K2 "Item" URL's was created by Shanna Jones
I am trying to understand why certain K2 url's are not navigating correctly:

Works: urbanswank.com/the-buzz/item/1512-rodeo-goat-ice-house-to-open-in-eado
Does Not Work: urbanswank.com/item/1512-rodeo-goat-ice-house-to-open-in-eado

Because the second link goes to my home page, it is creating high priority SEO issues due to duplicate titles. Ultimately, I need to determine how I can point the second URL to the correct article versus having it display my home page. It is doing this for every article and I have over a thousand. The better option would be to get rid of the second link altogether so I don't have duplicates.

1. I have menu items created for each of my K2 categories
2. I have Joomla SEF turned on, but I am not using any other plugin (I did purchase SH404SEF and the K2 plugin today if that would help)
3. I am using SEO Simple plugin but that only configures my meta description and title tags for some pages. It does not route or rewrite.

The second link is the equivalent of hacking Joomla!'s ULR (index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=ITEM_ID), by installing SH404SEF and the K2 plugin you will able to enforce the pattern that suits your needs.
