  • Hi @ndrambareanu,
    check the href value for your links. I believe there are double-quotes in the value that should not be there. check also for typos in the URLs for the files. %22 is the double-quote character.

    @alichani, the website url also gets duplicated at the beginning of each link. do you know why that would happen?

    @ndrambareanu,
    actually it’s not. Here is the href for a link from the “Council Meeting” page.

    href='\"https://www.cityofvenus.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/City-Council-Agenda-11-13-2017.pdf\"'

    The browser thinking it’s a relative address adds the site URL in front. It looks like someone/something is trying to escape the quotes before writing the href. How are the links generated?

    @ndrambareanu,
    how is this code generated? Is it manually entered? Is some plugin used to generate each page’s content? If it’s manually entered is that done in the “visual” or the “text” editor?

    Ohh my bad, read it wrong.

    It is manually entered and it is entered in the text editor

    @ndrambareanu,
    I see some pages that have correct links and some that have “duplicated” links.

    Is there any difference in how the text is entered in these pages?

    If you can install plugins, I suggest that you install Health Check. It will allow you to disable all plugins at once and set the theme to one of the default WordPress themes. This is only for you; all visitors see the normal site.
    You can then enable the plugins one by one from its admin bar menu to see when the problem reoccurs.
    Also try editing/updating a problematic page since the mistake may be happening when the text is saved in the database.
