Support » Themes and Templates » Links don’t work on Template

  • Here’s my page: http://www.crawlmag.com/wordpress/

    Now, click on ‘Customer Service’ and on that page all of the links quit working, sidebar, right column and footer. That is a custom Page Template I made to mimic the rest of the site but to allow html/php code to be ran in the main body (the form)… everything else besides the main body (white area) is the same code as the default template, why do my links not work? Is it some global variable thing?

  • Work for me with IE 6.0.2900.2180. It took a few seconds but I was able to move around your blog without issue.

    You have some minor coding issues that you may need to work out though.

    So you can click on the left sidebar links here and navigate? http://www.crawlmag.com/wordpress/?page_id=38

    I am on a Mac, OSX Tiger, Firefox. It works on all pages but that one.

    Mike one issues are you refering to? That link doesn’t go anywhere

    Drmike’s link fixed. 🙂

    Sorry about that. Was listening to something.

    I was able to click on that link and then go elsewhere out of it.

    When I think about Gwen Stefani and Madonna in a video it isn’t that one 😛

    Can anyone else click on my sidebar links and exit that page? I have tried in Firefox and Safari on this [$7000] Mac, and on a Dell Laptop in IE [worthless] and I cannot click those links… am I IP blocked from a href tags? 🙂

    Also that W3 link still doesn’t work for me – went to the site, holy hell that is a terrible site design for the people who run the internet

    anyone?

    do the green links on the left side work for you?
    http://www.crawlmag.com/wordpress/?page_id=38

    if so what browser / OS etc? are you using?

    If that w3 link isn’t working for you, I’m thinking something’s up on your end.

    The 38 link for me works fine. I’m able to travel around your blog without issue using the IE6 I listed up above on WinXP (whatever they call teh advanced edition)

    That makes no sense because I have IE 6 on my Dell and it doesn’t work… now I have 5 people telling me it doesn;t work on their end, how weird. It is a custom template, what could cause that?

    I can go to W3 but that link don’t work, it is a 404, i wonder if it is because you initiated it as a script?

    Links work fine in IE7, Opera 9.2 and Firefox (all XP) and Swiftfox (linux). Layout is horribly borked in IE7, for what that’s worth.

    Links don’t work for me with FF.

    “Layout is horribly borked in IE7, for what that’s worth.”

    all of the pages? are they still or was it while I was changing something?

    it should look like this: http://www.timbercrawler.com/tim/screen.png

    anyone have an idea why they would work for some people and not others?

    Yeah, i went thru and validated my site, closed all the tags i could find, any ideas here? F&%$ Microsoft (and I live in Seattle)

    Alright guys… my site validated just fine, fixed all the errors that it found and went through and really cleaned up my code. I figured I’d find the root cause of my original problem but I cannot. Here it is:

    http://www.crawlmag.com/wordpress/?page_id=38

    That is a Page and it uses a custom Template. The Template is an exact copy of my main Template (which works fine) except that the Main Page section is changed; I added the blue links and an HTML form. Those, ironically, work fine. The form works great.

    I cannot click on the links on the left sidebar in green; as well as the links in my footer; anything that is included() – but the main body links (change of address etc) work fine. To me the others are just static text and not hyper-linked. I tried the page in Mac Safari and Mac FireFox, as well as Windows Firefox and IE6 and IE7 and cannot click the links. Several people report that they can indeed click on the links, is there any browser specific problem you can see with my code that would cause this? Thinking caps time!

    I used hyperlinks in the Sidebar instead of the get_pages because I have more control over them. Would this affect things?

    <div class="subnav1">
      <?php if ( !function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')
            || !dynamic_sidebar(1) ) : ?>
    
      <?php if (function_exists('wp_theme_switcher')) { ?>
    
      <h1>Themes</h1>
      <?php wp_theme_switcher('dropdown'); ?>

    Because the footer doesn’t work either, I am thinking it is higher up the food chain, like in one of the Page Template Pages? But I am at a loss, help!?!?
