menu links 404

[mathetos]

I'm helping a friend with his site. He installed wb and all is functioning very well. But the menu links are directing us to a 404. We know that the folder was not moved after the initial install and everything seems to be working totally fine.

The index is found at:
http://www.safepassagectc.org/wb/index.php (or without index.php)
OR at
http://www.safepassagectc.org/wb/pages/index.php

But none of the other root pages work at all. For example, the "About Us" page points to:
http://www.safepassagectc.org/wb/About%20Us
But it's supposed to point to:
http://www.safepassagectc.org/wb/pages/about-us.php

It's just not doing that. At this point, I also don't have access to the database, so please don't ask me to look something up there. If you think it HAS to be a database issue, then I'll try to get that access and come back, but hopefully we can figure it out from the admin panel of wb.

PLEASE HELP!!

[UPDATE]
I have database access now and can look up stuff. Please help if you have any suggestions!

Hello,

it seems that you removed in the advanced options of WB the "Page Extension". Should be default ".php". Also the Pages dir seems to be not "/pages".

I figured it out. I had formatted the show_menu2 function wrong and had the links pointing to the menu_title rather than using the native [a] function. In the old show_menu2 version I could use [menu_title] like this: a href="[menu_title]"> I liked that better because I didn't like all the classes that the default [a] function created. But this has been cleaned up in the newer version.

Long explanation for a simple thing that drove me crazy for a long time. Just wanted to share the results.
