Malfunctioning Navbar

[Centinela]

my site is: devchimayoweavers.com

I am making progress on my Bootstrap site despite a general lack of knowledge of all things CSS. I added some pages in the Admin section with access via the navigation bar. I added some <li> buttons in one dropdown and added a whole 'nother dropdown button with a few more pages. They all work fine on the STFNT page, and they display, but don't function as buttons on the other pages. And the category page buttons off the navbar aren't working at all, the are dead links. The fact that the category page buttons display as "&MVTE:CATTREE_CATEGORy:NAME;" might be a useful hint, but I don't really know why it isn't actually displaying the category names.

I have been carefully comparing the codes for the the navbar to see if the changes I made did anything obvious to cause the problem, but can't find anything obvious.

I have another issue that I'll put in a seperate post. I'm not sure...they might be related, but I have no idea.

Extremely difficult to diagnose without seeing the actual code so feel free to post your navbar code. Replace your domain name in the links if you need to.

Re: Malfunctioning Navbar

I don't see any issues there which means it may be something in your global header etc. that is not closed.

I can tell you that you need

<li class="level-&amp;mvte:cattree_category:level;"><a href="&amp;mvte:cattree_category:link;">&amp;mvte: cattree_category:name;</a></li>

to be

<li class="level-&mvte:cattree_category:level;"><a href="&mvte:cattree_category:link;">&mvte:cattree_category:name;</a></li>

no need for the amp; here

Another thing that may be causing an issue is making sure you have the cssui_links item assigned to those pages you have created.

Re: Malfunctioning Navbar

Yes!! It was the cssui_links not being assigned to the new pages. Now my navbar is working on all the pages. Thank you!
