TOPIC: Main URL not pointing at Home page

Re: Main URL not pointing at Home page 13 years 2 months ago #39119

Hey Dana,

The page is coming up as Page Not Found due to changing the URL path for your main page. If you change the URL Path (the actual name of the page that appears in the URL) of your main change, you need to click on Site Information under the Admin Menu, scroll to the bottom of the page, and change the URL Path to match. I checked in the configuration for your site and you had it very close, but the full domain name was also included. The site knows what the root URL is, so it just needs the file name. I went ahead and made the change to the site and it's now showing properly.

For your form, I see the body of the contract showing properly, it's actually duplicated on the page. If you'd like, go ahead and send us an e-mail (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) and let us know which part isn't working.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for the help.  It does now point to the right page but I seem to have broken something else.  The home page now displays a large, blank what area where the header used to be. There is no main title text or tagline anymore. The same thing is also happening on the
/authorization-home-inspection-services page, just a little bit smaller. This is not an all pages, just "Inspection Home" and "Home Inspection Agreement".

There are a couple of other things as well; The pages are overly wide. There is a substantial amount of side scrolling, almost 1/2 a screen to the right on my 22 inch monitors that contains no content, just the background, including the header image (skyline). It is not effecting the content display, that is all in the viewable area but it is clipping the end off my title and tagline (on the pages where it still displays) Example; on tee above mentioned page, only the first three letters of the title word "Ins (pection) is showing.

I will put in a ticket for tracking.

Damn! I seem to have broken it again!  I went to the area you indicated to see what you had done, did NOT change anything, but when I saved, it seems to default to the checkbox being checked and breaks the link again.

Also, I noticed on the page, when it was working (before it broke again) the the page title on the top browser bar in IE and Chrome has part of my tagline appended to the end of it.  How does that happen?  I don't think I ever did that in any page naming I did.

This is really odd.  I have no problems working on some pages.  I make changes/additions and they just work. Others just break and I can't figure out why.
Very frustrating.

Re: Main URL not pointing at Home page 13 years 2 months ago #39140

The page title automatically includes your site slogan for SEO purposes. That's why the best line here is 'Website Optimization in x, x, x, & Surrounding Areas.' That can be overridden if necessary though.

I email you on your home page. You've renamed your home page URL but haven't updated the listing under Site Information. This lets the site know what page you want to be your home.
