Installed the k2 update on my Joomla 3.5.1 multilanguage Website. Half of the english main menue disappeared as a result,
5 categories including the k2 blog.
Restored the site and made a second try on a lokal Joomla Installation - same effect.

When entering a missing article via the german site I see the URL issue
http://localhost/Joomlalokal/en/11-garden/89-how-do-we-plan-your-feng-shui-garden

The override I´m using is the following

if ( $this->item->link != JRequest::getURI() ) {
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$app->redirect($this->item->link,'','');
}

Looking forward to some helpful advise.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

K2 will not hide/ alter your menu items.
Make sure that these menu items belong to the correct language.

As for the code, I assume this is for a 301 redirect.
I would not use it if I were you. I would opt-in for a canonical link URL.

Hi Krikor,

the override is not for 301 redirect but to solve duplicate pages and it works well.


Concerning the K2 update I´ve experienced the same trouble.
with three different installations, first on my live site and twice with local Joomla installations.

Half of the Joomla categorys in the English Menue including the K2 Blog disappear in front- and backend

The live Website is restored and K2 not updated. You can check easily that all items belong to the correct language.

Hope to get some help solving the problem.
Claiming that it doesn´t happen does not help.

Thanks in advance

Claiming that it doesn´t happen does not help.

I am not claiming anything. It will not happen in any of the numerous K2 sites were are managing.

Have you tried to clear both Joomla!'s and your browser's cache?
Repairing your db's tables might also help.

Hi Krikor,

cleaned the chaches before posting.
The database is allright but following your advise I tried to repair several times, no changes.

I believe the issue has to do with the multilanguage status of the website.
But not with missing language definitions.
The menue entries and articles that are missing are all from the second language (English)

The K2 update causes changes in language flaggs and shortcuts.
Flaggs turn black, some shortcuts (the connection between German and English items) are transparent,
even though they are still working.

When editing one entry of a menue, the flaggs of all entries turn black.

After a while they turn back to colours.
Some stay black. It changes which items are black.

Hope these details help to find a solution.
Would really like to have K2 running in the latest version
like everything else on my website.

Thanks, Silke

Silke,

K2 will not alter the menu's language nor the images.
However you can check the specific items which are mapped in these menu items for any changes.

The menue entries and articles that are missing are all from the second language (English)

It will not remove any entries from other components (com_menu) as well.

Finally:
Are you talking about menu item associations or item associations via a 3rd party extension?
