Hi,

It gets stranger. The Joomsef metabot cannot be uninstalled from the Joomla control panel and it does not appear in my host cpanel list of plugins under joomla system plugins. When I try to uninstall it in the Joomla admin area I got a message reading "Manifest File Invalid or Not found".

I'll now follow the rest of the steps you outlined.

Thanks again,
Patrick

Hi,

I made the upgrade and I'm still getting the same results. I'll make the changes in the custom urls, but if the problem persists with all newly created sections, is this something that can be configured via paid support? I'm not convinced that the problem is not the result of a configuration error on my part, and I'd be glad to pay someone who knows what they are doing to take a look at the situation.

Thanks,
Patrick

Another thing that could be causing "Direct access to this location is not allowed" is e.g. setting of Legacy plugin to NO when using some non Joomla 1.5 native components.
