If you get component/hikashop, it means that there is no current menu. If you get several aliases, it means that you are on different menu items. In the HikaShop options of your products/categories listing modules, there is an option to select the menu that the links will use. Make sure that your different modules use the same menu (the all-products menu in your case seems to be the best) and that way you should get the same links.

I have also configured redj for 301 redirects and left that there to pick up anything that is errant. for anyone out that there that needs to configure redj then here is the syntax for hikashop if you have seo enabled in joomla and the hikashop seo. In Hikashop SEO I have: category sef: Departments. products sef: products. I ended up having various menus so these are the rules I created in ReDJ from: ^/bestsellers/Product/ to: [ myurl.com/all-products/Product/{pathltrim](http://myurl.com/all-products/Product/{pathltrim) /bestsellers/Product/}{queryfull} from: ^/component/hikashop/Product/ to: [ myurl.com/all-products/Product/{pathltrim](http://myurl.com/all-products/Product/{pathltrim) /component/hikashop/Product/}{queryfull} from: ^/departments/Product/* to: [ myurl.com/all-products/Product/{pathltrim](http://myurl.com/all-products/Product/{pathltrim) /departments/Product/}{queryfull} Thanks Nav --- [ Workwear Suppliers in the UK](http://www.workwearandsports.co.uk) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzQtaG93LXRvLzc3ODUyLWR1cGxpY2F0ZS11cmxzLWFuZC1kdXBsaWNhdGUtdGl0bGVzP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation.
