Tried to update again. No success.
I created the javascript file outside of the template system and linked to it in my footer template.
The custom javascript to initiate jquery functions worked like they were suppose to.

However the links on the page would link back to the homepage http://www.example.com/index.php

In the source view they are correct http://www.example.com/index.php/category/etc

Tried to update again. No success.

When you say this, what do you mean exactly? Are there errors or do you just mean that an upgrade doesn’t solve the problems you’re having with EE?

My apologies, McCoy IT, but I’m having a terrible time trying to understand the issue you’re facing because of the vagueness in your posts. For each of the issues you’re dealing with, could you please tell me what you would expect to happen, what happens instead, and what you’ve done to try to fix it? Please be as detailed and clear as possible, using template code and HTML samples as needed to help specify.

Thanks!

I am just posting the steps I have taken to resolve my issue. So you know what I have gone over.

I have figured out that the Themes folder doesn’t unpack properly because of Windows 7 default unzip tool. That issue is resolved.

The error/issue I am having is that none of my links on my website work. As in the navigation, footer and page content links don’t go anywhere they just refer back to the homepage. The EE control panel works without any issue. It’s the site I am having problems with.

When you view the source code the href’s are correct. Is there something changed in 2.3.1/2.3.0 for routing? Is there something new in the index.php besides changing the system directory that I have to add or change?

I have figured out that the Themes folder doesn’t unpack properly because of Windows 7 default unzip tool. That issue is resolved.

So this is resolved? Very good!

The error/issue I am having is that none of my links on my website work. As in the navigation, footer and page content links don’t go anywhere they just refer back to the homepage.

And it looks like this is the remaining issue? Again, could you share some template samples to show how the links are rendered, show the HTML output to show the rendered versions of the links, and let us know what happens when you actually visit those links. Do the URLs work when you pull them up directly in the browser?

As much context as you can provide with your code samples is very helpful. Thanks!

The links when clicked go back to the main site/index page http://www.example.com/index.php
Tried manually typing in a different page and it goes back to http://www.example.com/index.php.

Hi McCoy IT,

Can I check one thing with you. When you upgraded did you replace the root index.php with the correct EE2.3.1 version?

Yup I used the new index.php and admin.php and altered the systems line to match my custom folder name.

McCoy,

Could you try removing blocks of your template one by one and see if the change affects your code. I would start by removing bits from your head first.

One other thing to do would be to replace the entire template with some basic code and see if links/javascript work in that.

Sean

Why would I have to alter my templates if they worked from 2.0 Public Beta up until now?

Attempted another update.
Went through and double checked all of my update procedures.
I tried altering my template.
I validated my HTML and it comes up without any issues.

It’s so weird to have the page render as it should and none of the links go to their appropriate page on the site.

McCoy,

The links when clicked go back to the main site/index page http://www.example.com/index.php
Tried manually typing in a different page and it goes back to http://www.example.com/index.php.

I just reviewed this thread again and the above is making me wonder if you have anything in your .htaccess file that could be causing this redirect. Could you please post your .htaccess file here.

And just to confirm, manually typing in a link results in you being redirected to the homepage, correct?

Altering the templates is just a troubleshooting method I’ve used successfully in the past to troubleshoot. Of course I always save the full template in another location while doing this.

Sean

Hi McCoy IT,

Can you rename your htaccess temporarily to see if it has been having an affect on your links?
