I'm looking to change the url from livinginphuket.info/k2/test/test    (The word K2 in the url) to something else! How do it do that? Not that I don't wanna let others know I'm using k2! But it's for professional looking and security reason..Any advise?Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Are you using any SEF such as Joomla core or sh404SEF.
Are you using mod_rewrite?

OK, I see the confusion.
mod_rewrite is not a module.
If you go to your admin panel, global configuration, site tab:


The image will show the Apache mod_rewrite enable/disable option. I guess as you do not know, you may well not be using it.

Yeah... It's enabled! I spent hours trying to find the way to cut the K2 that shows in my urls but no luck.... Cry cry

OK, this all comes down to your .htaccess file found in the root of your server.
For me, this is a black art and have struggled in the past.

If you send me your email address by private message, i will send you a .htaccess file which I use on K2Joom.com, it does not display the K2 part in the Url.

Hi Simon,

can you send that htaccess to me too :)

With Joomla SEO on I have a 404 problem at www.webfarus.com/kakuxi

I have htaccess.txt (out of the joomla box) renamed to .htaccess

Can you help me with this?

Thank you.

I would also be grateful if you could send me .htacces to remove k2 from url
