It gives me a msg saying no input can be found on Firefox and on explorer its saying website cannot be opened.

If you go towww.www.poshpigletdesigns.co.uk...
Go to galleries
Then logos
There is a slider on the top of the page click on the learn more and you'll see the error msg

Also I cant edit the older pages as there is no edit button

I think the index php files are missing, I know this because someone more thechy told me I think this happened during the upgrade....

I need to know how to put those files back if that indeed is the case......I am just a designer this is not my field at all...I am totally stuck!

The problem seems to be your pretty URLs not working. You are linking to http://www.poshpigletdesigns.co.uk/contact-us/... but without working pretty URLs that will not work. You will then have to link to http://www.poshpigletdesigns.co.uk/index.php/contact-us/.... The same goes in your navigation for Contact Us.

Try this: Go to 'Dashboard > SEO & Statistics > Pretty URLs' ( http://www.poshpigletdesigns.co.uk/index.php/dashboard/system/seo/u... ) and enble Pretty URLs.

If it says it is already enabled when you go to the page, then disable and enable again to see if the CMS can update your .htaccess file correctly.

If the site's going bananas when you turn on pretty URLs, that's an indication that your web host isn't correctly supporting something called "mod_rewrite". This is a server configuration.

You could try adding the line
RewriteEngine On


into your .htaccess file. If you start getting internal server errors, this is proof that it's not configured and you'll need to talk to your hosting company.


I also wonder how that slider block sets links - maybe it's not taking account of the pretty url setting being on or off.

If I;m not mistaken, the slider is part of the the natural Leather theme - Have you tried requesting support for it?

Have tried contacting them but they say it's got nothing to do with them so I am stuck.... If I pm you my log in details for my site can you just have a look .....pretty pls?

Sure - no problem.

If you could send C5 login and also your hosting
account/cpanel/plesk/ftp or whatever that would be useful too.

And do you have a link to your site so we (the ever so helpful community) can have a look?

Have you enabled Pretty URLs?

I changed your .htaccess file slightly, so that pretty URLs now work:

# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --


Now that they're working, the links on your gallery/logos pages are doing the right thing.

On a slightly different matter, your hosting platform appears very slow. It might be worth your while considering a move to a UK based host, and not one that's in the USA.
