Hi

I can see a couple of problems on your site links, as it is now:

1 - The "Our eco house" link is "/stay%20at%20hua%20hin%20beach". It means you have left spaces characters in it. Spaces are illegal in a URL, so Joomla translate them to %20, while sh404SEF translates them to "-"

I suspect that you have hardcoded this menu item link, instead of using an article menu item or similar. Is this right? what is the menu type for this menu item?

2 - Other links in the menu: there is an automatic redirect happening on your site. For instance the menu link /our-rooms/ambe:, when you click on it, your site redirects to /en//our-rooms/amber

This is incorrect and should be removed. Possible reasons are:

- you added this redirect in your .htaccess (why?)
- the Joomla language filter plugin is enabled. As your site has only one language, it should not be enabled.

thank you very much you are right that the space is illegal. I was trying to change on sh404SEF but I was unable to do so.
I disabled Joomla language filter plugin . it is now working. I have another language in the system but it disable it. ( I have not added redirect in .htaccess files)
If I want to have more than one language what should I do tho achieve this?

thanks

You don't change that in sh404SEF. You change that in the original link. Ie: probably you have left spaces in the article alias I guess.

I disabled Joomla language filter plugin . it is now working. I have another language in the system but it disable it. ( I have not added redirect in .htaccess files)

There is nothing special to do for sh404SEF, you simply need to have working Joomla multilingual site. In your case, I'm pretty sure you only enabled the language filter, but you did not create yet the other requirements for a Joomla multilingual site such as

- declaring additional languages in Joomla Content tab of the language list (it's not enough to install language packs most of the times)
- create different "Home" menu items, one per language

Those are required for a Joomla ML site, not by sh404SEF. Once the site is properly set up for multilingual operation, sh404SEF will work fine with it.
