This is what the URL looks like after someone clicks an item from Category View:
http://domainname.com/2012-10-11-23-09-41/pistachios-3/chili-lemon-pistachios-detail.html
How can I get rid fo the 2012-10-11-23-09-41? Obviously SEF is enabled, but I can't find out where to remove this info.
joomla will ONLY allow 1 alias with the same name.
When 2 aliases have the same name, joomla will add a date to it
Look through your menu items, and also your categories, and see if you have 2 the same.
ALSO: try changing the alias, and saving. See what happens
Okay, none of my VM categories have duplicate alias' (I wound up changing some).
As for alias' in my menu items, I made sure they all had different names, and yet, the URL still has that odd date when hovering over a menu item (that is the same name, but not the same alias).

then you should be able to change the alias right?
I have two menu items (via Menu Manager) that are the of the same Menu Title & alias:
Main Menu:
Title: Pistachios
Alias: pistachios
link: http://domainname.com/2012-10-11-23-09-41/pistachios-3/chili-lemon-pistachios-detail.html
Products Menu:
Title: Pistachios
Alias: pistachios
link: http://domainname.com/folder/pistachios.html
When these links go to the Category Layout of VM products, the VM Products links look like this:http://domainname.com/2012-10-11-23-09-41/pistachios-3/chili-lemon-pistachios-detail.html
I've already changed the alias' in the menu items only to be stuck with the same http://domainname.com/2012-10-11-23-09-41/pistachios-3/chili-lemon-pistachios-detail.html link for the Main Menu items.
I understand that if I copy a menu item into a different menu group that J2.5 renames the alias', but I don't understand why the 'date/time' for alias' that are NOT the same
As for the categories, there are no duplicates.
