Hi,

Somehow the menu headings (sub menu's) are removed from the url. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?

The result I expected based upon my menu structure would be "nl/menu-heading/menu-alias", however the result is "nl/menu-alias"

Thanks in advance.

Hi

sh404SEF absolutely never use menu items to build URLs. This is the #1 SEO issue in Joomla, and one of the main reasons for sh404SEF to exist. URLS are built only with articles and categories titles, so that you get a unique URL, regardless of what menu you use to access a piece of content. This also help you enforce a strict structuration of your content, and reflect it in your URL structure, which is also beneficial to SEO.

You can always manually customize URls to match menu structure if you are sure that you don't have any other way to access the same content. It'd be better to organize and name your content according to the actual content structure.

Thanks for your answer. I've created corresponding categories and I now have the proper url structure.
