Links

Link does not open or goes to the wrong place

Common link problems and how to fix them.

There is no link at this address, it is in the trash, or your subscription has ended. Compare the domain and slug with the link list.

The link is paused — someone stopped it manually or its lifetime ran out. Click Resume. If new links are also paused right away, check Auto-disable Links in the template.

Changes did not apply

Changes to links and templates take effect immediately. If a link still behaves the old way, check that you changed the right thing: the destination URL and streams are copied into the link when it is created, and an edit in the template does not carry over to existing links by itself — see how changes reach links.

Bots go to random sites

The link has no bot URL. Set it in the link or copy it from the template.

Macro stays in the URL as is

The link has no parameter with this name, and it is not a built-in macro. Check the spelling — see macros.

Destination site does not see where the visitor came from

Only the 301 Permanent and 302 Temporary redirect methods pass the referrer. Choose one of them or pass the referrer with the {referer} macro.

The number of links does not depend on the number of domains. Click Make one for each of the N domains — see how many links you get.

Links were not created on all domains

Some domains failed the check. The reasons are in the result window and under the Creation History button in the link list.

You see the bot page even though you are a person

The filter took your visit for a bot. Check from a phone on mobile data without a VPN. If this happens to many real visitors, lower the filter level.

Messenger shows an old preview

The messenger cached the link preview. Reset it, see preview did not update.
