*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.

For that, you need to use one of Joomla SEF extensions like [[Using sh404SEF with JReviews|sh404SEF]] or SEF Advance (only those two are supported by JReviews).

We recommended using Joomla's Core SEF to minimize possible performance impact of 3rd part SEF extensions.

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.
