Why is this? I have Virtuemart installed on my site www.leconcepts.com and 2 out of 16 product categories have a -2.html added to the SEF category name - any idea how to remove this?

OK, I finally managed to figure out how to fix the two -2.html URL's. In the ARTIO back-end, go into view/dlete SEF URL's and delete any occurrances of the correct URL (if listed), then edit the -2.html (or whatever it is in your case) and change it back to .html (or whatever your URL ends with).

Now go back to the main ARTIO control panel and clear the ARTIO cache.

Hope that helps someone.

p.s. this is using ARTIO v2.1.1

Thank you so much for posting this solution!
There's nothing worse than coming across a relevant forum post without an answer.

While your answer hasn't directly helped me, it has!
You've made me a happy man. :)

Hello,

to prevent creating of -2.html and similar, set the \"Ignore multiple sources (Itemids)\" parameter to \"yes\". It is default setting since JoomSEF 2.2.1.

If you already have your site running, feel free to delete such \"-2.., -3...\" endings. They should not be generated again (maybe just in some special cases).

For more details, see help section about duplicates or

Best regards,
Michal

Now that works - THANKS A MILLION

I tried this but am still getting the -2 and -3 endings on a freshly installed 2.2.5 version and cleaned url cache.
