Unlinked tabs – please read

    Hi all,

    I have recently had a site made by a friend. On the homepage of the site there are several yellow and red tabs that can be clicked to access another page. When I add a page within wordpress some of them link, wheras others do not.

    it is better to get an understanding by viewing my site: http://www.sportscool.co.uk

    i.e. I have created a page called “parents”. When I click on the parents box (the red box top left) it links through.

    However this is not the case for all. i.e I have created a page called primary schools and when you click on the primary schools box (red box top right) it DOSNT link and says error 404. I believe it may have something to do with the url in the address bar.It appears that the ones that dont link have .html on the end?

    Hope this makes sense.

    Any suggestions and advice would be a great help.

    Thanks

    Carl

    I’ve just tried that link and went straight to the Primary Schools page (although there wasn’t any content there yet). So I don’t see where the problem is. Remember to press CTRL and F5 simultaneously when viewing an updated page/site. Or try emptying your browser cache. This should ensure that your web browser fetches a fresh copy of the page rather than serving up an out-dated copy from your own cache.

    Your friend hard-coded the .html links in there, so have him/her change them.

    <a href="primary_schools.html"

    Your friend also accidentally introduced code-killing fancy quotes into your theme’s code by using the wrong kind of text editor or improper copy/pasting.

    Bad:
    “
    ”

    Good:
    "

    Thanks for your quick response iridiax

    Will this be a big job or will it take minutes?

    If you have already created the WordPress pages for your friend to use as links, it should take minutes. As for the fancy quotes, a quick search and replace in a text editor should get rid of them.
