links are broken and I can't fix

Permalink
Hello, I am an amateur website manager for our local non-profit. The concrete-5 website was built before I joined the team so I am picking up where it was left. I have links on my page that are not active, and I don't know how to reactive them...please visit the website and look for yourself.http://seniorcenterjh.org

The links that don't work are the "newsletter" on the top left (it is on an animated boarded sign) and on the top right the contact us and location/map link.

Please help!

Good morning,
Have you checked the Sitemap (via the dashboard) to confirm the destination pages still exist and, if so, they are still in the correct location (IE "location" under "about us")? If accidentally erased, they will need to be recreated.

H Adrian, thanks for the feedback. I tried what you suggested and unfortuanely I think the link or route was lost when I was updating the website. What do you suggest I do about the broken link for the newsletter on the animated wooden sign at the top of the page? And the contact us/ location and map links on top?

I've tried navigating to the missing pages by typing their url directly into the browser instead of using the links and they are still not found so I don't think its the links.
If they existed but were blocked by permissions the link would normally redirect to the site's login page.
Can you copy an image of your sitemap and post it here? Otherwise if you run the sitemap job from the dashboard (Systems & Settings > Optimization > Automated Jobs) and then I could check it from the website without logging in.
Thx

I went into automated jobs and copies this linkhttp://seniorcenterjh.org/index.php/tools/required/jobs?auth=4ba9da...

Does that help? I am not sure how to copy the dashboard so that you could see it...

Sorry for not being clear :(
Look at the attachment to this post and you'll see I circled a little arrow symbol before the automated job for Sitemap. Clicking this icon will update your sitemap.xml (helpful for search engines) and also allow me to view your current page structure without needing to login to your site

Hi,
Looking at your sitemap.xml: The link for Contact doesn't show its actual location under the About page (and Location page beneath that). The link(s) can either be updated or drag&dropping the Contact page up a level in your Dashboards sitemap (to under Home instead of About) will match the location its being directed to.
I don't see an existing page for Newsletter at all. Creating a page named newsletter will take care of that.

I hope this helps. Drop me a PM with site access if you need help getting this done.

Hello,

Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately none of the options you gave me have worked on the website. I will just keep it dead links until I can get a web designer in here to look at it.
