Link problem

  • I am pretty new to this. I put up a site – https://www.thehealthyhomestore.com. I brought in 2 test articles and at the bottom the link to the article (should go to the article at articlebase.com) always goes to an internal 404 error page. should go to the actual article which is not on the site. If this a permalink setting I am lost as how to fix it. Thanks in advance.

  • It’s nothing with permalinks, its the HTML. You are using relative urls.

    You are using:

    Thansk – I fixed it – but, every time I bring a new one in I have the same problem. Will I hve to change it every time?

    Seems to me that I have to change the permalink custom structure somehaow so that it picks up the link I am trying to send it to?

    rugman,

    As Reuben said, it isn’t a permalink problem. The permalink is for the post/page on your site.

    You can’t have a permalink that is for the address of an article on someone’s else’s site.

    All you can do on your site is post a very brief quote from the article — no more than two lines — and have a link in your post / page to the article.
