Bob,

that is because of the selected Url-Provider (which might be a left-over from an old installation and some upgrades). You find this in the web.config file. The urlFormat attribute should be "advanced":

{friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl"}
   {providers}
      {clear /}
      {add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlFormat="advanced" /}
   {/providers}
{/friendlyUrl}

Replace { by < and } by >

Happy DNNing!
Michael

Michael when i use the Configuration Manager to review it is already set to the following, could it be something else overriding

 add name="DNNFriendlyUrl" type="DotNetNuke.Services.Url.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, DotNetNuke.HttpModules" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlFormat="advanced" />

 
     
       
       
     
   

I looked at some other pages on the site, and it appears that this happens only for the home page.

If you visit temeculacreekmensgolfclub.com, you get a redirect to the page with the other stuff.

So, I'd start by looking at settings for the home page, particularly anything related to redirects, SEO, or URLs.

You might want to look at how this page loads using something like Fiddler for more clues.

thanks for the help found the issue it was being caused by a 3rd party extension only the pages with their module was i getting the strange url

That's exactly what I was getting at, and I failed to mention modules. So, I'm glad that you figured it out.

I recommend that you get with the module developer and encourage them to create friendly URL rewriters for their module. It's not a difficult thing to do. And, if they won't, you (depending on your skill set) probably could cook on up. There is a URL rewriter for the Ventrian News Articles module.

Joe thank you ever so much for all that information
