Links on page are not working!

Hi esam510,
Can you please proved another link, the link above does not take me to the page so I am unable to view the links.

sorry

https://www.skatejawn.com/homies

Thanks esame! So what is happening is that your link is putting your url in front of the link url:

https://www.skatejawn.com/homies/www.njskateshop.com

In the editor, select the link, open the insert/edit link icon and remove the following:

www.skatejawn.com/homies/

Your links will work.

Hope that helps.

That’s the thing though. I’ve been trying to fix it through the insert/edit link icon and none of the links have https://www.skatejawn.com/homies in front of it. All of them are just the regular url but none of them work. Any other ideas?

Esam,

in your HREF attribute, try adding a https:// before the URL.

Change this:
<a href="www.njskateshop.com" target="_blank">www.njskateshop.com</a>

to
<a href="https://www.njskateshop.com" target="_blank">www.njskateshop.com</a>

Note the new href attribute and the https:// preceding the external site URL.

You must indicate a https:// to dictate that the URL is on an external site, and not residing on your current site. Without the https:// your site thinks those are pages that live on your site and treat it as such.

That will work. I just tested it out on your site.

If you want to link to internal pages ( pages or posts that reside on your current site ) you can do so by just adding the base url of the page or post you are trying to get too. For example href="/new-post/"
will direct the user to the post or page title with the URL yoursite.com/new-post/.

Hope that helps and explains a bit about external vs internal linking.

all of them are currently like this:

<p class=”p1″>https://www.njskateshop.com</p>

Please remember to use backticks to surround your code, otherwise the forum’s parser will corrupt it!

I’m staring directly at your links, and I can assure you they do not have an https:// before them.

Screenshot here

wait not that’s not how they are it edited my full text:

<p class=”p1″><a href=”njskateshop.com”

target=”_blank”>www.njskateshop.com</p>

yea I don’t know why it posted that. I copy pasted from the text section in the page editor and it changed it for some reason

it still did it!!! Ok before the njskateshop.com theres www.

Please re-read my post above explaining exactly what you need to do. The answer is up there.

Evan

the first one that is between the href=” and njskateshop.com”

The first what? Did you read my post? I’ve been talking about adding an HTTP:// BEFORE the www.

Got it. It worked. I appreciate it!
