After upgrading from Joomla 3 to 4, the links (URL) to the gallery have changed

Post by AlexVin »

First of all, thank you very much for a good component!

After upgrading from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4, the category links (URL) changed.
In Joomla 3, the links looked like this:
(After the alias menu "foto") word "category" and category ID (+ alias ).

Code: Select all

http://.../foto/category/460
And this type of link was for both main categories and subcategories.

After updating to Joomla 4, the link became like this:
- for the main category: ID only:

Code: Select all

http://.../foto/460
- for a subcategory: the ID of the previous category and the ID of this category:

Code: Select all

http://.../foto/460/461
I have a lot of albums. And also many links from social networks. How to return the link to the previous look (so that it was like in Joomla 3)?

To better understand, I made a picture. Red color on picture shows changes in links:

Hi, unfortunetely, Joomla router was changed in Joomla 4 without any backward compatibility, see:

Thanks for the answer!
It is bad that there is no solution.
