Can’t get basic link to work. Pulling my hair out.

Looks to be working to me. Even opens in a new tab.

Can you explain what wasn’t working?

404 not found

Other Information

Line 72 of index.php file has tag linking a file using its full URL. Linked file works independently, but when called for by the HTML coding I get the 404 error. Never had it happen in the past. Please advise. Thank you.

When I go to your site and click the “group management” link it seems to work fine

Have you tried clearing your cache to make sure your browser isn’t displaying an old version?

Thanks for the interest. When I open the website golfsite.great-site.net (index.php). I click the Manage Groups hyperlink and it returns the 404 not found error. The target php file (test.php) is in the same htdocs directory as the index.php file. I’ve been writing HTML/PHP/MYSQL code for years and never had this problem. Thanks again.

That is strange because I follow the exact same steps as you and I get the test.php I screenshotted before.

Do you get the same results in a private/incognito browsing window?

Or if you right click on the manage groups, hyperlink and copy link, is it showing the correct link?

I right clicked and inspected the code. It was not pointing to the correct ref. Problem fixed. Dumb mistake for so many years of doing this. Thank you sooooo much.
