Hi

also another major issue i have, when i purge the the sh404SEF all the links to articles gets 404 error

That's exactly what purging is for and how this is supposed to work.

URLs are created when they are needed by Joomla, for instance when a link to a page is displayed somewhere for the first time, Joomla asks sh404SEF to create it. When it's created the link can then be used.

https://xxxx.com/immigration-blog/sponsor-your-fiance-to-canada.html

it shows

https://xxxx.com/easyblog/sponsor-your-fiance-to-canada.html

sh404SEF does not create links for EasyBlog itself, it uses the router.php file provided by easyblog so my guess is that EasyBlog requires Joomla to add the menu item? Immigration Blog is the menu item or is it just a category for this item?

In all cases, best setting for such a component is as follow:

- Go to "By component" and locate EasyBlog

- Leave the 1st drop-down as "Use default handler"

- Under the Second drop-down, select "Use router.php with menu item"

- Purge URLs (!)

Then go to home page and navigate to where you can see those links.

Hi

By component is one of the main tabs of sh404SEF configuration:

I think however the big issue here is that you have created 3 menu items to that blog and both Joomla and sh404SEF with this setting will be confused by which URL to use here.

You should delete - and delete from trash as well - the 2 addition menu items and just keep one (and then Purge URLs to have new URL created).

After at least just unpublishing the extra blog menu items and purging, the URLs are similar to /blog/sponsor-your-fiance-to-canada.html which is expected considering your menu structure (the menu item as an alias of "blog" not "immigration-blog".
