Even if you have Search Engine Friendly Urls turned on for your Joomla site, not all of your articles may have SEF urls. This video shows you a way to ensure all your Joomla articles have SEF urls - not just some.

• The video discusses how to enable search engine friendly URLs for Joomla articles.
  - The speaker recommends using mysites.guru for a free site audit for Joomla sites.
  - The speaker introduces themselves as Tim Davis, a Joomla fan.
  - They mention that the video is part of "Maintenance Monday" on the "Basic Joomla Tutorials" YouTube channel.
  - The video focuses on fixing an issue where an article's URL is not search engine friendly.
  - The problem arises when an article is assigned to a category that lacks a menu item pointing to it.
  - The solution involves creating a new menu called "junk drawer" and adding a menu item for the "uncategorized" category using the "category blog" type.
  - By doing this, the articles under the "uncategorized" category will have search engine friendly URLs.
  - The speaker demonstrates how the new menu item generates an SEF URL for the "dogs are great" article.
  - They emphasize the importance of ensuring all articles have SEF URLs by placing them under menu items.
  - The speaker also points out that subcategories will inherit the SEF URLs from their parent categories.
  - They suggest using a Joomla extension called "Regular Labs" for handling SEF URLs.
