Broken links issue using Simple Edits for footer nav menu

[professorz]

Hello,

I am using the Simple Edits plugin to modify the footer text on the following site:

http://westsidetutoring.com/

This is the code I have entered in the Footer Output section:

<div align="center">
<p>ABOUT WTTS | GETTING STARTED | ACADEMIC TUTORING | AREAS OF SPECIALIZATION | COLLEGE ADMISSIONS | LEARNING DIFFICULTIES | TEST PREPARATION | TESTIMONIALS | CONTACT US</p>
<p>©Westside Tutoring & Testing Services</p>
<p>Return to the Top | Website Design by Creative Options Media</p></div>

My problem is this: if you are on the home page and hover over the menu links at the bottom, they all display correctly. However, if you click on a link and go to that page, when you hover over the bottom menu again, the links display the page you are on followed by the link for the page you are hovering over and those are non-existent URLs.

Consequently, Alexa is showing I have numerous broken links and that's not good.

Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it? Please be as specific as possible as I am not a coder.

Thank you in advance,
Jack

Please paste your code into a Github Gist and embed or link to it from here.

Otherwise, you may find this tutorial useful

I think its better to use code rather than the plugin.

Hi Brad,

Here is the link to the Gist; https://gist.github.com/anonymous/e8027dac72cb4761f078

I have used the Simple Edits plugin on other sites and double checked to see if the same thing was happening with them - it is not.

Again, links are fine from home page but not on other pages.

Thanks for the help.

Better to deactivate the plugin and use this code.

Thanks Brad. I deactivated the Simple Edits plugin and added the code to the functions.php file, but still seem to be having the same issue.

From the home page, if I hover over College Admissions, I get: http://westsidetutoring.com/college-admissions

However, if I am on another page, say Academic Tutoring, and hover over College Admissions, i get: http://westsidetutoring.com/academic-tutoring/college-admissions

Hey Brad,

I believe I have resolved my problem. I went with the Footer Putter plugin and I am no longer having the issue of erroneous links being created.

Thanks for all your help,
Jack
