Footer links not working

Hi All,

I can't figure out why the links in the footer are not working. Here's the URL ... http://www.totalprotectgold.com.

The links are in a chunk {{footer}} and they look just like the links in the {{header}} chunk.

I have made a copy of the home page, to make some changes to the site ... http://www.totalprotectgold.org/index.php?id=29 ... and the footer links work there! What's going on?

Thanks.

Dan

and the footer links work there

They're not working for me there - same as on the live pages. Are you looking at a copy on the server, or on a PC? Most likely reason for the failure is case-sensitivity, if you are writing them into the footer. Check the href part of your links against the aliases in the resources with that in mind. Or let MODX make your links for you with the standard [ ~id ~ ] tags.

KP52, Thanks but ...

They were working on http://www.totalprotectgold.org/index.php?id=29 when I posted this.

I checked and double checked the HREF, and even tried it with the [~id~] tags it still wont work. Do you think it could be a database problem, maybe repair the database might work?

I don't have access to the cpanel, but I could ask the client to try it.

What does your footer chunk look like?

Okay. Here's some more info ...

When the links are clicked it changes the URL suffix to ".org", ".net", etc.

The client owns several variations and redirects them to the ".com".

Does this help?

Any idea why the Header Nav links change to ".org", ".net" etc? They go to the right pages but wrong domain (extension).

Here's that chunk ...

<ul>
<li><a href="Home" title="Home" class="first">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="Warranty" title="warranty" class="second">warranty</a></li>
<li><a href="Maintenance" title="maintenance" class="third">maintenance</a></li>
<li><a href="Features-and-Benefits" title="features & benefits" class="fourth">features & benefits</a></li>
<li><a href="Place-a-Claim" title="place a claim" class="fifth">place a claim</a></li>
<li><a class='last' href="Form-Pop-up" title="contact us">contact us</a></li>
</ul>
