TOPIC: 404 Redirect not working

404 Redirect not working 9 years, 11 months ago #45929

Hi.

I have been trying hard to solve this before posting in the forums but I had no luck.

My problem is that although I have enabled redirecting to home page for all 404 pages, this doesn't work.
Let me explain what I have tried.

1. 404 Page -> (Front Page) and

This is ignored by joomsef unless I choose "No" for "Parse Joomla SEO links?" in advanced tab.

Even in that case, all pages are redirected to front page BUT the page url doesn't change.
For example example.com/test shows example.com but the url remains as example.com/test which is bad for SEO as we have multiple urs pointing to the same content. I need the page to actually redirect and not just rewrite the content.

2. I have tried to add "ErrorDocument 404 /index.php" in my .htaccess file but this is ignored.
If I disable joomsef this works!

Any ideas?
