RH10: Links in Master Page Not Showing in Published Version

This started after I deleted my output files to fix a search error (the ol' failed to initialize database error). I created my outputs again, and now I can't get the hyperlinks in the master page to appear in the published version. This appears in the working version on my hard drive, and the uploaded version (where I discovered the issue) on SharePoint. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Where are these links in the master page?

Are you aware that links in the body of a master page will appear when you create a topic linked to the master page but later changes do not reflect in the topics? Is it possible that in the changes you made fixing the initialise database problem, you did something where this would impact?

Any build expression being used?

How long is the path to the local version?

Peter, I appreciate you weighing in, as always.

  • The links are in the header, upper right.
  • Yes, I am almost certain my deleting and recreating the output folders is the cause as the issue appeared after doing so. Every topic seems linked to the master page as they all appear correctly, with the hyperlinks the sole exception. I'll go through each one's properties to be sure. What else do you recommend I check? I opened the .htt with NotePad and saw nothing suspect: all href tags pointing to directories and files that exist.
  • The only build expression in use is to ignore topics and content with a BLOCK tag. At the moment the only thing blocked is a few items from a bulleted list within the body of a topic.
  • Path to local version is C:\Users\jdavis\Documents\My RoboHelp Projects\XXX_Operations_and_Maintenance_Guides.

Thank you!
