    I am making a website for a nonprofit but all of the buttons just bring you to a 404 error because the links are just getting added on instead of getting replaced.

    Hi, Do you have an example?

    In general for the URL field, when linking to your own domain / site it’s best to use relative ( like /example-page/ , notice the slashes ) . For linking externally you need to include https:// with the full domain . Perhaps this is the issue?

    I have already tried both of those things, but whenever a button is clicked on, then a link is just added to the existing URL instead of replacing it. I’ll put a screenshot below. EDIT: I can’t put it in for some reason. The website is trek-outdoors.org

    All of your menu links look like this:

    ‘trek-outdoors.org/our-team/’

    This will make all of them relative since it’s missing the https part.

    It either must be : ‘https://trek-outdoors.org/our-team/’ or ‘/our-team/’ to work as intended.

    I tried doing that but it didn’t work. Not really sure what’s going on. Am I supposed to put those numbers at the end?

    No, you need to start the URL with https:// as indicated if the domain name is part of the link.

    I already tried that and it didn’t work. The buttons are just adding on the links instead of replacing them. I wish I could show you a screen shot but it won’t let me upload one. I’m stumped and really need to get this fixed.

    If you want to share screenshot, you can also upload it somewhere and just link it here.

    I figured it out! Thank you so much for the help. It turned out that the edited links did not update the buttons already in the website. LOL

    Not entirely sure what this means :

    • Urls in the button itself will update when changed
    • When using shortcode for the URL ( [maxbutton id=x url=’https://’%5D will not update when changing the main button URL.

    Happy though you managed to fix it!
