Hello,

simply create a new page with type "menu link" and add the link you wanna have.

Hi,

I have set up my site and have tried to use the menu page type to link to another of my sites. I can go through the motions but the link has my WB home site url before the link url any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Example: http://kenrae.co.uk/pages/www.seemeinaction.co.uk

of course this comes back as page not found.

any help much appreciated.

Ken

Example: http://kenrae.co.uk/pages/www.seemeinaction.co.uk

This URL isn't a valid WB URL. It should look like:
http://kenrae.co.uk/pages/my_menu_link_page.php

Going to this page would then redirect the user to http://www.seemeinaction.co.uk

Are you sure that you defined the URL to be external and provided the entire URL (including http://)?

Hi,

Yes the url was not correct, I thought I had typed it in correctly but missed the two // after http:.

All works well now thanks for the quick reply, the newbie will get there in the end.

Great product, I wished I had found WB a long time ago.
