Navigation Bar Help

[own3dstudios]

Hello, my website is www.own3dstudios.com and recently i decided to re-do my website completely, so i deleted the files in my public.html folder in file manager. i then re-designed my website ans published it. problem is, the navigation does not work. i have deleated it and re-made it (double checking the URLS) in the program several times, as well as re-publisheing all the pages at least twice.

so whats the problem?
why wont my navigation work?

thanks,
Danny

Re: Navigation Bar Help

I noticed most of your NavBar links, link to pages that start with a capital letter. Are your pages named with a capital letter? If not, you will need to name the url exactly like the page name published.

Also the NavBar url for "Home" is to (own3dstuios.com/index.html), change to (own3dstudios.com)

Edit: Of course, include the www.

Re: Navigation Bar Help

hmm??....is own3dstudios.com your 1st domain you hosted with VodaHost? If so, be sure that you are publishing in public_html.

I don't think it matters that the other pages are capitalized as long as the pages and links match.

I didn't see anything wrong in the NavBar coding, (but then...I'm not an expert)! If I come up with any other thoughts to try; I'll get back to you here.

Re: Navigation Bar Help

Can you find your pages in File Manager? If so, click on the page and in the upper right of the screen you will see the URL for that page (you may have to scroll down in that section to see the URL). That would be what you use for your link.
When you change a page you do not have to delete it. If you keep the same page name, when you republish the new page it will overwrite the old page. If there are pages with names you do not want to keep using, I wouldn't be too quick to delete them in case there are links to them out there somewhere. I changed some page names and left the old pages but redirected them to the pages with new names. Still get a few hits on them after 3 months.

Re: Navigation Bar Help

i see them in the file manager, but they are .php files... what are those?
how exactly can you see the url?

Re: Navigation Bar Help

Apparently you published your pages in php format. Possibly you have php scripts on the pages and they would need to be in that format.
So, this is the link url to one of your pages that works;

http://www.own3dstudios.com/Projects.php

If you need your pages in php format to work; then you need to change your NavBar links to use the (.php) extension.
