    Besides the fact that your Donations link is busted (it's showing booksense/net/donations.php instead of booksense.net/donations.php) that link is also present in the header navigation without being wrapped with an <li>...</li> pair.

    Thank you

    Sometimes you just go code blind!!!

    I have corrected that.

    Hopefully that will resolve the issue.

    The links should really have minimal hard coding. For the discussed link, it should simply be like <a href="donations.php">donation text</a>

    This way, no matter where your store resides, as long as the file remains relative to the root of your catalog, then it will be found. This includes if the domain name for some reason gets changed or you decide you want to reuse the template elsewhere...

    Absolute vs Relative links are what get most folks in trouble in Zen Cart.

    Setting a link to another item or part of your site should always be relative.

    Setting a link to another site should be absolute.

    Lot of good information at https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp

    In addition, accessibility requires some additional info for Absolute links.

    Getting them to operate correctly is a great SEO boost.
