But I was not sure I could link directly to the root. I will do it this way.<br /> I will look the WP3 menu...I used a hardcoded menu to maintain my main site design.<br /> Thank you Helga ! </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/link-links-from-my-subdirectory-blog-to-site-root-problem-with-url#post-16878 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 16:25:02 +0000 helgatheviking 16878@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>have you given any thought to using a WP3.0 menu?</p> <p>but anyway, the problem is in your crazy, RELATIVE links. basically all those ../ say go up 4 levels from where you are right now and then find the editions.html file.... which as you've noticed doesn't work when you are deeper into the blog b/c then you need to go up MORE than 4 levels. where are those files? are they in the root of your site?</p> <p>maybe you could link like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mysite.com/index.html&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;</code></pre> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/link-links-from-my-subdirectory-blog-to-site-root-problem-with-url#post-16870 Wed, 10 Nov 2010 09:00:01 +0000 Bluesky 16870@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>My blog is in a subdirectory<br /> <a href="http://www.mysite.com/blog" rel="nofollow">www.mysite.com/blog</a><br /> My blog has a hardcoded menu to maintain the navigation on the all site. Viewers navigate inside the blog and can access the main site ( site home, about, editions etc...) from the menu.</p> <p>Today I see that Google shows Crawl Error for urls from my blog to my site root pages. </p> <p>Example of my hardcoded menu<br /> <pre><code>function add_menu() { { ?&gt; &lt;div id=&quot;menu&quot;&gt; &lt;ul id=&quot;cent&quot;&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;../../../../index.html&quot;&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;../../../../editions.html&quot;&gt;editions&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;../../../../about.html&quot;&gt;about&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;/ul&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;?php } } add_action....etc...</code></pre> <p>The URl problem comes out when pages are linked deeper from into the blog i.e : /category/tag...</p> <p>I feel there is a big mistake in my code...<br /> What should I do ?</p> <p>More generally, how do I write urls that link back to the root of my site from the blog?</p> <p>Thank you, </p>
