Title: Broken links?
Post by: DallasP on September 15, 2013, 17:44
I'm trying to do some testing, for some reason when I try to view a file it's appending ?r=http://drpgraphicdesign.com/stock onto the end of the url http://drpgraphicdesign.com/stock/?image=web-concepts-background?r=http://drpgraphicdesign.com/stock (http://drpgraphicdesign.com/stock/?image=web-concepts-background?r=http://drpgraphicdesign.com/stock) which obviously results in a broken link

That isn't supposed to be a broken link - it is an extension of the link that provides some good Google indexing, if I recall the earlier discussion.

Somewhere in the forum you can see the discussion about this.

Have you tried clicking it - it should be OK

It's not ok. It's broken. If I remove the referral it works though ... Not sure what I did. It seemed to work last night.

Check your Permalinks in Settings - seems it's wrong

I'm deleting it and starting over :) Bought a new domain and upgraded my hosting too :)

It'll be nice to not deal with the micros anymore. Stock is more of a hobby, and my portfolio isn't able to compete but, hopefully I'll see a sliver of success with Symbiostock.

What is the permalink setting supposed to be? Also, for some reason the pricing keeps resetting, and I'm kind of branding the site on having the bloggy size only $1. Which is competitive with the micro's but I'll keep most of the pennies for myself :) I'm happy to be a part of the community.

When you go into your WordPress dashboard hover over Settings (it'll be on the left hand side of the page) a pop over menu will pop up and click on permalinks.

Once that page loads under common settings you'll click on the post name radio button then scroll down and click the save changes button.

Thanks Anita, I just followed the instructions this time. I think I'll give it up for the night though. Having an error I can't figure out trying to modify header.php

You're welcome :)

Don't edit the core files save a copy of header.php into your child theme and edit that one.  But get some sleep first and come back to it with a fresh pair of eyes :)

Thanks Anita, I'm decently knowledgeable about wordpress and child themes :) I can't figure out what . I did wrong so I actually mailed it to a friend. I'll try and figure it out tomorrow.
