I'm using dropbox child with all static pages. I have the Nav menu at the top of the home page, but on all the other pages I use the Primary Widget on the left for two navigation items and the Secondary Widget on the right for four navigation items. All work fine with the exception of the home page navigation. Here are code examples:

<li><a href = “?page_id=4”>Fiction</li> This is partial code within the <ul> which is fine. It takes me to http://localhost/hh/wordpress/?page_id=4 which is what the home page navigation bar does.

However, since the Home Page does not have a specific page_id, I can't get it to work. I've tried a number of ways such as the following:
<li><a href = “wordpress”>Home</li> This comes up with 404 and shows localhost/wordpress/wordpress
<li><a href = “”>Home</li> This does nothing, keeping me on the current page.

Any idea's?

Hi RDOBrien,

Would you send me some login credentials to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so I can take a quick look for you? Also, please do two things for me:
1) Include a link to this forum post in the email
and
2) After sending the email, reply to this forum post letting me know you sent the email so that I can check it.

Looking forward to helping.

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Nick

This is not on a website, it is localhost. What can I send you to better explain the problem?

Hi Dick,

No problem. I think I understand the issue well enough. Please try:
or you could just do:
which should for sure work, then you can change it to www.yourdomain.com/ when it's live.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
Nick

Hi Nick

When I do the first the URL becomes
http://localhost/hh/wordpress/“/” and it states NOTFOUND The requested URL /hh/wordpress/“/” was not found on this server.

When I do the latter I get:

http://localhost/hh/wordpress/“http://localhost/hh/wordpress/” and the page reads Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /hh/wordpress/“http://localhost/hh/wordpress/” on this server.

Any other thoughts?

That's really strange that it's adding the double quotes even.

Could you hold off on this one until you get it up on a remote server so that I can take a look for you?

Kind regards,
Nick

Yes, thanks for your help.

You're welcome, Dick! Looking forward to helping more too. Let us know once it's up and we'll be glad to help.

Cheers,
Nick
