1.4.0

And I tried your upgrade option and it failed.

No other issues with other Joomla extensions I have installed and running.

1st I am personally new to joomla and this SEF comp. I don't get any money or anything for this, just want you to know that I am just a regular person using it like you. That said:

Uninstall the 1.4.0 version and download and install the 1.4.1 version. Don't try to use the upgrade for either the website or the file on your computer. No matter what I have not been able to get the upgrade function to work at all.

I have two sites that I am working on and a third on it's way. The original site I made is still using 1.3.3, don't have the heart yet to try the upgrade again, as I did with 1.4.0 and had to uninstall. But I think I might over the weekend. That way I can be sure not to lose my links as they are.

Now, the other site, I started it just the other day, so not many links at all and I uploaded 1.4 and it worked (ok) for the most part, but I just uninstalled it and installed 1.4.1 and it seems to be working a lot better.

I tried and tried many times using 1.4.0 on my 1st site with no luck at all. But this site really seems to handle the 1.4.1 version well. Will see in a few days about the dup. links etc., as to whether that issue has been solved, but so far, yep.

Even if you get your money back, I would still recommend using this comp. The only difference in the Free and Paid, from what I understand is the link back link at the bottom, which is not really a big deal, unless you require not having it there. But I think that you will be able to get the 1.4.1 version up and running very quickly on your site.

Don't know how new or old it is, and how many pages you have, but give it a shot. Might actually be what you want it to be.

Check out both of my sites here:

http://www.kccert.org - using the 1.3.3 version (seems slower to me)

http://www.disasterservice.org - using the new 1.4.1 version (seems a lot faster)

When you do view them using either IE7 or FF, as IE6 has an issue with my home page on my first site and I have yet to figure it out.

Good luck and I'll watch this post for a bit tonight and if I am on and you need help, I can see if I can help you. Just remember that I don't know sh** about this, as I am still learning on a daily basis.

Thanks Chris

Uninstalled 1.4.0 and installed 1.4.1 and now even though it is enabled, it isn't working. This of course has made my site fly but doesn't provide the desired result. I give up I am going to OpenSEF.

Just a last question, did you have the SEO option enabled in the global config file and in the SEF seciton, they both have to be enabled to get it working.

I can understand your grief, personally I tried OpenSEF and never could get it to work like I wanted it to. That's why I gave up on it and actually used this one.

I know that when I installed the 1.4.1 version I made sure I dumped all the automatically created URLs and went from there. It worked quite well, just be sure to set the options the way you want them in the control panel of the SEF comp.

Anyways, good luck to you and your site.

Yes all settings have been checked and double checked. even went as far as to turn them off and then on again.

Joomla SEO is working, JoomSEF is not

Well, you have now stumped me, as I have learned all I have so far through trial and error.

I would say, hey let me in and check it out, but I never mess with a website that I am not invovled with.

My next word of advice to you is, keep your fingers crossed, go in the direction that you feel you need to go and good luck. Would love to see the site when its done.
