In this tutorial we will enable Search Engine Friendly (SEF) URLs.
Begin by navigating to Site >> Global Configuration
We want to set Search Engine Friendly URLs to Yes
If you are on an Apache server that uses mod_rewrite set this option to Yes, otherwise leave it to No.
Then save the changes
The configuration changes have been made. If you are using Apache with mod_rewrite there is one more step, updating the .htaccess file.
Open the htaccess.txt file.
If you have Joomla installed in a folder (www.site.com/joomla) you will need to edit the RewriteBase line. It should read RewriteBase /joomla
Save the file
Then rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess
SEF URLs will now be working on your site
