From front end -- clicking on "View All Posts" link at bottom of category results in a "404 Category Not Found" page. The address box in the browser shows that the link trying to get to the correct category but can't find it. This is most likely a configuration error on my part but I can't find any documentation on where to set the link.
There are two categories shown on the front end blog page: http://essentialchef.com/designDEV/chef-blogs
Both exhibit the same issue.
Where do I specify (or alter) the page that this link points to?
Note that this site is still under development.
Hi Gregory,

In order for easyblog to work properly you need to have at least one "Easyblog (post) frontpage" menu item in order for the url structure to work properly. The menu item will later become the base of your blog url. For example if the menu item alias is called "blog", all of your blog url structure will become like this for example : http://yoursite.com/blog or http://yoursite.com/blog/your-entry-title . Hence it will be easier for easyblog to identify which url structure it should follow for the rest of the components.

This is essentials to avoid some issue like the one you are facing previously. Hope these can clarify your confusion regarding on the menu item structure of easyblog.

Yes, of course. What do you need from me?
Just to be sure... you are looking at the designDEV version of the site? That site is running version 5.0.9

hey Gregory,

I have help you updated to latest version of Easyblog and created a "Easyblog (Post) frontpage" menu item in your hidden menu, everything is look fine now. Can you give it a try now?

The reason why I need to create a hidden menu for this is because I noticed you only create "EasyBlog ยป (Categories) All Categories" menu item, so when you view blog entry page or view all the post listing, Joomla do not know which is the correct URL should be call so hitting 404, it actually needed a menu item for "Easyblog (Post) frontpage" to define the main Easyblog URL, so the URL will get correctly.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. The "View All Posts" links are now working properly.

I do not quite understand your final comment above.
Would it have been preferable for me to set "Easyblog (Post) frontpage" as the primary link in the main menu and then perhaps hidden menu items to the individual categories? Essentially the opposite of what the set-up in now? Best to get the configuration correct at this point. Only interested in configuring the correct way. Recommendation?

I wasn't expecting any particular URL format. Simply interested in setting up the menus properly. If menus are correct now, then no need to do anything further. Just don't want to leave this issue with the menu structure backwards.
