Joomla 3.8 redirection problems

6 years 6 months ago #1 by geoffc
After running a quick test with Jomla 3.8.0 we installed it on our main site. Then we started to see problems, none of which had been seen on our test site.

The basic problem semed to be related to the 'new' Routing code and despite a few hours of debugging we couldn't seem to resolve the problem. The problem was that all of our 'forum' links and also our internal 'knowledgebase' links would redirect to the site home page. We did manage to solve a 'site map' redirection problem, but were forced to disable our forum link completely.

Searches on the web did not reveal any similar reported problems, or indeed any problems at all with 'Kunena' and Joomla 3.8, thus we were a little puzzled and perplexed.

Then we noticed an update for sh404SEF, which seems to have resolved the problem completely. Even though the probelm pages (forum et al) were using the Joomla router not sh404SEF, it seems that it was a) either the cause of the problem or b) working around the problem.

So for those of you that might be seeing similar problems and have sh404SEF installed I would suggest the update (4.11.0) is mandatory.
