using map in iframe is breaking links

[sedwards]

Hello,

I have a map setup on a wordpress website and i have used an iframe to get the map to appear on our other website which is Shopify. The description of each marker has a ‘visit website’ link, for some reason about half the links have the wrong address on the front end. For example:

Visit Website

becomes

Visit Website

which takes you to an error page because that page does not exist on our domain.

Its doing this on both the WordPress website, and the iframe.

Any ideas on what is causing this?

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back in touch with us, we do appreciate your time.

Unfortunately I cannot see the links that you have posted, however, I believe that you are experiencing your marker links being used as URL slugs instead of a full URL.

This is generally caused when your entered link does not have its protocol scheme such as ‘https://’.

When your entered link does not contain the ‘https://’ part of the URL, the link will be taken as a slug to your website domain thus you have mentioned that the link goes to a page on your site that does not exist.

With that said, please may you ensure that your links contain the ‘https://’ part in them so that the link is rendered as a complete URL?

Please do let me know if this helps?

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Kindest Regards,
Matthew

Hey,

I found the problem. One of the first things i tried was adding the http:// before the link but it wasn’t working. I tried again and realised that the cache was interfering.

Thanks for your help i think it will work now

Hi there,

Thank you for getting back to me regarding this.

That is not a problem at all and cache can be an interference when using a caching solution. However nonetheless, I am happy to hear that.

Should you have any other questions, I will gladly answer them.

Have a great day further!

Kindest Regards,
Matthew
