Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of 4SEF version 1.0.4 - Beta. This is a pre-version, test-only of the final upcoming release of 4SEF!

IMPORTANT: 4SEF is still in beta testing phase. This means it's in the final stages of testing and should be used only with caution as some bugs may happen when used in the real world. Beta testing is meant to identify these issues that cannot be discovered during develoment and internal testing.

We recommend using it on test copies of your website only. If you decide to test on your real website, make sure you have a backup on hand so that you can restore things to their previous state in case something goes wrong.

Here are the highlights:

  • Submit new article links do not work, go to home page
  • Tiny tweaks to user interface, fixed panels sliding in not always working when editing an item.

Please see this page for a full changelog. This release is immediately available both from the download area and using the one-click Joomla! updater of your web site.

Best regards

Hello,

We're pleased to announce the release of sh404SEF version 4.24.2. This is a maintenance release with a single improvement!

Important: sh404SEF now requires Joomla 3.9.0 or more recent. It won't install or update on older Joomla versions.

Important: As per previous notices, all our extensions now require PHP 5.6 as a minimum PHP version. sh404SEF or wbAMP will not install or update if a lower PHP version is detected.

Here are the highlights:

  • Added hook for pagination chrome file loading. Allows adding a filter to fix templates (such as T3-based from Joomlart) breaking pagination by having their own JPagination class override.

Please see this page for a full changelog. This release is immediately available both from the download area and using the one-click Joomla! updater of your web site.
