Common link problems can affect your website's functionality. Here's how to identify and fix them:

Login Screen Redirects When a link takes users to a login screen, it's because the URL contains editing-area elements like "/config #/". Fix this by using the public-facing URL instead of the editing URL.

Logged-In Version Issues Links showing the logged-in version occur when using integrated domain URLs while already logged into Squarespace. To prevent this:

• Use your custom domain for all links
• Hide the integrated domain from search engines
• Test links in incognito mode

404 Errors When links lead to "page not found" errors:

• Check for URL changes or typos
• Update outdated links manually
• Set up URL redirects as needed

Wrong Domain Links To fix links pointing to the wrong domain:

• Reselect pages in the link editor
• Ensure your main domain is properly set
• Replace integrated domain URLs with custom domain URLs

Imported Content Links For broken links from imported content:

• Replace old links with new site pages
• Use the link editor to select corresponding pages
• Set up URL redirects if needed

Fixing External Links:

1. Copy the correct URL from your browser
2. Test the URL in an incognito window
3. Update the link through the link editor
4. Verify the link works in incognito mode

Fixing Internal Links:

1. Open the link editor
2. Select the correct page from your site
3. Test the link in incognito mode

Category and Tag Links Ensure proper functionality by:

• Using built-in category/tag linking methods
• Maintaining exact case sensitivity
• Verifying URL structure matches category/tag names

Anchor Links For page jump links:

• Follow proper anchor link formatting
• Ensure anchor IDs match exactly
• Test functionality across different devices

Remember to regularly check and update links to maintain site functionality and user experience.
