Search Engine Optimization (Joomla! SEO) in Joomla! 5.x • SEF URLs working except for article links

Hi,

I am getting nice URLS that look like this:
example.com/menucategory/menuitem

however any article links look like this:
example.com/menucategory/menuitem?view=article&id=378:name-of-article&catid=42

- Joomla 5.1.1
- Global Configuration / Site / SEF URLs = enabled and URL rewriting = enabled
- Global Configuration / Articles / Integration / Routing : Remove IDs from URLs = enabled

This site was upgraded from 3.10 where the links used to look like:

example.com/26-announcements/107-name-of-article

which is cleaner than what I'm getting now.
I have another site that is a fresh install of J5.1.1 and I'm getting the same thing, so it's not due to the migration from 3 to 4 to 5.

ideally I want no id's in there like this:
example.com/announcements/name-of-article

Am I missing something? I can't work out how to achieve this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Thanks

PS. I'm aware that if I create a menu item linked to each article then it will use the menu alias for it, but I'm looking for a solution for article links specifically.
