You can go in the menu Display->Content menus and edit your menu to change it to what you want. The category part can be changed in the "SEF url options" of the configuration of HikaShop. The 12-houtgestookte-cv part is the id and the name of your product. That can't be changed. Finally, for the part Itemid-565 that might require a slight modification. Could you try to add the line: unset($query); before the line: unset($query); in the file components/com_hikashop/sef_ext.php and try again ? (you might have to clean your sh404sef cache to see the change) If that modification removes that without breaking anything, we would add it to next release so let us know how that goes.

There is however a code that looks a lot like you mention already in that file: Code: if(isset($query['category_pathway'])&& empty($query['category_pathway'])){ unset( $query['category_pathway'] ); Do i have to add the line you told me below that? Or do i edit this line? Regards.

Thanks a lot! Patrick")* Hi, The options for the simplification of the SEF URLs in HikaShop, which have been added since 2 years ago, will work with SH404SEF and the normal joomla SEF system. These options can be found in the SEF section of the "features" tab of the HikaShop configuration. Code modifications are not necessary anymore. JoomSEF have their own URL generator for HikaShop so I don't know what kind of URLs it will generate.
