Rewrote AceSEF urls and caused error
Hi there, I am running Joomla 2.5
I installed AceSEF, and everything was fine. Then I went in and edited the URLs, expected that AceSEF will map the old links to the new URL - but that didn't work. Now my back-end AceSEF URL page is a jumble of wrong URLs, the sitelinks are all broken - and I don't know how to go back.
When I disable AceSEF, Joomla's SEF URLs still don't work as before - 404 errors or directing to the wrong page.
Please help.

Okay, I found Restore/Migrate. But if I backup URLs now, it will backup the broken ones, yes?
- is that useful?

Yes.It will backup broken one.
I would suggest you to create copy site somewhere or on test domain.and then try to regenerate all urls.

I have created a copy. Can you tell me how to purge and regenerate?
In Main Control Panel(ACE SEF) their is option to purge update.Also please clear cache before purging or updating.

The Generate URLs icon is not working. Is there some other method to regenerate all URLs?
