I always get lost configuring these how I want them. We currently have:

For VM categories:
www.demo.cmykreative.com/berkeley/index.php/component/virtuemart/formal-shirts

For VM products:
www.demo.cmykreative.com/berkeley/shop/f.../covent-2004-b01.php - this is correct

What we want is:

For VM categories:
www.demo.cmykreative.com/berkeley/shop/formal-shirts

For VM products:
www.demo.cmykreative.com/berkeley/shop/f.../covent-2004-b01.php - this is correct

What settings do we need to change to get this?

Additionally, on normal Joomla pages, we have:

www.demo.cmykreative.com/berkeley/about-...gorised/about-us.php

we want:

www.demo.cmykreative.com/berkeley/about-us.php

Hi,

The /index.php/component/virtuemart/formal-shirts is not generated by JoomSEF, it is old SEF URL generated by Joomla's default SEF. Make sure that everything is enabled in JoomSEF's Control Panel in the SEF Status box on the right side and clear Joomla's caches.

For your articles' URLs open Manage Extensions page in JoomSEF, open the Content extension parameters and on the Extension tab set "Exclude categories from article links" to "uncategorised" and on the Common tab set "Add Menu Title to URL" to "No".
