menu forcing anchor links rather than full URLs

  • Hi folks

    I am using a template that I purchase called Kyte which is primary designed as a parallax HTML5 scrolling site….my client has asked me to convert the site into a standard, each section on its own URL, style site. They say that this is better for SEO….I am not so sure, but either way…i need to make this change.

    HOWEVER, when I create a new menu item it will only show up as a hashtag link – like #AboutUs rather than domain.com/aboutus – I assume there is a rule somewhere rewriting these URLs to they create scrollable links.

    Any ideas how I could revert back to the usual menu / URL style?

    thanks! TONY

  • Without going through the theme code, I wouldn’t be able to tell you what would be causing that. Since this is a commercial theme, I can’t see any of the code so you are going to have to seek support from the developer.

    The code that is rewriting the urls and anchor tags is found in the theme under style/js/script.js. Look for the heading “NAVIGATION REWRITE” and comment out the code below it, around lines 56-75. You will also need to set the page template to Default in the editing screen.

    A better, but more complicated, way of dealing with this is to create your own child theme, then dequeue this script and enqueue a replacement.
