# Home Link Doesn’t Work

 * All my other page links work properly, but my home link doesn’t have a backslash
   after it and break. Is this hard coded somewhere? The only time this happens 
   is when it is autogenerated. I can change it most places except in the page listing.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 * That missing backslash really shouldn’t break the link.
 * 1) Try resetting permalinks.
    2) Disable all of your plugins. 3) What does your.
   htaccess file look like? 4) What code is generating the page links? 5) You are
   getting **301** errors. How are you trying to deal with the permanent redirect?

 * 3) <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /web/ RewriteCond %{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /web/[
   L] </IfModule>
 * of course now i’ve done something where i’ve broken the entire thing…i tried 
   resetting rewritebase and rewriterule to just /web/…but that’s not helping either.
 * 4) <?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&title_li=’); ?>
    5) Javascript: <script language
   =”javascript”><!– location.replace(“web/index.php”) //–> </script>

 * I believe that rewrite rule ought to read `RewriteRule . /web/index.php [L]` (
   maybe removing that index.php is what you alluded to trying?). However, WP will
   create this file for you and it might be interesting to see what you get if it
   does. Rename your existing `.htaccess` to `.htaccess_old` and then reset the 
   permalinks. WP will write the file for you or complain that it doesn’t have the
   permissions to write the file and print out the rewrite rules so that you can
   do it manually. Either way, it will confirm the appropriate rewrite rules.
 * Did you disable plugins? There are a couple of filters in wp_list_pages that 
   a plugin could hook into. Maybe one of them is causing the problem. Maybe not.
   It would be nice to eliminate the possibility.
 * For now, I’d say comment out that javascript redirect. Its going to make things
   more difficult to debug. I’m not sure I’d use javascript for the purpose anyway
   but that’s another story.
