May I know what is the current rewrite rules for your site?

I have added my htaccess to the Optional information section below

Also my error.php page should redirects my 404 to the home page. But instead I get the /login page

<?php

header( 'Location: http://www.mateo1820.com ) ;

?>

Hm, your htaccess file seems to be the default htaccess file in Joomla. Am I missing anything?

No that is it.

I saw this on another post not sure if this is related:

<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_easysocial" />

						<input type="hidden" name="controller" value="profile" />

						<input type="hidden" name="task" value="login" />

Hello Christian,

Sorry but I don't quite get you here. You mentioned that whenever someone accesses /index.php/item from the old urls on your old site , you want it to be redirected to /item . Am I correct? Based on your .htaccess file, there are no rules that are performing such redirects.

I want it to go the home page. It seems my old links which go to /index.php/itme keep going to /login

Why would easysocial be showing the /login instead of the home page?

Hello christian,

I believe it's because the "view" does not exist. For instance, the url of http://mateo1820.com/index.php/videos does not exist in EasySocial since we don't actually have videos. Hence it is redirecting to /login . I can help you check your current setup but I would need to back end access to the site.

I understand that and this is the exact reason why it redirects the page but why to the login? why not the home page. Why does a user have to see the login page for a non existent page?

How can I show the home page instead. I have tried doing redirection through the .htaccess but it keeps going to the login page instead of the page I am choosing.

An example is my error.php file which it's set to go to the home page however it keeps showing the annoying login page instead.
Login info its under site details

Hi,

The page is technically the Unity page that you have set as main item in your Joomla's menu item configuration.

Invalid links are automatically redirected to the main menu item page actually and for your case, because the Unity view is set as the main menu item, and when a user is not logged in, the unity view shows a log in box instead.

Unfortunately that's true I just dont know how I could have Unity as my homepage so it shows some posts on the home page and have the users redirect to the home page instead of unity.
I tried changing the error.php file so that my 404 will go to the home page but I guess I have not configure it right

Thank you for the truth you have shared I understand why it's doing this now I hope I can figure out the rest. Thank you.

Hi,

You're welcome.
