Re: Anne Kent

Double-click the navigation unit and enter the url for each button.

Re: Anne Kent

sorry to be stupid but is the navigation unit the buttons? Also do I just republish the whole site when I have done this. I'm not sure how to access the site once I have published. I have given the url for each button now but not sure what to do next. help much appreciated.

Re: Anne Kent

Yes the unit is the whole 'thing' where the buttons are. If you have allocated a url to each button, just re-publish the page. It will overwrite the previous page.

Not sure what you mean by 'access the site'?

Re: Anne Kent

I have names the url.and still no luck.
for instance my gallery page:-
www.artinwax.com/gallery.html is this correct? All I get on the site is
Address is not valid.
That happens with my other pages as well and yet the home page is there.

Re: Anne Kent

Ann, If you added your URLs to the button links, did you then publish the page again?
The page I see at http://www.artinwax.com/ does not have the buttons linked. The Home button is linked but is linked to http://www.artinwax.com/home.html
and the 'home' page must be named 'index'

Re: Anne Kent

I have renamed each list for each page index for my home page
www.artinwax.com/index.html and checked all the url's are there for all the pages. I tried publishing but have not had any luck. I just don't know what I am doing wrong...getting discouraged!

Re: Anne Kent

Don't get discouraged.
I believe you have named your Gallery page "Gallery" instead of "gallery".
Rename the page with all lower case letters and then publish it.
Then check it
This is the same as your Cards page, and your Prices page is named "Price List" -
You must name pages with lower case letters with no spaces between words. If you choose to use spaces the words must be joined together with the use of the _underscore symbol
And your 'index; page still shows no links corrected.

Re: Anne Kent

Don't panic!
Let's go back to the beginning:
Double-click the unit with the buttons.
You will see a pop-up called Navigational Buttons.
Listed in the box will be the details of each button, with the headings 'Name' and 'URL'
Is there anything under the 'URL' heading for each page?
If not, highlight a page name and click on Edit.
You will see another pop-up called Edit Button.
The fourth box down is where you enter your URL.
Type in the url of the correct page in this format:

http://www.yourdomain.com/pagename.html

Click OK
Do the same for the other buttons.
Publish the page again.

Re: Anne Kent

I am grateful for the help but I have done everything you have both suggested. No more caps and all URL's in place. still no pages other than Home page on the website. Would I be better trying the text links instead of the buttons?

Re: Anne Kent

That's better, we can see the links to the pages now.
OK, so the links don't work. Have you actually published each individual page?

[jcaywood]

Re: Anne Kent

Your links on your index page now show:

http://www.artinwax.com/index.html

http://www.artinwax.com/gallery.html

http://www.artinwax.com/cards.html

http://www.artinwax.com/prices (no '.html')
http://www.artinwax.com/contact%20us.html (%20=space)

If you saved and published these pages, I cannot find them. I can get the "Gallery" page to show but no 'gallery' page.
I'll defer to someone more knowledgeable than me.

Re: Anne Kent

Yes i have published each page and now get "URL cannot be found" on some pages and on some "webpage cannot be found."
Is there any way you can access my site and see what I am doing wrong? I just cannot see what to do and I have spent such a long time getting it all ready.

Re: Anne Kent

Don't worry about this Anne we will get it sorted.
Can you post exactly what the name of your BVP file is for your gallery page please?
