Hi there
I created a Weblink category and created an external link within that category. I then created a menu item to display the contents of the category. This worked but when clicking the link it does not take me to the external url it appends the url to my site url. Is there anyway I can get the weblinks functionality working correctly with sh404SEt /
Regards

Hi there
http://www.xxxx.com.au/ If you go to the footer menu and click on Links, then click the xxxx.com.au link you will see it. I have created a Joomla Super user called xxxx with password xxxx. You are welcome to login an check what's wrong.

Hi,

The problem was that the URL you wanted to link had one more dot on the LTD part (.com.au).
The solution is the addition of a replacement for the second dot by a dash (-).

Now everything works fine.
