Strange Behaviour….
Hi all,
I logged-on today to find the link to the blog had broken. From the home page navigation bar, the ‘FrImp Blog’ link was pointing to http://www.frimp.co.uk/blog/ as it should have done. But the page being returned was http://www.frimp.co.uk/frimp.co.uk/blog/ which does not exist. What was going on?
I first checked the blog settings and they were all correct. So then I downloaded the main page template and it seemed all correct. So, after scratching my head for a while, and rechecking and rechecking, I changed the reference of the main link to a relative reference, ie the link now pointed to href=”/blog/”. After reloading and refreshing the page, then clearing my cache, the link STILL pointed to the original wrong address! What was going on?
I changed the link back again to the hard coded link (the full address) and moved the href to the front of the tag. Suddenly, the link started working. Now what was that all about.
<a href=”http://www.frimp.co.uk” title=”Frimp Blog”>Frimp Blog</a> should be identical to
<a title=”Frimp Blog” href=”http://www.frimp.co.uk” >Frimp Blog</a>.
Everywhere else on the page the links are in the first format. So why did the blog link show weird behaviour? I have no idea……..
I believe it is fixed now, although after an hour on this, I have no idea what was wrong, nor what fixed it, but it is fixed now - finally!
Paul.
