Re: Paradox 404!

your navigation menu is showing some weirdness. For example, the link to your Contact page is:

What setting to you have for Backlight Settings > Website Settings > Page URL Format?
Your navigation menu also shows the url to the About page as

rather than .../?page=contact/

Do you have a Backlight Contact page?

Are you using the Pages module? That's the only way you'll get a Backlight based Contact page.

If you're trying to get to the contact page of this site: http://www.evagoras.co.uk/ then in your Menu Set, use the Link to: option of URL for that item.

But this is just a guess. If you can give an outline of what you're trying to do, we can give better advice.

Re: Paradox 404!

Hi Rod, thanks for your help.

my Backlight Settings > Website Settings > Page URL Format is set to about

I've created 3 pages and each of them don't work

FluxBB bbcode test

I've tried to view page in browser FluxBB bbcode test and I get 404!

I attempting to get the address of http://gallery.evagoras.co.uk to be my home page but I'm getting a page with an album set.

The design I want to be my home page is http://gallery.evagoras.co.uk/home/ without the /home 

Hope this makes sense hmm

Re: Paradox 404!

Just to be clear, you have the Pages Add-on?

If so, did you remember to upload index.php and .htaccess files from your download?

Re: Paradox 404!

just download Backlight + Pages again. Do you still have the link from the updates Matt sent out last week?
If not use the link on the main support page: http://theturninggate.net/support/

Re: Paradox 404!

You probably need to set your system folder settings to show hidden files. Looks like you're on a Mac? Try Googling "show hidden files Mac"

Re: Paradox 404!

make sure you're uploading the index.php and .htaccess files to the correct location. They should be at the same level as the backlight/ folder, not inside of it.

Re: Paradox 404!

If it's still not working consider sending an email to Ben with Backlight admin login credentials as well as FTP access.
