View published sections when links not working?

How can I get to a published section when none of the section navigation is linking properly? Sorry for this very simple question but I could not find an answer.

This is the site I’m having issues with. (http://olgahow.com/bellux/) it’s set to testing and I’m not seeing the issue. I think I’ll try a work-around.

Messy links are working. Change permanent link mode to messy in preferences.

Re: View published sections when links not working?

That’s the weird thing…I have it set for messy but it’s behaving as if I don’t. I’m getting this error and maybe this is the root of the problem.

Tag error:  <txp:sitename/> ->  Textpattern Notice: tag is deprecated  on line 978

I looked up the meaning of depreciated but I’m still unsure how to fix this.

Thanks!!!

Try changing it to <txp:site_name />.

How are your section links (top and bottom of your pages) generated? Hand coded, section_list, other? Are you using a plugin that affects your links (gbp_permanent_links)?

I’m getting this error and maybe this is the root of the problem.

No, it’s not related. The error won’t be displayed when you switch to live mode, I believe you’re in testing mode right now. The tag has been renamed to site_name, but sitename is still working. Like Steve said, it’s best to change it.

Edit: you can also check (or post) the tag trace (described in this FAQ).

Re: View published sections when links not working?

I’m using plugins (ob1_title, zem_contact_lang, zem_contact_reborn) the header and footer code looks like the following.

<!-- navtop -->

<div class="navcontainer">

<ul>

<li><a href="<txp:link_to_home />" title="Back to main page">Home</a></li>

<li><a href="<txp:link_to_home />about/" title="About Us">About</a></li>

<li><a href="<txp:link_to_home />news/" title="Company News">Company News</a></li>

<li><a href="<txp:link_to_home />contact/" title="Contact Us">Contact</a></li>

</ul>

</div>

<!-- navtop -->
<!-- footer -->

<div id="footer">

<div class="footer-c">

<div class="bt-nav"><a href="<txp:link_to_home />" title="Back to main page">Home</a> | <a href="<txp:link_to_home />about" title="About">About</a> | <a href="<txp:link_to_home />contact" title="Contact">Contact</a></div>

<span class="copyright">&copy; <txp:sitename /> <a 

</div>

<!-- footer -->

Thanks!!

Re: View published sections when links not working?

Ah I see! You’ve created the clean url links yourself :) Better use this:

<txp:section link="1" name="about">About</txp:section>

or this

<txp:section link="1" title="1" name="about" />

This way the links will adapt themselves to whatever permanent link mode you’re using. You won’t be able to have the html ‘title’ attribute though…

Edit: or this

<txp:section_list sections="about,news,contact" include_default="1" default_title="Home" wraptag="ul" break="li" active_class="active" />

txp:section
txp:section_list

Edit again: if you really want the html ‘title’ attribute you can hardcode the links like this

<a href="<txp:link_to_home />index.php?s=news" title="Company news">News</a>

but then you will run into the same problems if you ever switch to clean URLs.
