Issue with menu item urls after joomla 3.9 update was created by web-tiki

Hello,
I have an issue with several sites using K2 after and update to latest joomla 3.9. They use K2 2.9.
The url sturcture of the webistes is :
Home mysite.com

article 1
```
mysite.com/article1
```
article 2
```
mysite.com/article2
```
article 3
```
mysite.com/article3
```
...

There is one menu link for each article. The issue is : when I am on article 1 with the url

mysite.com/article1

and click on the link to article 2, it goes to

mysite.com/article1/article2

that doesn't exist. It should lead

mysite.com/article2

Is there something obvious I missed?

There's an option in the menus to rebuild them. Try that. Make sure you are also NOT seeing cache. So clear it as well. In any case, menus are not a part of K2, so if something is broken there, it's probably Joomla. If you migrated from a much older release, this could be the reason.

Sorry for my late reply.
I have tried rebuilding the menus and made sure again I am not seeing the cached versions but the issue is still occuring.
I have solved it on some sites with "hardcoded" menu item links but on other I can't use this technique as there are too many pages.
I am still looking for a solution. This only happens on sites with K2 and only on K2 article pages.

Looking at your issue again, it looks like a broken menu override perhaps. This would explain why the 2nd URL is appended to the /article1 URL. If you can share a URL, I can verify this for you.

(and sorry for my late reply...)

Hello,
There were no menu overrides in the following example. I added one to hack a temporary solution with this code in

html/mod_menu/default_component.php

// Display normal menu in data attribute for debugging purposes :
$attributes['data-default-link'] = $item->flink;
// delete part of url and change url
$currentUrl = JURI::root(true);
if (strpos($currentUrl, 'item') !== false) {
	$newLink = str_replace($currentUrl, "", $item->flink);
	$item->flink = $newLink;
}

Here is a link to a page that shows the issue :
www.centre-imhotep.com/le-blog/actualites/item/144-stage-d-ete-imhotep-2019-vacances-studieuses-entre-monts-ardechois-acupuncture-et-piscine
In the menu, you will see the data attribute

data-default-link

on the menu links. It show the url before my hack. The href displays the link after my hack.

This is extremely weird. And you're not using a custom SEF extension or anything? Did you try re-installing Joomla latest?

No, I don't use any SEF plugins on any of the sites with the issue.
What do you mean by reinstalling joomla latest?

If your site was gradually updated from Joomla 1.5 or 2.5 to 3.x, perhaps some menu items are broken. This has happened before. If hitting the "Rebuild" button in the menu manager does not resolve things, try re-creating a couple of menus (and unpublish the old ones) to check if the issue still occurs.

Also try creating a new menu overall and add a couple new menu items in it. This could work.
