    99% of the time this is a caching issue. make sure to clear your cache.

    Thanks

    John, that was the first thing I tried… but nothing. I’m sorry to bother for such a silly problem. Can it be that I need to assign a different static page in WP admin panel?

    sorry but this issue is not resolved… it’s not a cache problem, because it works in the preview, but not in the live website.

    this is always a caching problem. What’s the url?

    if it works for you I guess it’s a cache and browser issue… though that screenshot is the main page, whereas is the link to the other page that is not working

    1) if I’m logged in as admin, the link from the comingsoon page to another is working. If I’m not logged in, the link is not working
    2) if the link is to the actual theme’s homepage (like I want) it doesn’t work, logged in or logged out

    Your host is running a varnish cache, more than likely the issue. Turn it off while in development.

    ok, my ISP cannot turn off the varnish cache because I’m on a shared server. Anyway, that was going to solve the problem during development, not for the rest of the time. Do you have another suggestion?

    sorry I don’t have any other advice. varnish serves up a static copy of a page. Anything you do dynamically will be an issue then unless varnish knows about it.

    According this other post it would be useful to install WP-super-cache. It doesn’t do any improvement to my problem.
    I strongly believe this is not a cache problem, because links from comingsoon to any page does work. It’s just link to my site’s homepage that doesn’t (not even using the slug). On the other hand there’s nothing strange about the theme, it’s a solid theme and this is just a normal page.
    I don’t get it why it works in the preview and not once I logged off.

    Please don’t abandon me on this, it’s the last bit of my client’s site and I need it to work.

    I see the coming soon page on every page
    I’m not sure what else to tell you. I’m not sure why you don’t see it?

    The problem is the logo link inside the comingsoon page. Apparently I have the same problem as this guy, but I don’t understand why you are suggesting the pro-version for a simple link issue like this one
