Article urls still pointing to old menu - even though deleted

Hi,

I have created a second easyblog categories menu and also created a sidebar menu using the Easyblog Categories module and adding all the relevant category ids to it.

When I click on any link in the new sidebar on the new page I| created, the url points to the old menu and opens the article up under the old page.

I read somewhere that if I clear easyblog SEF it would correct the links. I have gone through settings and cannot see anywhere to purge SEF.

Is this the correct way to fix this? If so, where/how do I do it?

This is fairly urgent as I have sent out newsletters with links to these articles, and concerned users will get an error when they try to view.

Kind regards

Mel
Hi Mel,

Can I have your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can check on the issue here?

Hi Mel,

To be honest I am not quite sure what you are trying to achieve here as you have a lot of easyblog menu and frontpage menu. Do you mean that you want to get rid of the "News" menu and use "Funding & Grants" menu item instead as the base of your blog url? If that so you can go to your backend > easyblog > settings > seo > advanced > routing behavior change to "use specific menu id" and add the id of the menu item that you want. I've set it to use funding and grants menu item id for now and it should be working fine now.

Hi Ezrul,

no, I need to different menus: those that sit under News to be opened in the news menus and those that sit under the funding and grants page to open under funding and grants. Is it not possible to achieve this?

At the moment, the funding and grants menu items now open correctly, but now the other menu links under the News section don't - they open on the funding and grants pages.

Hi Mel,

Ah I see. This can only be achieve if you are using single category menu item instead of frontpage menu item. Ideally you only need to have one easyblog frontpage menu item as a base of the url and you can specify the url more with single category menu item.

For example if your category alias is "category-a" you can make the blog url to looks like this after you have created a single category menu that associated with category a on your site, yoursite.com/category-a.

Hope these explanation help.
