Page Builder Article Blog URL's Need To Be SEO Friendly
Mike Underwood
I have a site that uses PB with a articles addon, the page looks like I want and works but when you click on one of the articles that are displayed to read the article the URL looks like: https://domain.com/component/content/article/article-title.html?catid=91&Itemid=435 when if this was a normal Joomla category blog the URL would be: https://domain.com/article-name of article that I want here
I looked all over the PB and I do not see a setting for SEO Friendly names for URL's, I know I can do this in a htaccess, but there needs to be a setting that says if the Joomla SEO friendly URL's then use them.
Thank you, Mike

Accepted AnswerHi Mike,
It's not a SPPB issue, and never was. To get short aliases (links) you have to add that category to menu as menu item (type blog) - yes, you can hide that menu item. It's how Joomla works with articles and extensions also modules that uses it.

Accepted AnswerPaul,
Thank you, I created a test hidden menu item for the category and that worked.

Accepted AnswerHi! Yes, hidden menu item does the job ... but then there is a new problem: breadcrumbs do not work as expected. Breadcrumbs link to the hidden menu instead of the previous sppb-page. Any hint? Kind regards Stefan

Accepted AnswerThe only crazy idea I have is to create a "fake" Breadcrumbs on that page only.
Then you can use there your own custom links. You can use Custom module with HTML code copied from orginal breadbrumb section, customized, and published on .... "content-top" position for example or "title" if it works better.
Think out the box.
