I am using 4SEF on a Joomla 4 site and I am experiencing two different problems:
1. When creating a new article from the Admin side, 4SEF will sometimes generate the SEF URL for the new article, and other times it will not do anything. I noticed that this happens only for articles that are assigned certain categories, including the Uncategorized and a couple others. Articles that are assigned other categories will have SEF URLs generated automatically by 4SEF.
2. When creating an article from the frontend side, 4SEF will not generate a SEF URL for the newly created article. It does not matter if I assign a category or not. I still have to go to the backend and "save" the article again before I see the URL appear in the list in 4SEF.
Please advise as to what to do to fix the problem. Thank you.
