Hi,

Are you using any SEF such as Joomla core or sh404SEF.
Are you using mod_rewrite?

mod_rewrite? Hmmm I'm not really sure dear. LOL I'm such a munta! I checked my plug-in manager nothing called mod_rewrite installed at all.

OK, I see the confusion.
mod_rewrite is not a module.
If you go to your admin panel, global configuration, site tab:

The image will show the Apache mod_rewrite enable/disable option. I guess as you do not know, you may well not be using it.

OK, this all comes down to your .htaccess file found in the root of your server.
For me, this is a black art and have struggled in the past.

If you send me your email address by private message, i will send you a .htaccess file which I use on K2Joom.com, it does not display the K2 part in the Url.

You should map your content i menu items to have clean urls.
No need to edit the .htaccess code.

Would you mind clarifying what you mean by mapping the content in menus? This is a real issue for our site and we can't seem to figure out how to rid the URLs of component/k2 wording. We would like to eliminate or change both.

Creating menu items for all your content.
Eg. 1 menu item for each of your categories.
