If not, test it with a few canonical URLs set in your products, and see if you get the same results after clearing the cache. --- ~ Deb Cinkus, CEO Polished Geek: more with monday․com eCommerce Business Process Automation Experts Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI2LXByb2R1Y3QtY2F0ZWdvcnktZGlzcGxheS84OTAyNDMtaGlrYXNob3AtY29udGVudC1tb2R1bGUtbGluay1pbmNvc2lzdGVuY3k/dG1wbD1tYXJrZG93bg==) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[lmcbmai](/forum/user/49603-lmcbmai "View lmcbmai's Profile")** - [![lmcbmai's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/49603-lmcbmai "View lmcbmai's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/49603-lmcbmai) Less More - Posts: 39 - Thank you received: 3 - - 9 years 5 months ago - 9 years 5 months ago [\#269563](#269563) by [lmcbmai](/forum/user/49603-lmcbmai "View lmcbmai's Profile") Replied by *[lmcbmai](/forum/user/49603-lmcbmai "View lmcbmai's Profile")* on topic *[HikaShop Content Module link incosistency](/forum/26-product-category-display/890243-hikashop-content-module-link-incosistency#269563 "-- HikaShop version -- : 3.0.1 -- Joomla version -- : 3.7.0 Hi, I am configuring Hikashop on Joomla 3.7.0 with "Search Engine Friendly URLs" and "Use URL Rewriting" options enabled.

Without fixing content module it introduced additional links with /component/hikashop/ in the places where I did not have them before. Had to roll back the change and remove all canonical URLs from products table in database. Last edit: 9 years 5 months ago by [lmcbmai](/forum/user/49603-lmcbmai "View lmcbmai's Profile").

Best regards, B.G.")* Hi, This means that you didn't select a HikaShop menu item in the "menu" setting of your module and thus the system uses the current menu item, and when the current menu item is not a Hikashop menu, Joomla's SEF system has to use component/hikashop instead of the alias of the menu item so that the link can still work.
