Yes, I did it, but no changes!

Possibly obvious questions from me.... but is the category published, is it assigned the relevant permission etc and are the articles that category is assigned to published, along with the relevant menu items?

You say built the same as the others but clearly something is different here. The 404 error pages list the possible causes - have you worked through those suggestions?

Check all again, then clear Joomla cache, clear browser cache, try a different browser or device.

Okay, now it's all right, everything checked, problem solved.

Thank you very much.
