I have a navigation which I made as a Symbol. I had to add several pages and make other changes. All went well until I noticed that some pages using that Navigation Symbol were not showing the changes in the URL

To add an additional Tab I select the List Item Container and duplicate. Then go to the Text Link and change the link. The new Tab will show in the Navigation but the link does not change except on the one I manually changed. I expected the change to the link to also appear on all pages, not just the name that was Set.

Any ideas? This is a Foundation site.

Do you happen to have DE-linked the symbol on the page you add extra linksetc,, if you have then it wont change on the other pages

select the menu on the page in question, go to "symbols" the icon for the chain link thingy should be lit up bright orange like a blinker beacon, if it's not then that means it is not connected as a symbol

al else fails send me the project file

No, the index page has not been de-linked. Seems odd that the SET word changes on all pages but not the URL. Will go at it again tomorrow. Thanks for looking at this Wayan.

The following is not a solution, but just some musing.

1. Was this matter ever resolved when it arose before at https://www.coffeecup.com/forums/site-d … -symbols/? If so, what was the resolution?
2. Is it possible that it affects just the Mac OS and not Windows?
3. Could it be a problem that relates just to a particular navigation menu?

When the matter is resolved, it will be helpful if the way to cure it (or to avoid it) is reported here.

Further musing:

I have found at least one navigation menu (Furns Co - I forget where I found it now: it looks like a component or template item) where the menu for narrow viewports and the menu for wider ones used separate text links for the same items. It seems not impossible that one could overlook to change both of them, rather than just one of them.

It was solved, but I can't remember for the life of me how or why, but it was something to do with the nav thingy not being a symbol connected to the main symbol, I will try find it,

update

having looked further into that one It was different one that was solved but still can't remember how, and don't have the solution anymore.
We really now need to see the project file, there could be any number of reasons why

Share the project file so it can be looked at and tested. If a mistake or a bug I'm sure somebody will see the issue.

I'm happy to report that this morning I seems to have stumbled on the fix I needed.

Yesterday while making changes and adding links to the Navigation I was working from the Text Edit mode so I could change the link Name (eg. Home to HOME). This morning since all the link Names were correct I worked in the Element Properties Href to update the links. Thankfully, my changes have been applied across all pages!

Now that I have that fixed I find that I may need to add dropdowns to a few of the links. If I save this project with a different name, changes I make to the new project will not happen on this project? Right? I may fail miserably so I want to be sure I still have my original.

Suzanne has a Navigation video with dropdowns somewhere on CoffeeCup.com so I will try and find it.

Thank you all so much for being there for me. This is such a great community.

The navigation Suzanne is building, with videos to help, must be this one: https://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles … m-scratch/

If you save a project with a different name, you can do whatever you like to it without risking your original file.
