  • Changes for Joomla 3.8 release:

  • Change: 'Remove Content Article ID', 'Remove Content Category ID' and 'Append Content Article ID' settings don't take affect since Joomla 3.8.0, use Articles component setting 'Remove IDs from URLs' when 'URL Routing' is Experimental.
  • Fix: fatal error on on Joomla 3.7 with all disabled options.
  • Fix: sometimes 404 errors are not triggered on URLs like http://site.com/BAD-SEGMENT/menu-item-alias/parent-cat-alias/child-cat-alias/article-alias
