    For the contact page it is a php page so change the extension in your links. http://www.lifepartnerschristianmini...contact_us.php
    As for the pdf documents what do you mean you used a selection box and go menu to upload them to your cp? You have to upload them using either the FTP manager or go into your control panel/file manager and click upload and browse for the files. Then once they are there you can link to them as you would other pages but with the .pdf extension.

    ok so fixed the php problem.. but now on the newsletter page where the form is and the drop down links to the pdf's i uploaded aren't working

    the form when you hit send says it cant find the success.html or the error.html... and i've created both.

    On the drop down the links give an error..

    the contact us page has the same problem with the send button and the error or success pages...

    any suggestions?

    You have created both success/error pages...they must be saved exactly as success and error do not add any extension to the names.
    Have you published them?

    They must be exactly like all other pages. BV software adds the html extension
    You will save as " success " (it's possible that it will default to success.bvp)
    The software will convert the file to html. and then you would link to it as success.html

    Here's a screenshot.

    And you have published them to your public_html ??
    Have you confirmed they are there by physically looking in the public_html ??

    You must have done something recently as your success page is now visible and was not a couple of minutes ago !!

    i see the double up but when i go check out the form to see it is only typed in there once... should I not type in the domain name and just leave it success.html?

    okay .. on a closer look .. you seem to be missing a few things as well..
    area for email .. name ..

    so my suggestion is you start over ..

    use the form wizard, to create a simple contact form .. remove both of these and insert fresh ... you can add a text edit comment box using the small contact form template found in the wizard as well ...
