Spacing in URL for tag links at the bottom of the articles was created by Francis Darren

Hi guys, I'm facing a bug where the URLs are broken for tags at the bottom of the articles. I came across some articles stating that this has been solved but it doesn't seem to be the case for me. The problem only happens for tags with more than 1 word.Could someone advice me on which file I need to change to fix this? Thanks

Hi Darren,
I don't if this will help, but you can see the modified version of one of the files here: trepmal.com/joomla/joomlak2-tags-mod/ (it's the same basic fix for the 3 files mentioned).

Thanks for replying. Do I need to do it for all 3 files? I tested it one by one individually. Don't think it fixed it but I'll try again. I want the tags below the articles to be fixed.

You'll definitely want to edit the 2 files in the components directory (one for single article view and the other for category view), and if you're using the K2 modules to display tags, you'll want to edit the third file too.

Thanks a billion! it works!

Edited item.php and category_item.php in mytemplate/html/com_k2 instead of /components/com_k2/templates/default/

Unfortunately, if the the link is showing the plus but is still giving a 404, I'm not sure what the problem is.

I noticed that the non SEF url has a space inbetween as well. Do you know which file do I need to change to fix this?

The only files I've edited to make the tags work were the ones mentioned above - it's worked for me several times. It's possible there's something unique to your setup that's causing the issue. Sorry I can't be more help.

Woot solved it!

Just needed to fix case 'tag'

case 'tag':
$tag=str_replace('%20','-',$tag);
$tag=str_replace('+','-',$tag);
$title[] = $tag;
break;

in components/com_k2/sef_ext
