relative url paths seem to be redirecting to home page

just wondering if anybody else had the same issue. some of the links on my website are absolute path which work fine, and those links that are relative paths seem to be redirecting to the homepage as though it cant find the file. im not too sure if its a modx setting or a setting in the .htaccess file that needs to be added/changed. any advice would be greatfully appreciated.

relative code is say for example [[~5]] which would give i.e contact-us.html

absolute would be [[++site_url]][[~5]] which would give http://domain.com/contact-us.html

could it be a setting in the context?

Do you have the base meta tag in the template head?


And actually, that's a full URL. Absolute is just to the web root (base_url), like /contact-us.html

hi

yes I do have the base href included in the header of the website

Any update on this issue as I am experiencing the same problem.

Do you have multiple front-end contexts?

FYI, the default value for the error_page (page-not-found) System Setting is the home page of the site (i.e., the same as the site_start System Setting).

Anytime a page isn't found, you'll end up there. It's not because you're going there directly there based on the URL. It's because no page was found with the URL so MODX is forwarding you to the page-not-found page.
