Joomla 3.3.3

I have no redirects in place, not in the .htaccess or the Joomla redirect component. The problem is that when a user clicks on a tag they are redirected to the wrong article.

For example, if you click on the tag 'guide' the actual link is http://www.mywebsite.com/component/tags/tag/10-guide but the user is redirected to http://www.mywebsite.com/10-guide and this returns a 404 error.

When other tags are clicked you either get a 404 error or a random article from the website.

Is this a known issue? Has anyone run into this before?

Thanks for your time.

  • I have found a way around this but it's not ideal. Basically I created a new menu (I have not assigned a module to the menu) and created a new menu item for each tag (Tags » Compact list of tagged items). The example link in my post is now mywebsite.com/guide and it works as it should. You could put the links in a submenu with a parent of 'Tags' so that the link would be mywebsite.com/tags/guide

  • What are you using to get the links for the tags? A particular module or view?

  • The links are simply the ones where you click on the tag on the website.

Does this work with SEF URLs switched off? Try turning off SEF URLs, clear the cache and click on a tag (in the front end) again to see if this resolves the issue. If it does then it may be an issue with your SEF URLs
