:( So the only way to remove or not show the two words "/component/k2/" in any joomla 3 site using k2 is to create a menu item to each page? :angry: That's an insanely terrible option, is that THE ONLY method of removing /component/k2/ from

I'm even willing to install a 3rd party SEF component (like sh404SEF) to have the ability to create my own clean URL's but before purchasing and installing would like to clarify.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Yes, I'm afraid that is the only way. Each category need to have its own menu item to avoid this url.

The K2 category menu may be a hidden menu (add a new menu with items K2 categories and the menu module is not assigned). B)

That is right Alex. Of course, there is no need for all your menus to be visible, just to exist. ;)
