• Someone else designed and set up our wordpress site and I’m a bit of a novice with wordpress and html. We have a broken link on our homepage that I cannot fix. There is a gray box on our homepage with some text and a “more” link – when you click on “more,” you get a 404 error. I think the gray box is a widget, but it’s not in our list of active or inactive widgets. I have no idea how to fix this problem. Any advice about where to start is greatly appreciated!

    Can you share the URL? We’re shootin’ blind.

    Of course – I’m new to the forum, so thanks for letting me know you need more information:-)

    Our web address is https://www.rebuildingtogether-twincities.org. The little gray box has a heading that says “Current Projects” (bottom right next to the “media gallery”).

    Okay. The broken link is https://www.rebuildingtogether-twincities.org/?p=329

    The CORRECT URL is https://www.rebuildingtogether-twincities.org/?page_id=114

    Looking at the source of your page, that’s part of the Current Project Module. <!-- Current Project Module Starts Here --> Does that sound like somethign your theme has?

    Yes – in the Main Index Template of the theme:

    <!--  Current Project Module Starts Here -->
      <div class="current_p_wrapper">
        <div class="current_p_top"></div>
        <div class="current_p_mid">
          <div class="content">
            <div class="heading_c">Current projects</div>
            <?php
    					 $querystr_cp = "
    						SELECT <code>post_content</code>, ID,post_title
    						FROM <code>wp_posts</code>
    						WHERE <code>post_parent</code> =114
    						ORDER BY <code>post_date</code> DESC
    						LIMIT 1
    					 ";
    					 $pageposts_cp = $wpdb->get_results($querystr_cp, OBJECT);
    				     if ($pageposts_cp):
    		              foreach ($pageposts_cp as $post):
    		                setup_postdata($post); ?>
            <span class="bluetext"><b>
            <?php the_title(); ?>
            </b></span>
            <?php $content_project = get_the_content();
    							      $words_project = explode(' ', $content_project);
                                     echo $home_projects = implode(' ', array_slice($words_project, 0, 25)); ?>
            <div align="right"><a>" class="green_cp">more ></a>
              <?php endforeach;
    		            endif; ?>
    
            </div>
          </div>
    	<div class="current_p_bottom"></div>
        </div>
        <!--  Current Project Module Starts Here -->
    
      </div>

    Yeah you can’t just post code in the forums without using the code tag (see the button on the message menu? it makes a BACKTICK, not <code> tags).

    Basically this section:

    <?php $content_project = get_the_content();
    							      $words_project = explode(' ', $content_project);
                                     echo $home_projects = implode(' ', array_slice($words_project, 0, 25)); ?>
            <div align="right"><a>" class="green_cp">more ></a>

    I think that last line is what’s wrong but I’m PRETTY sure that’s not actually what it looks like.
