Re: linking to other created pages

Well... what is your contact page called????

[ashleywood.ash]

Re: linking to other created pages

contact us

[Marincky]

Re: linking to other created pages

As I thought!.... rename your page WITHOUT a space.

e.g.

contact
contactus
contact_us
enquiries

Republish the page

Change your link accordingly.

Remove the old 'contact us' page off the server

Re: linking to other created pages

:) i had just started doing that as i cottoned on to where you were going, cheers for that, silly me :)

still not working

i have changed the name to contactus changed all of the links accordingly, its all in lower case and still no luck?
doing this also makes my link box as conactus rather than contact us.

Re: linking to other created pages

have you published the page as 'contactus'?

If you have, send me the url of your site that has a link to your contact page please.

Re: linking to other created pages

Have you published 'contactus' ?

I dont think you have.

You also have the link to your contact page on your site home page still as contact_us

which one is it?

Re: linking to other created pages

Ashwood, you cannot have a space in any web page. Your link looks for a page named "aboutus" but your page is actually named "about us." The web automatically puts a symbol in the space, so your page ends up looking like this: http://www.amarokkleekai.co.uk/about%20us.html

That %20 symbol will confuse the situation big time, so republish your page (and any other) with NO spaces. You can use underscores if you like: "about_us."

Re: linking to other created pages

yeah i have done that, it is the about us link i am working on not contact us.
i have hyperlinked it to the to http://www.amarokkleekai.co.uk/home.html

Re: linking to other created pages

hmmm... I think we need to start from the beginning here...

You cannot name your homepage 'home' it must be 'index'

You currently have TWO home pages

Re: linking to other created pages

ok i have named it index now, i do i get rid of pages i have published. as i have published the same pages numerous times

Personally, from what I see so far, I am very concerned that your server is in a bit of a mess (more than likely).

I would remove every page off your server and start again.
