When I create a new article at https://www.example.com the new article comes in the form https://www.example.com/joomla/1-category/1-article-number

What can I do so that Joomla drops the "/joomla" and the category and article numbers?

  • i don't want to drop the category and article name entirely. i just want to drop the /joomla and the numbers that precede the category and article name. i want to keep the categories because i have another page on the site that does a search by the category. – eg-dev-newbie Dec 10 '12 at 15:47

  • You shouldn't normally have a joomla in your url unless you are in a subfolder or something. It's not a normal structure to always have the word Joomla. – Elin Dec 11 '12 at 00:59
  • I've tried enabling the SEF option in global configuration and editing the .htaccess file in Apache. When i change the directory to /htdocs folder i get 404 errors. – eg-dev-newbie Dec 14 '12 at 21:29

This is really has to be taken from top level of category where you put article, just change it to whatever and you good

This is due to menu or category aliases, for example you have an article in menu item

> Joomla > Category 1 > Article

You can make it top level (Parent) so it will become like

http://yoursite.com/article

Here's how to remove it. Bitnami has a tool assuming you've already changed the .htaccess file on your apache server.

http://wiki.bitnami.org/Applications/BitNami_Joomla!_Stack

the sudo command on the remote server is:

$ sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/joomla/updateip --appurl /
