404 error on creating new menu Items (Joomla 2.54) was created by Gary Bartlett
Hi,
When I create a new K2 item (put against an imported category or a newly created category) and create a menu item for it, the menu item appears, but when I click on the menu item, I get a 404 error.
The same doesn't happen with new Article Manager topics.
I've created new K2 menu items using new K2 topics created in new K2 categories after uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of K2 - same result.
I'd be grateful for any advice on where to go from here.
Thanks very much.
Gary

Has anyone out there got K2 working under Joomla 2.54 at HostGator? If so, care to share what steps you went through, if different from mine, above?
Thanks very much.
Gary

For those of you who have the same problem, William is going to have a look at my site when he can fit it in (I've given him a root login) and I'll post a solution here as soon as we have one.

I couldn't sort this out, so did a fresh, minimalistic install (also on Hostgator) and it worked flawlessly (but not on a virtual domains) - so it's either an anomaly, user-error or related to one or more components that I haven't installed - or installed have installed in a different order.
The bottom line is that the steps taken in my original post work for Hostgator:

- Install Joomla.
- Rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess
- Uncomment #RewriteBase \ to RewriteBase \
- Enable SEF in Joomla (Global Configuration|>Site>SEF|URL|Re-write|Suffix in 2.54)
