Hello,
I have System – Legacy enable and would now like to disable it so I can use SEF. When I disable the System – Legacy the website is gone and I only see this message: Direct Access to this location is not allowed.

Is there any way to disable the System Legacy and still be able to view the site.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,

I dont see that why you need to disable the System – Legacy Plugin for any of the SEF purposes.

Have you tried using SH404SEF for the SEF purpose? It is probably the best to get your job done.

Many components wont work if the system plugin is not enabled!

Hi atticus,

You can turn off System Legacy, only if all of your components / modules/ plugins / templates are Joomla 1.5 Native.

To check for the compatibility, Click on Install / Uninstall and then go to Components / modules / plugins / templates tab and check the last column “Compatibility” , if you see Red X then the said item needs legacy on and if all are green ticks, then you can safely turn off Legacy.

Legacy on should not hurt your SEF… it never does.
