Change Article URL from Article ID to Article Alias 03-09-2022

Right now, if you click any Joomla component or module, it will point towards the following URL:

www.domain.com/articles/category/UID

Each article has its own UID, and that seems to be the default.  (I have already routed all Joomla Articles to FLEXIContent Articles.)

However, instead of showing UID, I want it to show the article ALIAS like the following URL:

www.domain.com/articles/category/ALIAS

Here is a real-life example to explain it better...

Instead of showing www.domain.com/articles/category/214 , I want it to show  www.domain.com/articles/category/title-of-article

How do I change the FLEXIContent settings so the Joomla Default will always show the ALIAS field?

go to flexicontent global config and you have option to remove id in url for item and category (in flexicontent 4 for both)

You did not understand my question.

Please look at the two pictures. In one picture, you can see that the Global Setting has Remove id in URL set to yes.

However, when I click the link, it still only shows the Article ID.

I want it to show: www.domain.com/articles/category/title-of-article

How can we fix this?

In your option you only hide id for category not for item ..
But its not normal maybe you have an htacess problem i Cant reproduce your problem

I do not think it is an .htaccess problem It has something to do with FLEXIContent settings and FC Item View.

When I turn off "Redirect to FC Item View" and "Route to FC Item View", and turn on "Allow" to Joomla Article View, then everything is okay.

With Joomla Article view, everything is GOOD. With FC Item View, that is when I have problem.

GOOD - Joomla Article View
PROBLEM - FC Article View
If it is GOOD with Joomla Article View, then it can not be an .htaccess problem.

I want to fix the FC Item View so it works. Can you please help me?

I took a picture to show you.  With Joomla Article View, everything is GOOD.   With FC Item View, then I have PROBLEM.

GOOD - Joomla Article View
PROBLEM - FC Article View
If it is GOOD with Joomla Article View, then it can not be an .htaccess problem.

Please look at picture.  It is a problem with FC Item View Settings.

Can you please help me?
