Forum Archive - Problems with JoomSEF after upgrade of Gtranslate

Hi Edvard, As you know, I just updated to the latest version of Gtranslate. Now I am having problems with my JoomSEF plugin. A bunch of the SEF friendly urls on my site are not working anymore, and when JoomSEF creates a new SEF url, it does not collect the correct real url from my site, so even the newly created SEF urls are not showing up on my site. I tried uninstalling gtranslate but this did not fix the problem. Is there something that is changed when I installed Gtranslate that could affect JoomSEF? Or is there something about the htaccess file that might be interfering with the operation of JoomSEF? Specifically, does Gtranslate change the way the real urls are created in my site? The urls that are displaying now do not appear the same as before and so JoomSEF does not recognise them. For example the following page should have the sef url of endless-satsang.com/advaita-nonduality-oneness.htm but instead it shows up with the url: endless-satsang.com/index.php?option=com...p;id=64&catid=11 In the JoomSEF URL Manager it lists the real url as: index.php?option=com_content&catid=11&id=64&view=article&Itemid=6 which is slightly different. Any of these urls will bring you to the same page, including the sef url. I also noticed that many of my internal links are now showing the real url. The weird part is that some of the internal links still have the SEF url working. For examples, you can hover the mouse over the various links on my home page. Some of them show up as SEF urls and some of them show up as the non-SEF urls. All of the main menu items still show up as SEF urls. And there are pages that are linked to with SEF urls on my home page that open up with the SEF url when you follow that link. but if you follow a different link on the site to the same page it will show up with a non-SEF url. Any clues why this is happening?

Here is my current htaccess file in case that helps: ## # @version $Id: htaccess.txt 9975 2008-01-30 17:02:11Z ircmaxell $ # @package Joomla # @copyright Copyright (C) 2005 - 2008 Open Source Matters.

It is not related to GTranslate. You can check if you have SEF URLs and Apache mod_rewrite on in global configuration, also make sure the plugin is enabled.
