ooo ooo oo
ok found it... i think
both pages i'm having trouble with have forms on them... so they were saved as .php in my control panel.
do i need to do somthing because of that?

Re: page errors after publishing

For the contact page it is a php page so change the extension in your links. http://www.lifepartnerschristianmini...contact_us.php
As for the pdf documents what do you mean you used a selection box and go menu to upload them to your cp? You have to upload them using either the FTP manager or go into your control panel/file manager and click upload and browse for the files. Then once they are there you can link to them as you would other pages but with the .pdf extension.

Re: page errors after publishing

ok so fixed the php problem.. but now on the newsletter page where the form is and the drop down links to the pdf's i uploaded aren't working

the form when you hit send says it cant find the success.html or the error.html... and i've created both.

On the drop down the links give an error..

the contact us page has the same problem with the send button and the error or success pages...

any suggestions?

Re: page errors after publishing

You have created both success/error pages...they must be saved exactly as success and error do not add any extension to the names.
Have you published them?

[Sperry73lp]

Re: page errors after publishing

so they shouldn't be success.html or error.html?
yes i've published each page...

[CarbonTerry]

Re: publishing assistance

They must be exactly like all other pages. BV software adds the html extension
You will save as " success " (it's possible that it will default to success.bvp)
The software will convert the file to html. and then you would link to it as success.html

Here's a screenshot.

Re: publishing assistance

yep thats what i've done... thats why i'm confused

[CarbonTerry]

Re: publishing assistance

And you have published them to your public_html ??
Have you confirmed they are there by physically looking in the public_html ??

[CarbonTerry]

Re: publishing assistance

You must have done something recently as your success page is now visible and was not a couple of minutes ago !!
