The plugin works fine when Joomla SEF URLs is off. But when SEF is on, the plugin doesn't work properly. The plugin doesn't post the correct link of a product page to Facebook or Twitter. Let's say I have this url of a product page: [ www.site.com/shop/movies/product/show/avatar](http://www.site.com/shop/movies/product/show/avatar) The plugin posts only this part: [ www.site.com/shop/movies](http://www.site.com/shop/movies) I tried to use AddThis buttons but there is the same problem. So how to fix all this?

If it is, thanks to try to change it, it seems to be an invalid url and that's why the given url is wrong.

I see <link href="[ www.site.com/shop/movies](http://www.site.com/shop/movies)" rel="canonical" /> in the source of every page. But I have never changed the value of the field, it's blank. In PHPMyAdmin product_canonical is blank. I tried to change the value from blank to the actual link ([ www.site.com/shop/movies/product/show/avatar](http://www.site.com/shop/movies/product/show/avatar)), and I see in PHPMyAdmin that product_canonical is changed, it's [ www.site.com/shop/movies/product/show/avatar](http://www.site.com/shop/movies/product/show/avatar), but in the source of the page it's still <link href="[ www.site.com/shop/movies](http://www.site.com/shop/movies)" rel="canonical" />.

You have maybe another component which is generating canonical urls.

When Joomla SEF is OFF: I see <link href="[ www.site.com/index.php?option=com\_hikash...mp;view=product&blah](http://www.site.com/index.php?option=com_hikashop&view=product&blah) blah blah" rel="canonical" /> absolutely on every page, like [ www.site.com/shop/movies](http://www.site.com/shop/movies) or [ www.site.com/shop](http://www.site.com/shop).

I turned off the System - SEF plug-in in the Joomla's Plug-in Manager. Now everything works fine. But what I don't understand is that how Joomla's SEF still works. I thought that the plug-in was responsible for the entire SEF feature. So, the plug-in is turned off - no SEF URLs. But they are still there, only now there is no that canonical url in the source of a page.
