Internal link misconnection
7 replies · Started by Adam on February 8, 2022
Does anyone have an inclination as to why my internal links changed their format to something inoperable?
links have gone from .com/example to .comexample
This makes the link(s) lead nowhere.
How can I fix this without manually going through the hundreds of internal links I have?
Hi there,
can you share a link to a post where i can see the issue ?

If you scroll down past the water bottle photos/links there are two in-text links (Great Sand Dunes National Park and White Sands National Park), both of which are experiencing the problem I am speaking of.
Is it only those ?
If i check the site source code i see:
<a href="https://inadamsshoes.comcolorado-national-parks/">Great Sand Dunes National Park</a>
So it looks like that is the href saved in the database.
Has this recently changed ?
It is all my internal links pretty much. Not the main, navigational features, but the actual in-text linking. I have manually adjusted a few of the links already.
I'm not aware of how anything would have changed. Things were working, and now are not. Nothing on my end was done that I am aware of.
Thats an odd one - as those URLs are saved in your content, and it would require a very specific search and replace to affect just them. Are there any plugins in play that do stuff with links?
Nothing that I am aware of. I would be more than happy to provide the information necessary for you to take a look, as this problem is seriously affecting my insights.
Aside from being unrelated to the Theme ( GP doesn't interfere with content or permalinks ) - i would not know where to begin. You might want to use a broken link checker to find and replace them. The only alternative is to see if you have a server backup before the issue arose.
