View source for Using Joomla Core SEF

== Enabling Joomla Core SEF URLs ==

To make the URLs look nicer, you should enable Joomla core SEF:
*go to Joomla Global Configuration, and on first tab set '''Search Engine Friendly URLs''' and '''Use Url rewriting''' to '''Yes'''. 
*leave '''Add suffix to URLs''' disabled.

*go to the root folder of your site and rename '''htaccess.txt''' file to '''.htaccess''' if you don't already have the .htacess file. This is required for URLs to work when '''Use URL rewriting''' is enabled.
