SOLVED: Internal links not working properly #23093
-
|
So I am kinda new to html and github. I have my github pages website up and running, but when you click on a link in the nav bar, it shows a 404 error because the link repeats itself. Example: Normal url upon loading up the site is example.github.io/example.html/. When you click on a link in the nav bar it goes to example.github.io/example.html/example.html, and that shows a 404 error. Link to main repository --> https://github.com/ninetailedmachine/ninetailedmachine.github.io EDIT: I’ve solved the problem |

I had made separate repositories instead of making a folder inside of the main repository. So I made a folder in the main repo, changed the html a bit to follow that path, deleted the other repositories and it worked! Obviously, I’m new to github, so this took me longer to figure out. |

just remove the forward slash infrom of the recipes folder when linking ex: <a href = "recipes/recipeName.html>recipeName it will work , no need to add js |

You can also use JS in the end to force it to go to that link. <a href=“example.html” onclick=“window.open(‘example.html’, ‘_self’);”> Example </a> |

Your website looks great so far! GitHub Links don’t work unless forced via JS.
Change example.html to your page and change the Example text to your link text. |
