# Permalink Error

 * The shortcode [permalink] generates an URL containing an error leading to a “
   Page cannot be found” message when clicked.
 * The error is that the URL is HTTP//….. instead of [http://&#8230](http://&#8230);.
 * The URL text is correct, but the actual link contains the above error.
 * How can I fix this please?
 * Thank you

 * Hi [@timbudong](https://wordpress.org/support/users/timbudong/),
    Thanks for 
   your message.
 * I seem to remember someone reporting this before but it turned out to be a redirect
   or htaccess issue on their site. Are you able to investigate this?
 * The permalink shortcode output is very simple so shouldn’t be changing anything.
 * Let me know how you get on.
 * Thanks,
    Jack

 * I honestly know very little about either htaccess or redirect. Would not know
   where to look..

 * Hi Jack,
 * I solved the issue. Somehow, the URL link was [http://[permalink]](http://[permalink]),
   translating in a http// error.
 * Many thanks!
