Category Not Found - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi

i new joomla , have done every diagnosis know of hoping bit more expertise myself, won't take much!

the site running v3.4.1 , using k2 framework, hosted siteground, assume (!) no hosting issues.

if click article within 2 different categories, same "404 category not found" error, however, these 2 categories set exact same way - have double checked, tripled checked , - rest of categories, none of have same problem.

if disable sef url's , use url rewriting (under global config, seo settings), have no problems - clicking article links loads articles, no problem. problem being rather unsightly, unfriendly url's cause huge problem because site has gone live after converting joomla wordpress, maintaining @ least important url's between old , new site imperative, ought have seo settings enabled.

i have checked error_log, nothing. files in 'logs' folder...nothing useful there either. debug stack:-

code: select all

category not found

thanks
