Having some difficulty setting up hyperlink in module

Post by arlattimor » Tue Aug 09, 2022 9:07 pm

I seem to be having some issues with setting up a hyperlink within a module. When I click the link I get a 404 error. Not sure what I'm doing wrong guys. Your guidance and assistance is always appreciated!Image

On viewing https://joshuawayofhope.org, confirming the bottom menu module with the three links under 'Activities', none of those links work and all lead to 404's.

A 404 error generally indicates 'file not found'. With Joomla, this could be caused by a few things, including but not limited to:
  • the page not existing,
  • unpublished article, or
  • no permissions to view it/them.
I would suggest to investigate further the 2nd and 3rd point above, could you advise the status (information on the Content tab), - article permissions (registered, public, guest etc.), and published state of the article?

Other routine things to try: (1) a different browser? (2) clear the joomla and browser caches?

There are many problems with this website and they have nothing to do with whether articles are published or whether there is a module that has links to these articles.

Your articles do not have a menu item that points to them. Also, you have only partially enabled SEF URLs. I suggest that you read the documentation about how to enable SEF URLs.

Your articles exist; you do not have a menu item that allows you to access them. Anyway, here's the link to display the article about the raffle: https://joshuawayofhope.org//index.php? ... icle&id=15 (but the "click here" is broken).

@leolam: I didn't fix this. The OP fixed this. I just observed the issue has been fixed, that's all. ;)
