[solved] The mysterious non-working section link

I just updated wion.com to 4.8.3. Everything seemingly fine, except, if you go there to the home page, the Notes link does not work. But it works as it should on local, and all I did was upload the new install, import the DB, and correct the paths in preferences. That’s it.

Any clues about how that Notes link doesn’t work? Not exactly a fair question, I know, but I’m stumped. (The About link is setup exactly the same way and works fine.)

Re: [solved] The mysterious non-working section link

From what I see in the source code, both the ‘‘about” and notes link belong to the same section, notes. Are they both individual articles allocated to that section? Is any one of them sticky?

This is what I see in the page source:

. . .
<dl class="menu-item"> <dt>
  <a href="/notes">Notes</a>
</dt> <dd>Short-form.</dd> </dl> 
. . .
<dl class="menu-item"> <dt>
  <a href="/about">About</a>
</dt> <dd>The editor.</dd> </dl>

Are you referring to something else?

Site’s in debug mode, so you might be able to see the tag trace? I never can make heads or tales of it.

It looks like notes is systematically stripped from URLs (?s=notes seems to work though). Have you played with .htaccess?

I will poke around in there and see if anything sings. I do have a rather large .htaccess file.

I also recall I have a short-code called ‘notes’. I don’t suppose there’s be a conflict somehow.

lol…

# Temporary redirect
Redirect 302 "/notes" "/"

Yep, I guess that would be it. I don’t even remember doing that or why.

Thanks!
