Nav not working on internal static pages in WordPress

  • I have the most peculiar problem with WordPress currently. I was loaded a template as a theme for a client website. Everything’s working great. But when I create an interior page, the Nav seems to stop working. When I click on the logo on the nav to go back to home page, it works. But the other links on the nav stop working. If I right click and “open new tab” it works. Even when I change the URL to something like https://www.yahoo.com in the inspector, it does not work. Only clicking on the logo works. Scroll down to see the Nav. Still work in progress.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Your navbar is linking to anchors like #about and #help. These are IDs of sections on your homepage. They’re not going to work on secondary pages because those sections do not exist on those pages. If you update the links to include the full URL, like https://www.businessgroupresources.com/#about then they will link to the correct place on the homepage.

    Thanks for your reply Jacob. In my code, I am using “../#about” Which should return to the previous page and jump to that ID. I’ve done it on other websites. If you open up your inspector, and change the #about link to something like https://www.google.com as the href, it does not even work. But when you click on the logo, it navigate away from the page. Also, when I change the Logo’s URL to “../#about”, it will do what I want it to.

    If I put <a href="/#about" title="About">About Us</a> somewhere in the body paragraph, it will do what I want it to.
