I would like to use Category URL Titles in links to construct human-friendly URLs on my site. I’ve set the Category URL Indicator to “c”.

I have a page with the following URL:
http://www.my-site.com/template/c/category-name

And below is the code in the template:

{exp:channel:category_heading channel="channel-name"}
<h1>{category_name}</h1>
{/exp:channel:category_heading}

<ul>
{exp:channel:entries channel="channel-name"}
<li>{title}</li>
{/exp:channel:entries}
</ul>

The category name displays correctly, but I can’t get any entries to display. If I add in the dynamic=“no” parameter I can see all of my entries. What did I miss here? Seems like this is simple, out-of-the-box functionality.

Have you gone to Admin > Channel Administration > Global Channel Preferences and set the Use Category URL Titles in Links setting?

Best wishes,

Yes, and I’ve made sure the category URL Indicator is “c”.

Seems to work fine for me testing on 2.1.4. Are you removing the index.php using .htaccess?

If so have you tested by taking the .htaccess file out of the equation for a bit?

Also you are definitely using the correct category name in the URL and you definitely have some entries assigned to that category.

Embarrassed to report that I failed to assign the entries to the category… Thanks Mark!

No problem at all. That’s happened to us all before now 😉 and why I mentioned it.

Glad it was a nice easy fix.

Hope everything else goes well for you.

Thanks Mark. Closing this one out. Feel free to start a new thread if you have any more questions
