Go to : - **Components** => **HikaShop** => **Configuration** - Click on **Features** tab, and go on **SEF url options** part For follow your Url example, see the screenshot on below : [ ![SEFurlOptions.png](/forum/attachment/31045) ](/forum/attachment/31045 "SEFurlOptions.png") Simply remove **Product SEF name** as on this screenshot, must be enough to have what you want in your precise example. Hope this will help you.

Eg a menu item with the alias 'paypal-query', which should be rewritten to www.example.com/paypal-query , is actually rewritten to www.example.com/Products/paypal-query")* Hi, Hard to say. We don't know how your menu items are configured and what structure they have. A link to a product page is constructed like that: http(s) ![:/](/irritated.gif ":/")/ yourwebsite.com / the alias of the current menu item (and potentially the alias of its parent menu items) unless it's the homepage / the product SEF name if specified / the alias of the product So if Product doesn't come from your product SEF name, it must come from the alias of the current menu item and that's added automatically by Joomla because you're accessing the product through a menu item with that alias which is not the homepage.

Eg a menu item with the alias 'paypal-query', which should be rewritten to www.example.com/paypal-query , is actually rewritten to www.example.com/Products/paypal-query")* I have narrowed the problem down to the wrong path being added to the Joomla table __menu whenever a new menu item is created (after the installation of HikaShop). I have checked $table data in the save function from /administrator/components/com_menus/models/item.php, which shows no problems: item name, alias and path are all the same (no '/Products/' in path). To test whether HikaShop might be doing something I manually changed the menu item linking to index.php?option=com_hikashop&ctrl=product in the __menu table: alias changed from 'Products' to 'ProductsXX' Then whenever I create a new menu item I get '/ProductsXX/' in the path - see screen shot: [ ![hikashop-problem.png](/forum/attachment/31179) ](/forum/attachment/31179 "...op-problem.png") Can't work out what is going on, but it does seem to be an override from HikaShop that is causing this - and having paid almost EURO 100 to buy the business version, it would be good to get this sorted out! - [ ![hikashop-problem.png](/forum/attachment/31179) ](/forum/attachment/31179 "...op-problem.png") [ ](/forum/attachment/31179?download=1 "...op-problem.png") Last edit: 10 years 5 months ago by [dzseti](/forum/user/42791-dzseti "View dzseti's Profile").
