ModX: Changed to Friendly Alias URLS but now Wayfinder isnt working

I've used Wayfinder in my template, eg:

[[Wayfinder? &startId=`8` ]]

and it was working fine until I turned on friendly urls (by going: System>>System Settings>>User Friendly URLS)

Now none of my links work. On top of this if I click the 'View' button from a resource page or enter the full url into a browser I get a 404 error.

Am I missing something in this process?

(ps Im using Revo 2.1.3)

Solution

  • Have you configured your .htaccess file? It's required for friendly urls. When you install MODX it's named ht.access, so you'll need to rename it to .htaccess.

    If you've installed MODX in a subfolder you'll also need to set it here:

    RewriteBase /folder-name

    As Sean suggested, you'll also need to clear your cache to have your Wayfinder menu rebuilt.
