Standard Links Work Fine – Custom Links, Not so Much

    I am using my own website to send, not a third-party and the “usual” links all work fine in a sent newsletter (social icons, automatic latest content, unsubscribe, etc) but if I use a ‘titles & text’ block and enter my own link code, the links all return a 404 errors. For instance:

    Amazon.com

    …doesn’t work once the newsletter is sent. What am I doing wrong?

  • Can you paste your entire amazon link here so that we can try to replicate this issue?

    HA! I did!! I forgot it would be translated into a link!! It’s just a plain link to Amazon, not even an affiliate link. But the program puts tracking code onto it and it doesn’t work. :o(

    So the amazon link is just (without the extra spaces):

    < a href=”https://www.amazon.com&#8221; > Amazon < /a >

    Hey hey hey! I figured it out myself!!!!!!!

    Apparently, someone else who had their fingers in the code capitalized the http: command (Http:…) Now that I caught it and my OCD took over, the links all work fine!!
