WordPress: How can I fix the post entitled, "Error 404 - Page Not Found" when creating hyperlinks for the mac?

I am a web developer student and part of my final project requires me to create my own website. I have created five pages in WordPress and as separate pages, they all came out great. However, when it came time to create the hyperlinks to interconnect them all together, I received this notice:

This has been very frustrating and I just discovered that this is a very common problem.


What am I doing wrong? How can I fix this when creating hyperlinks for the mac in WordPress?

MacBook Pro, 10.8.5

Hello KnightInExile,

Hyperlinks are not specific to any operating system. You need to provide some additional information. Can you supply the URL to two or more of these pages? Ideally your link should be a relative link to just the unique parts of all of your URLs. For example, if you had links like this:


http://example.com/mysite/myblog/page1.html

http://example.com/mysite/myblog/page2.html

http://example.com/mysite/myblog/page2.html


Then all you would need to go from one page to any other would be "page1.html", "page2.html", or "page3.html". If you had some detail pages like this:


http://example.com/mysite/myblog/detail/detailpage1.html

http://example.com/mysite/myblog/detail/detailpage2.html

http://example.com/mysite/myblog/detail/detailpage3.html


You could link between the detail pages just as you did above. You could link to one of the top level pages with something like "../page1.html". From one of the top level pages, you could get to one of these detail pages with "detail/detailpage2.html".


Hopefully that answers your question. If not, please provide more detail.
