SEF Disables Template

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Not sure if the issue is Template specific, Medica is what I'm using

When I enable SEF all pages except the home page loose the template.
Disable it and they all return.
Changed the .htaccess and no difference.
Any thoughts?

Any kind of SEO extension or url management installed?

Any kind of caching on the site or on the server?

Cheers

Neither Security or SEO extensions used.
Weird, it worked just fine on my local host and when I put it on the live server it went to hell in a hand basket.
Have a couple of cosmetic changes and images to upload and will see how it goes.
It's in a sub directory, that shouldn't be cause for that activity though should it?

Default .htaccess is being used

With the following settings things work with the exception of the look of the URL's

Enable Search Engine Friendly URLs
Disable Use URL Rewriting and all is well

Not sure if it was because the site was in test mode in a sub directory I have no idea.

Shifted to the root directory and it behaves perfectly .... no changes to anything.

Thanks Paul
