News listings give article IDs not menu IDs

I know that this isn't specifically a News+ extension issue, but I'm hoping you will have knowledge to help me resolve it. I have tried on the joomla.org forum, but had no response.

I have an issue where all news listing items give a link to the article instead of the menu. This caused issues as the article opens above the existing page.

All news articles have associated menu items.

The problem can be clearly seen in the News listing here: www.versatile.fi/finnbrit.

I'm completely stumped why it's happening and hope someone can help.

Most of time that is caused by that there's no menu item for the articles category you have created.
You may try to create a menu item linked to the respective category blog layout and see if that helps.

Yep, and in this case there are menus for all articles in the category. I have also tried the blog category menu, but no joy...

Are you sure you have those menu items created for ALL articles? what for? you just need to create a category Blog layout type menu item(s) for each article category.

by the way I see strange URLs on your articles inside LAtestNews+ module. They have format like this

www.versatile.fi/finnbrit/?id=....

which I never get anything like that. Are you using any 3rd party SEO plugin?

Yeah, that's what I mean. The URLs are just weird. No SEO plugin, just standard SEO friendly URLs. If I turn that off, it give the full non-friendly URL, but it points to just the article still.

I only have one category in Latest News+ and all the articles in that category have menus. However, I also created a blog layout menu item for the category. No difference.

I do have a multi-category component installed, but I've uninstalled it to check, and it made no difference either.

try to clean the cache from the admin? not sure what else, i guess it might be from mult-category comp that cause it if you already have a category blog layout menu item for them.
