    I'm working on a site using multiple contexts for subdomains. I have Wayfinder installed and everything was working after a little bit of a rough patch a couple months ago, which I solved with help from OpenGeek on this board.
    (see earlier thread https://forums.modx.com/thread/69877/wayfinder-context-question )

    Now, suddenly the navigation is not working in the subdomains again. I'm not sure what I've done, but now, when looking at the site on the subdomains, no urls are rendering even though the rest of the navigation is being built.

    I've tried it with friendly urls off, and it works correctly.

    I downgraded from Wayfinder 2.3.3 back to 2.3.1 (because that's the version I was using when it worked) but that hasn't helped.

    If it would help to look at the site, I can send that in a private message or email.

    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Lee

      I've figured out a workaround, but any help getting it done right would still be welcome.
      I'll gladly provide more info, if necessary.

        I have solved the problem on my own… thought I'd share the solution with the group.
        First, I upgraded to the latest version of Revo (2.1.5) and Wayfinder (2.3.3)
        That didn't fix this entirely, but some of my Wayfinder menus started to work some of the time… and that gave me hope.

        Here's what finally worked.
        In the context for each subdomain, I created a setting for friendly_urls with the intention of using ugly urls in the subdomains only. I set friendly_urls in each subdomain to NO.
        Instead of overriding the friendly_urls setting of the main context (which I expected) the subdomain just got out of the way and let the web context FURLs do their job

        my friendly url settings
