A 404 error code (and broken hyperlinks) throw many people for a loop, but once you understand what they are, they are easy to fix. First, a 404 error code appears when you have a broken link on your page. This generally occurs if you have deleted a page, renamed a page, forgot to publish a page, or have your home page named something other than "index", but the hyper-link is still trying to direct the visitor to that page.
1) First take note of the actual page name you are trying to link to.
2) Next from the link List select the link that is broken, then click the Edit Link button
3) The following window will appear. Make sure the spelling is exactly the same as the page you are linking to.
4) If the spelling does not match you can guarantee a correct link by clicking the browse button in the previous window, then scrolling down and selecting the correct page from the list of pages as shown below.
5) After you publish the page, the link should be fixed. You can verify this by looking at the URL in your browser (published site) to make sure the URL matches the page name.

Hi,
I had a problem with my website not loading up and was told the reason being my Home page had not been saved as the index page. This was corrected yesterday and everything was working fine but now when browsing through the other pages and then return to HOME, the contents do not appear again and just get:
This domain is hosted and managed by Intuit.
You can get your own personalized web address at Intuit.com,
Other times I get lines of html?????
Any idea what is causing this?
Many thanks
Tony

Hi Trenda, I took a look at your site and as of now, you have some broken links which is why it's displaying the "page not found" error. Follow the steps above to fix the broken links.

See step #3. The page name you are linking to does not exist.

Follow the steps here. Your "Home" link is pointing to a page called "home" which does not exist and is the cause of the error. You need to direct your "Home" link to "index.html" (see step 3), instead of "home.html".
The index page is the home page of every site.
If this post helps, please give a "Star" and complete this survey to rate me.
Thanks!

You'll want to start by creating a navigation menu. Right now your site just has some standard text boxes, but the text isn't linked to anything. Visit this thread. https://community.homestead.com/homes... If you still have problems let us know.
I have tried a hundred times to get the pages published that I've saved, and instead, they just publish the default pages or they give error messages on the pages. There is no link button to fix on my website. Only option it gives is to change the color, but not the address or linking. This is crazy-making

I don't know what other info you would need.

This thread will show you how to troubleshoot and fix broken links. You may not always get the site error 404 message but the steps are still the same.
