I am having this 404 error when adding an K2 "item" to a menu item. Everything works fine when I set the menu item to anything else ~

update:

On another installation of joomla! I can add a k2 item to a menu and it will appear fine. When I take the same steps on the other installation of joomla I get the 404 blank page error.

so, could it be that this is happening because this particular installation of joomla is from a backup? I used Akeeba backup then used kickstart to unpack and install this joomla site. could it be a reason why this is happening?

thank you for any consideration.

sincerely,

Is the server settings the same on both the server, eg PHP version?

Yes all setting must be the same on both sites. They are installed on the same public_html area.

I will be happy to give you any information, but I did everything in order to post an item but there is a 404 blank page error.

Also, how can I get email notifications of posts in this forum? I didn't get an email but I just wanted to check for any replies today and I saw your reply.

Thank you,

Hi Dominick,

Can you set the Error Reporting in Joomla to Maximum.

Site -> Global Configuration -> Server -> Error Reporting

And try doing it again, and see the error message.

which version of Joomla and K2 are you using ?

Hello Kannan,

Thank you for your reply.

I am using Joomla! 1.7.3 and the latest version of K2 ~ 2.5.3

Also, very oddly, the K2 items that I put on the menu two days ago are now appearing.

But I made a fresh item this morning and I am getting the 404 error. I put the error reporting to "maximum" as you said and the menu item appears but when I click on it I get the 404 error along with a little box at the bottom that says:

"item not found"

could it be the server is slow. My hosting company is Arvixe ~

thank you for your consideration,

Still getting 404 page when adding item to menu. I just want to make sure I am doing this right.

How to publish an item in K2:

• I create a user group
• Create a user
• create a category
• Finally, create an item

• Then go to menu ~ add menu item
• Click select
• Click item under the K2 section

make sure the menu item is published and public~ make sure K2 item is published and public

• Then make a module~
• New module
• click menu
• assign that module to the menu where K2 item is

The menu item appears in the menu ~ but I get a 404 error in place of the K2 item

"item not found"

I asked my hosting company about this and I have gotten no response

Just want to make follow-up:

• I made a new folder in cPanel


• I used kickstart to unpack and install a backup of joomla site


• I installed K2 on new site


• In K2: made new user group, new user (imported users), made new category, made new item.


• Added new item to menu


• menu item appeared but when click on menu item the 404 error appears.

I think it is because of the backup from Akeeba because I followed the same process to publish a new K2 item on my other joomla installations and it works fine.

Thank you,

-D

You might want to check out this troubleshooter guide from akeeba

I don't think it's Akeeba I don't even have that installed and I am having the same problem on 2 sites

Item added from the backend are showing up fine but I can not edit them. The edit link shows up but it will not save edits and the tabs are there , image tab, gallery tab and so on but the contents of the tabs are creating a scroll bar in the modal window and go down. I have other working sites with exact same setup that are not having these issues.

Hello Mary,

You should check the permissions of the User Groups.
This sounds however like a .js conflict from your template. You should open your browser's developer tools (console tab) and see the actual issue.
