Issue with footer links

February 1, 2023 at 9:08 pm #9217

[anonymous]

When I add an internal link in the footer, I’ve got a strange URL.

I paste https://mydomain.com/post-title, save the changes. Then when I edit the link again, I got:

../../../../../../../../../../post-title

I did an audit of the website with ahrefs.com, and it tells me that the link ../../../../../../../../../../post-title is a 301 redirect.

Any help is welcome.

Thank you

Julien

Hi,

Are you using relative URLs?

Hi, as I’ve mentioned, I paste the absolute URL.

https://mydomain.com/post-title

Hi,

Regarding relative URLs – do you have enabled Relative URLs under server settings? Sorry that my first message wasn’t too specific 🙂

No, I didn’t because it says the sitemaps would be disabled if I do so.

Hi jfrere,

I have tested this case and the problem appears only if you put as a link “/post-title” instead of “https://mydomain.com/post-title” – it seems that TinyMCE tries to resolve relative URL to the absolute path.

I have found that this option: https://www.tiny.cloud/docs/configure/url-handling/#convert_urls is responsible for this behaviour, so we will fix it (by disabling this feature) in Publii v.0.42

Ok thank you! We’ll wait until the next release of Publii. I’ve managed a workaround with footer menu.
