Menu Links Not Redirecting to Correct Pages

Post by Ericadixon » Sat Jan 18, 2025 9:57 am

Hi everyone

I’ve been facing an issue with the menu links on my Joomla site. When I click on certain menu items, they don’t redirect to the correct pages. Sometimes they don’t load the page at all, and other times they redirect to the wrong page completely. I’ve checked the URLs in the menu settings, and they all seem correct, but the issue still persists.

I’ve also cleared the cache and re-published the menu items, but that didn’t help. Has anyone experienced something like this before? What could be causing this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, did you recently update your Joomla or doing something to your joomla site? Which menu is inaccessible? Is it a Joomla article or something else?

Have you altered the acl?
Does it happen to logged in users or visitors or both?
Are you using a Template that has its own menu module or a 3rd part menu?

Thanks! Yes, I updated Joomla recently, and the issue occurs with both article and custom links.

I haven’t changed the ACL, but I’ll check. The problem happens for both logged-in users and visitors, and I’m using a third-party template with its own menu module.

Check if the 3rd party Template has an update. If no avail then contact the dev's and tell them their Template is no longer compatible.
