Happy New Year, Yannick!
You may recall I mentioned last year how I hoped 4SEF could help me migrate a couple of my websites from WordPress to Joomla.
I worked on the first of these last week. It's the simplest website, with 108 of my podcast episodes, with links to the episodes, insights, and show notes. As most listeners will access the episodes via their podcast apps, it just needs to look clean, so I've reproduced the look and feel of the live WordPress website in Joomla, while toning down the colours!
Live website: https://www.tallandtrueshortreads.com/
The main category for the podcast episodes is the season, Season One to Season Five. This doesn't appear in the URL when the episode is displayed on the WordPress site, for instance, Nick's Helper (Episode 108, 15 December 2025):
https://www.tallandtrueshortreads.com/nicks-helper/
However, as we know, on the Joomla website, where I've created an Episodes category to display all episodes, and Season One to Five subcategories, the URL looks like this on my staging/test website:
https://www.staging.rocher.com.au/episodes/season-five/nicks-helper
My understanding is that I can configure 4SEF to not include the categories in the URL, so once I've installed the extension, the URLs will look like:
https://www.staging.rocher.com.au/nicks-helper
But I assume this only affects articles and won't remove the category from a menu item's URL. By this I mean, if I select All Episodes on the live WordPress site, the URL looks like this:
https://www.tallandtrueshortreads.com/episodes/
And on my staging/test website it looks the same:
https://www.staging.rocher.com.au/episodes
I hope this makes sense. I just want to confirm my understanding of how 4SEF works before I commit to copying, pasting, and reformatting the 108 podcast episodes.
