I have recently installed Pligg v 9.9.0 and am having some issues getting the friendly urls to work.

Although published news items work ok, category urls, /upcoming, /user, /admin don't work and I get the pligg 404 page.

I have implemented the following

Pligg Google SEO Friendly URL Rewrite Hack (uses dashes instead of underscores)

Changed the url method to 2

My htaccess file is uploaded and looks like this

##### URL Method 2 ("Clean" URLs) Begin #####
RewriteRule ^(all|NLP|PersonalDevelopment|SelfImprovement|Hypn osis|SelfHypnosis)/([^/]+)/?$ story.php?title=$2 [L]
RewriteRule ^(all|NLP|PersonalDevelopment|SelfImprovement|Hypn osis|SelfHypnosis)/?$ ?category=$1 [L]


Can anyone please advise on where I'm going wrong or if this is a 9.9.0 bug?

Is that all your htaccess file looks like? you are supposed to add categories to a much larger htaccess.default file and rename that to .htaccess. It should be more like 1-2 pages long.

Sorry that was just the url method part of the .htaccess file. I have in fact renamed the htaccess.default file and copied across the code from the category management page in the admin area.

Just a quick update to say that the following doesn't work

http://hypgroove.com/category/SelfImprovement

but take out the category part and the link is ok

Hypgroove.com/Self Improvement

Is there any way I can remove the /category/ bit?
