Sideboxes Stopped Working

[elvis44]

It's just that the link is weird if the EZ Pages are supposed to open on the main page or if they are external links.

Im not sure what this means...

Just love the auto spell checker.

What it means is that the system is providing links that don't meet the standards for either a main page or external page link.

I'd guess it's your SEO URL rewriting mod that's gone haywire somehow.

Here's one of your EZ Pages:

Here's what Zencart is looking for:

Note that all your Information box links aren't working, either.

And one of the reasons the posting tips asks for mods installed.

[elvis44]

In trying to get my wordpress installation to work I turned off Ultimate SEO urls for a second.

Sorry I did not put what mods were done. All of the information I had on what mods I installed previously are on my old computer and I dont know what all of them are.

Any idea on how to fix this?

You don't need to do anything with Zen Cart for SEO EXCEPT simple meta tags and a good product description. The search engines will handle the links just fine.

In fact Google would prefer you not SEO and yours is one of the reasons stevesh and I do NOT recommend using any SEO. It, more often than not, just leads to link problems on the site and for the legitimate search engines.

And I would rethink Wordpress if you can. They are not quite up to date with their security fixes and have been known to be the portal for hackers to gain access to your site.

BOTTOM LINE

Try removing all instances of any SEO program and see if the links for the easy pages don't recover. If you have used any TinyURLs in the EzPages, I'd take them out as well for now.

Yes if I turn off SEO urls then the links start working again...

Wont if I remove my SEO program, then all of my search engine links will stop working?
