Good morning,

I am from the north east and was up until ten years ago very active with websites using a mix of Dreamweaver, Textpad and Filezilla. Then I started down a complex and lengthy road with serious illness.

Things are lighting up a little and I am appalled at how outdate my websites  have become, I want to address one serious problem with one of my websites www.rohilla.co.uk not displaying the navigation element therefore restricting viewers to only the home page. Thereafter I need to really look at the website design but that is for another day.

I would be most grateful if somebody could point me in the right direction in this instance.

Welcome to the forums.

It appears you're calling the navigation via a PHP include around line 125.

<?php
include('rohilla_navigation.htm');
?>

Does the include .htm file exist at that location?

Thank you for replying, the .htm file is in the same folder as all the content pages.

I do not know why this has occured because it happened whilst I was definitely not working on my website. My main website http://www.eskside.co.uk has the same Rohilla content but I started to host the Rohilla one seperate to begin adding more content.

The only exception with the first Rohilla website brings the navigation element in by a

<div class=buttonscontainer> <div class=buttons><!-- buttonscontainer -->

I am not sure why it changed to a php include

index.htm

I noted your Rohilla home page is index.htm, try changing the name of that file to index.php and see if it works then.

This is frustrating, my biggest worry ishow long the navigation element was missing as nobody emailed me and feel I have cheated them. I have tried changing the file type to .php but then just get  a 404 Not Found Error.

I want to change the design of the websites as I have used it on each of my websites, Whitby Lifeboat, William Riley (Rohilla) lifeboat, my diving section and the rest of the 'sections'. The Rohilla one in particular has quite a list that I want to divide into sections like the lifeboat, the crew and so forth but don't really want to work on that in the background whilst I have this issue. I think I moved away from the "buttons container" because when I added a page I had to add the new page to the buttons container on every page?

I haven't looked but would you advise starting a search for a suitable layout which would bring my websites more of a fresh look.

I’d look to move the whole site to Wordpress or similar. You won’t ever have to code anything again (unless you want to). Menus, galleries, linking, contact forms, responsiveness and everything else is taken care of.

It also means you can access and update the site using any device from anywhere in the world. For example, you could do a dive and upload pictures in the cafe before you drive home.
