Question Edit profile button is linked to index.php

The configuration report is not perfect. If your site is located in a folder of your domain (e.g. www.mydomain.com/mysite ) then the configuration report will pick up some information from www.mydomain.com instead of from the "subdomain". That might explain why the report cannot find a .htaccess file in the root folder of your website.

But remember, the file is called .htaccess (i.e. "dot"-htaccess) not "htaccess" without the leading dot. It won't work otherwise.

yes I know the file is named .htaccess. Now I see that is was definitely misconfigured, because it were only two lines in it for my host. When I copy the Joomla specific lines in it I experience 404 (Kunena forum) and 500 errors. So have to see how to set it up correctly...

Everything you need to know is contained in Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) . You don't need to write your own .htaccess file; just use the standard Joomla one that is shipped as htaccess.txt - you have to rename it, of course. Easy.

okay finally I got my .htaccess working! But I still having the same problem. Here is my actual report:

I'm guessing - sometimes there is no precise science to guide you - that sh404SEF is somehow involved in this issue.

Have you tried disabling sh404SEF for Kunena pages or uninistalling sh404SEF completely to see if this addresses your issue? I think it's worth trying, at the very least.

If that does not work, can you please post your URL and a test account that we can use to see the actual problem for ourselves? You should post this information using the

okay I uninstalled sh404sef on my localhost and I got several 404 errors at first. When I also deactivate Joomla-Sef in the main configuration I can see my Kunena profile again! If I only deactivate Joomla-sef it`s not solving the problem so you are definitely right with your assumption.

But still it would be a big drawback for me to abandon my sef-urls so I created an account for you. I sent you a PM with the information.
