Question

One of the hyperlinks on my menu "cannot be found"

All the items on my menu work except for this one :notice the pages/pages in the url which doesn't appear in the urls of other menu items      https://rtr1.remembertherainforest.com/pages/pages/interfaces/indexText.html

 Click on the back button and you will see the menu. I have tried and tried to fix this...entering and re-entering the link, etc.  This is the only menu item that is not found and the only one with pages/pages in the url. The others have only /pages? in the url. What's happening ? Thanks, Carol

    With 1860 code errors and image based content, you're not winning any popularity contests.  Turn off images and what do you see?  Nothing.   That's what search engines and screen readers see, nothing.

    Maybe you should rethink this.  And rebuild responsively to fit ALL devices.

    Check the 2 links, the correct one is referencing the 'pages' folder, the incorrect link is referencing 'pages/pages'...

     

    Correct

    https://rtr1.remembertherainforest.com/pages/interfaces/indexText.html

     

    Incorrect

    https://rtr1.remembertherainforest.com/pages/pages/interfaces/indexText.html

     

    You answered the question in your initial post - why the double pages/pages in the link?

     

    Below is the structure of your menu. The first 2 links 'Expedition Index' and 'Itinerary' do not work, all the rest do (spot the difference to all the other links, which do work.).

     

    As to why the links go to the 'pages/interface' folder yet the links do not reference the 'pages/interface' folder is something you need to speak to your host about, maybe the server is just set up that way but its a highly unusual set-up.
