For some reason, my posts starting last Sunday (June 24) won't link outside. The links just loop back to my blog. What happened, and how can I fix it? My blog is www.jensthraenhart.com/cblog

Thanks very much!!!

Thanks Garvin. But I still don't know what to do to fix it. Very frustrating.

Hi!

You need to either upgrade your serendipity or you need to disable the exit tracking or you need to disable the caching of the entryproperties plugin. All three solutions are mentioned right at the end of this thread, I think.

Thanks. I upgraded, but didn't do the trick. I played around with a few things and also disabled exit tracking. And it seemed to have done the trick...at least it seems to work for now. So thanks for that.

Now I seem to have another problem. My links to my static pages don't work. Well, the URL shows the correct page, but it loops back to the homepage. It almost seems that the static pages are removed, but when I checked in admin, they are all there, and the URL structure has not changed. Very strange. Can you help with this one? have a look at www.jensthraenhart.com/cblog

Now you may understand that I am bit frustrated with S9Y. I like its flexibility, but I am not a developer, just an emarketer and hobby blogger.

Thanks very much. Jens

Hi!

Upgrading alone will only fix the bug if you enter and re-save the article again. Sorry, I missed to mention that again (it should be contained in the thread, though). :(

Did they work before? Do you remember what you changed when they didn't work?

Your staticpage links point to "index.php?/pages/News.html", but this kind of URL is only used when "URL Rewriting" in the s9y configuration is set to "None". When you use URL rewriting (which you do, according to your other links) a staticpage should link to "/cblog/pages/News.html" directly. Can you try to configure the permalink of the staticpage like this?
