i solved this.
try to purge all urls from sh404sef, refresh the webstite
then in k2 config > advance > Advanced SEF Settings > Prefix for tag URLs replace "tag" word to "tags"
this works to my website!

I can wait, I have a number of things that I need looked at (such as the tags)

Hello.

Let me summarize please. Now, I have done as follows.

1. I changed font size or tried to remove it at itemHeader tag from k2.css file where is located in /com_k2/css and in /templates/my template/css both.
But nothing has been changed. The font size is the same.

Could you kindly check this out please..

Regards,

If you can see somthing wrong for image please tell me.

Thank you

The links could be generated from your menu structure.
A change in the menu means that new URLs where generated. A change in K2's Advanced SEF will also have similar effects.

Furthermore sitemap generating extensions can cause this issue as well.
Finally a K2 module which produces wrong URLs (Eg: does not follow the component's settings) could also be the culprit. A canonical tag will cure this headache.

Currently, I am rendering the canonical tag by way of K2 absolute URL or an extra field override, but the real issue is the generation of bad page URLs.

This extension seems to remedy this issue.

In fact you can write a function in the K2 template, which will insert these links in the tag rel=canonical! Parse the query string and from string to insert tag or rel=canonical or not!

Upon further investigation, it looks like this K2 Specific extension is best option to resolve Duplicate Content issue:

Website:
www.managecms.com/extensions/k2-canonical-links

Description:

With Canonical Links for K2 ranked in Top 5 K2 extensions you will get true canonical links for your K2 articles. We have tried other solutions offered on the market, tried Joomla 3 native solution, and found out that they all had issues, as reported on various forums around the web. We applied our 5+ years of experience with Joomla and K2 and developed a new plugin to solve canonical problem once and for all.

If you can reach the same K2 article with links like:

www.example.com/article
www.example.com/category/article
www.example.com/tag1/article
www.example.com/tag2/article

All of them will have the same canonical link! Not only that, but you can choose to automatically redirect users to your canonical page.

Tags and categories are fully supported. We also set canonicals for paginated series, so that Google can index properly your categories with more than one page.

Plugin is carefully tweaked so that the most appropriate link is chosen, based on your menu structure!

Basically you need a merge/ mashup of mod_menu and mod_k2_tools.
I think a custom mod_menu override (with caching) would do the trick.

SocialConnect v1.7.0 is now available for all active subscribers to download.

This new version primarily fixes functionality broken by recent updates in Joomla 3.4.x and changes in the Facebook API. More specifically:
- Redirect after login/logout now works for all login adapters (Joomla username, email, social connectors). Please note that if you do not specifically set which menu items to redirect to after a user logs in, SocialConnect will use the default settings from Joomla. That is, upon login, users get redirected to the profile edit page. So to avoid this behaviour, just create a SocialConnect menu item for the login page and set a menu item to redirect to after users login.
- Fixed Facebook login issue due to recent changes in Facebook's graph API.
- Updated SocialConnect so auto-post for pages works with the latest Facebook API 2.3.
- Updated extension so Joomla's modal script (and Mootools which is required by that script) is only loaded when needed (=when users are logged in).
- Fixed activation issue in Joomla 3.4.x
- Fixed Twitter cards issue on K2 item pages
- Fixed Facebook meta tags issue under Joomla! 3.3+
- Added "update" endpoint so future versions are visible in Joomla's update manager (for Joomla versions 2.5 & 3.x+)


DOWNLOAD
If you have an active SocialConnect membership, just head over to the Member Dashboard at www.joomlaworks.net/dashboard and grab your copy from your "Subscriptions" page.

Or purchase this latest release from just 24.90 EUR. More info at: www.joomlaworks.net/socialconnect


UPGRADING
Just upload the new version and it will overwrite the old one.

For more help, please visit the updated documentation page for the extension at: www.joomlaworks.net/support/docs/socialconnect

For support questions please use our Ticket Support System inside the Member Dashboard at www.joomlaworks.net/dashboard (active product membership required).

Not when you trying to display specific categories (vs. all categories within a parent category) or various categories that are not within the same parent category.

This is my suggestion:
github.com/joomlaworks/k2-v3-dev-build/issues/275

So the only current option is to render each category count independently.
The links will be hard coded because they will not change, but the counts need to be dynamic.

Hmm, wouldn't the K2 Tools module help you?

Hi,

No og:image meta tag is showing on my K2 item page (even when I add ?template=system)
Is there a setting I missed?

Thank you for your help
Julie

Hello Joe,

This will help as a starting point:
www.joomlaworks.net/forum/k2-en/41833-solved-retrieve-count-of-items-of-user#144866

To load the tag's count you need a different query.
Do not not forget to assign the tag's ID to the $tag_id variable.
The variable names are just for demo purposes.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your kind help. Let me ask you some questions again please.

1. I will need to change or adjust parameters at div.ItemIntortxt in the k2.css file right?
2. I use Artisteer tempalte actually. I need to copy k2.css to CSS folder where is at Artisteer template?

Well, I actually modified tag (div.ItemIntrotxt) and I fixed the issue of content's font. But I didn't see the title font size was changed.

Regards,

@Renzo

Try the development version from getk2.org/assets/get/ .

@Neighbor Hub

I don't see the plugin tag at the link you provided. If you have entered the tag in the introtext you have to either set K2 to display introtext or move the tag to fulltext.

In my case images are not loaded automatically.

Demo: www.slusam.net/component/k2/technobase-fm

Available options are : "none selected, xsmall, large .. etc"

Settings in k2 -- category -- Item view is :

As you can see, it laods ony image from the article where i have uploaded image manually in the "Image tab" ... :

Notice: every article has image inside content.

I want, to load first content image in related items listing if its possible ... maybe "little" code hack in /components/com_k2/templates/stanice/item.php could help to force loading first article image?

Thank you for answer.
Regards.

One bulletproof setup would be a menu item for each category (items do not need a menu item).
Then create a hidden menu item (K2 Category type) and leave the category selection blank. Call it eg: content, then all Tag and User URLs will be rendered from that menu item.

Sorry I mislead you, these characters are stripped by default.
github.com/joomlaworks/k2/blob/master/administrator/components/com_k2/tables/k2tag.php#L37-L39

Remove the desired character and replacement from the array bellow as well.
