With the latest Joomla updates, sh404SEF no longer works, the links of K2 and Virtuemart are incorrect or not SEF. Virtuemart Links only works with internal SEO enabled. K2 misses the selected language. The copy of my site on the local PC has conflicts with https (off).

Hi
There's not much information here so let's try to be more specific:
1 -
2 - Was there any update to K2? which exact version of K2 are you running?
3 -
4 -
5 -
6 -
Could you please provide us with superadmin credentials to your website. You can create a temporary account, and delete it afterward, but it must have superuser level.
Thanks and regards
There's not much information here so let's try to be more specific:
1 -
With the latest Joomla updates,You updated from Joomla 3.9.14 to 3.9.15? or were you running a much older Joomla version prior to that?
2 - Was there any update to K2? which exact version of K2 are you running?
3 -
the links of K2 and Virtuemart are incorrect or not SEF.Is sh404SEF still enabled? do you have any message on sh404SEF control panel?
4 -
Virtuemart Links only works with internal SEO enabled.What does that mean? what happens? 404s?
5 -
K2 misses the selected language.So this is a multilingual site. Which multilingual system do you use? Falang? Joomla standard multilingual system?
6 -
The copy of my site on the local PC has conflicts with https (off).sh404SEF does not handle the domain (https/non-http is part of the domain section of URLs). HTTP is entirely handle by Joomla itself. That said, it is normal that a local copy of the site does not work under HTTPs unless you specifically configured your local server to with an SSL certificate and your browser to accept it.
Could you please provide us with superadmin credentials to your website. You can create a temporary account, and delete it afterward, but it must have superuser level.
Thanks and regards

1 You updated from Joomla 3.9.14 to 3.9.15? or were you running a much older Joomla version prior to that?
- joomla is always updated to the latest version available
2 - Was there any update to K2? which exact version of K2 are you running?
- The version of K2 is v2.10.2
3. Is sh404SEF still enabled? do you have any message on sh404SEF control panel?
- Now sh404SEF is disabled, I have not had any messages from the control panel. The link with Google Analytics does not work.
4. Virtuemart Links only works with internal SEO enabled. What does that mean? what happens? 404s?
- None 404. With Sh404SEF active, Virtuemart must have internal Seo active, otherwise the links are not SEF.
5. K2 misses the selected language. So this is a multilingual site. Which multilingual system do you use? Falang? Joomla standard multilingual system?
- I use the Joomla standard multilingual system. When the site is in Italian and I click a K2 link, this changes the language of the site in English.
6. The copy of my site on the local PC has conflicts with https (off).
- Actually on the local PC I turned off https. In the website menu, the items are set in the metadata> Security (https protocol)> Yes.
So the link reports error. If I set "No" the link works correctly.
7. Could you please provide us with superadmin credentials to your website. You can create a temporary account, and delete it afterward, but it must have superuser level.

Hi
So the problems:
1 - You had enabled "301 redirect from non-sef to sef", please leave it to default
2 - You had enabled "301 redirect from Joomla SEF to sh404SEF", please leave it to default
3 - You enabled "Try to autoredirect 404": you can leave it on but we do not recommend enabling this, it often provides a poor user experience. I left it enabled, your choice.
After doing this, links to K2 appears to me to work normally. However all Virtuemart links from the top menu are giving 404s. I don't know what's on your site that causes this, I will keep on looking for the next few minutes.
Best regards

Hi
Something's not right here: the links in the menus do not have .html in them, but Joomla (and sh404SEF) is set to have them with .html.
Did you do anything special with the menus? any reason why the .html suffix would be gone?
Best regards

Hi again,
OK, I don't get it: how is your main menu done? I don't see any menu module for the main menu.

No, I haven't done anything about .html

Hi again
SO I have tested again by going to the links directly and all works fine, for instance https://xxxx.com/en/i-saggi/zen-naikan-book-detail.html or others.
There's something on your site that remove the .html suffix on links. A plugin or the template I don't know but something is removing the .html suffix and causing all that trouble.

Hi
I have disabled sh404SEF while doing research. Maybe you need to purge the cache.

Now works. Unfortunately the virtuemart links added "detail", how can I delete it?
wb_weeblr
Hi
sh404SEF is not running, I'm taking a backup of the sit so that I can understand what on your site is breaking sh404SEF and in the mean time I have disabled it.
So nothing that happens right now is related to sh404SEF.
NB: having "detail" in the URL with standard Joomla and standard Virtuemart is absolutely normal . That's the URL Virtuemart creates normally.

Hi
Yes, took time but at least I found why the VM links are non-SEF: that's because you enabled the corresponding function:
Obviously I did not think about checking that option, I just wonder why you would enable that. Anyway, that solves one mystery.
