Before I was linking to the 404 sef link. But I found out that with a update every link has to be changed in the articles.

So I did this linking to

https://www.xxxx.be/index.php?Itemid=113

On this page https://www.xxxx.be/ please hover on this

https://prnt.sc/

You can see that the link is https://www.xxxx.be/index.php?Itemid=113 instead of the seo link https://www.xxxx.be/contact/contacteer-ons

Thank you for you're advice

cheers,

You would have gotten the same result without sh404SEF, just with Joomla SEF.

For links to be processed and turned into SEF URL, Joomla needs them to start with index.php?xxxxx.

So if you start your links inside of articles with /index.php, /something, site.com/xxxx, https://site.com/xxxxx, Joomla will simply leave them untouched and won't even try to make them SEF - which includes sending to sh404SEF if sh404SEF is running on the site. But again, results would be the same without sh404SEF.

So the "right" and future-proof way of including links is to insert the non-sef URLs:

index.php?Itemid=113
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12&Itemid=34

My own personal preference is to use the free JCE editor. It has a "link" button which when clicked will just let you select an article, a category, a menu item visually and it will insert the proper link with a single click. By far the easiest and fastest way to do it.
