Hi all -

I can't stop K2 showing the category ID in the url such as : www.mysite.com/blog/2-categoryname/

I'm running 2.6.9 and have changed the parameters as follows:

Enable advanced SEF for K2 URLs: yes
Use the category ID in the URL: no
Use the category title alias: yes

I've checked and no number is in the alias itself, and I've created new categories to check and it does it still.
Have also cleared browser case, disabled joomla cache and disabled system cache plugin.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hello Dylan,

Does this category belong to a menu item?

Thanks for the reply; no and I've also tried it with other category names too with the same problem.

Thank you for your feedback Dylan,
We will look into it.

It has been fixed in the DEV version.
You can get it from:

The patch that fixes it is located here: getk2.org/assets/get/
github.com/joomlaworks/k2/commit/4371e2e8571e9c0d94ee23723da5084f6ecf9435

PS. You are highly advised to backup first.

Thanks for this, all solved! :)

You 're welcome Dylan :)

Hello:

I have the same problem, but that file doesn't worked for me.

I'm using 2.6.9 K2 Component and i have the same settings than the first person who opened the topic.

But my URL SEF is always: www.domain.com/blog/CATID-category/my-post

If i set the value "show ID category" to NO/YES, the CATID is always printed on the URL.

I can show/hide the ID article, but ID Category is always before the category name.

I don't know what is happening.

Best regards.

Hello:

Thanks Krikor, but that solution is not valid for my website. I've downloaded that new fixed file router.php and "replace" my actual file and the website is always insert the ID category:

You can see the example in this screenshot (.........../4-gnu-linux/ ... instead ........./gnu-linux/... )

I'm using 2.6.9 K2 and i'have NO the "show ID category on URL" and "show ID item on URL", but only for ITEM element works.

Thanks and best regards from spain
