Hi sgagner,
I had the same problem and followed these steps from sh404SEF's forum:
1 - Make sure your site is offline.
2 - On line 20 in your public_html/configuration.php file, set var $live_site = '
http://www.yoursite.com';
3 - Purge your urls in sh404SEF
4 - In sh404SEF Control Panel, click "Configuration" tab, click sh404SEF Configuration icon, click "Very adv." tab and change this from:
// if not 0, urls for pdf documents and rss feeds will be only partially turned into sef urls.
//The query string &format=pdf or &format=feed will be still be appended.
// This will protect against malfunctions when using some plugins which makes a call
// to JFactory::getDocument() from a onAfterInitiliaze handler
// At this time, SEF urls are not decoded and thus the document type is set to html instead of pdf or feed
// resulting in the home page being displayed instead of the correct document
$shDefaultParams['sh404SEF_PROTECT_AGAINST_DOCUMENT_TYPE_ERROR'] =
0;
to:
// if not 0, urls for pdf documents and rss feeds will be only partially turned into sef urls.
//The query string &format=pdf or &format=feed will be still be appended.
// This will protect against malfunctions when using some plugins which makes a call
// to JFactory::getDocument() from a onAfterInitiliaze handler
// At this time, SEF urls are not decoded and thus the document type is set to html instead of pdf or feed
// resulting in the home page being displayed instead of the correct document
$shDefaultParams['sh404SEF_PROTECT_AGAINST_DOCUMENT_TYPE_ERROR'] =
1;
5 - Clean your cache in Joomla.
This worked for me, good luck!
