Pages not linking together?

[molsonzeke]

Hi. I am having trouble getting my pages to link together. My home page is www.candzvending.com I wtched the tutorials, and still cant get the site to work. Home page comes up fine, but when I click on the other pages they do not come up? I thought that I had them linked properly, am I missing something?

Thanks in advance

Hey!

If you about us page is saved as aboutus.bvp then when you link the about us link type in http://www.candzyending.com/aboutus.html and that should work if the page is published.

What ever you save your page as is the link of the page in either .html or .php if you change the setting.

Let me know..

Re: Pages not linking together?

Maybe if you post the urls for the other pages we can take a look and see what might be the problem and also tell us if you are getting and error messages...that also helps.

The other two pages are still under construction. I have not published them yet. Could that be the problem?

Thanks

Re: Pages not linking together?

No, links for published pages should still work. Are all your pages in the same place as the index.html page or have you put them in a folder of their own?

Also, have to check.. you have used _ underscores in your links... Are these also present in the actual page names? Ie. contact_us.html

and not contact us.html

Re: Pages not linking together?

No, I do have the pages with an underscore contact_us

I am really drawing a blank. I thought I had it done correctly.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Re: Pages not linking together?

Just looking at the code for you page Zeke.. The links are perfect. the problem is something to do with the pages themselves. My first guess would be that they are not uploaded/published but this is an obvious thing and I am pretty certain that you have uploaded them.

Are all the pages located in the same place on your server? Ie together with the index page?

Re: Pages not linking together?

Rob, I would hope so. I don't know how to check that. I saved each page, then hit the publish link at the top of BV. I thought that I had each page written up correct to link to one another. Still for some reason still not linking. you have been very helpful, and I thank you . Any other suggestions?

Re: Pages not linking together?

Well, if your page names are definitely the same as your links like this...

http://www.candzvending.com/contact_us.html

http://www.candzvending.com/skill_cranes.html

http://www.candzvending.com/snack_and_drink.html

.. The pages names must be exactly the same as they are detailed in each link. Then it should be ok. My problem is that I dont use the BlueVoda software so I am not certain on how to advice you when it comes to checking that thepages do exist on your server.

One way to check for sure would be to....

1) Go into your Control Panel,

2) Click the button marked File Manager,

3) Click the little yellow folder marked Public_HTML

4) Have a look at the list of files there just in order to make sure that all the pages are present.

Re: Pages not linking together?

Did as you said. when I clicked on each one it popped up on my screen. But for some reason still not linking. I have no clue. This is getting very frustrating...Rob, thanks for all the help so far...anything else you can think of? I 'm sure its something that is right in front of me, but I just can't see it????

You have to home pages: http://www.candzvending.com/ and http://www.candzvending.com/index.html

Your home page should be saved as index check the links on the first.

Re: Pages not linking together?

Ok this is something new for me Bill as I dont use the BV software.

The first link in your post above doesnt seem to work for me but also, blahblahblah.com surely isnt a home page? Its just a URL that goes to index.html by default?

Re: Pages not linking together?

I must be a moron, I just don't get it? Two pages? I saved my home page like they suggested in BV with "index" I'm not sure what you mean by the first page. Now its not even coming up???ARRRRGGGHH

Re: Pages not linking together?

The first link is http://www.candzvending.com/

Check how you linked your pages and how you saved them, sometimes a typo is easy to overlook.
