URL issue with Joomla exetension

I have installed the joomla extension plugin for spreadshop in 3 websites. When you click on the menu item it defaults to /shop.html#!/ (it adds a #! to each url) I searched your forum and there is a thread that says you have to do a redirect in htaccess file to get rid of this. That of course is a hack and not a desirable workaround. It also does not work. I have my team trying to tweak this for my 3 websites. Please advise if this issue will be fixed in the next update to the joomla plugin. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
