Social Buttons in Holder Theme pointing in odd direction

Howdy! The site I’m working with is http://www.wethepeach.com

I’ve plugged in the FaceBook page for this site (http://www.facebook.com/pages/WeThePeachcom-Oregon-Country-Fair-Family/168462963182796) and when I click on the FaceBook icon on the home page of the Holder theme, I am routed to a FaceBook logo.

Strange.

The domain (wethepeach.com) is pointing to a subfolder of another site w/masking. Would that have anything to do with it?

Could you take a look and see what’s up?

Thanks so much! :slight_smile:

    @jenniferljl: Hi and welcome to WPMU DEV. One point is not sitting right on viewing your site, why is it all sitting in an iframe? The holder theme doesn’t use an iframe. I can’t replicate issues in my testing therefore the fact you may have a plugin or it’s in an iframe for some reason would be an issue I would suggest.

    Hi Tammy!

    I wonder what iFrame is… All I did was use my host’s one-click install, then upload the theme. I don’t have any other plugins installed.

    So if I right click on the the Facebook icon and select “open in new tab” — ta da! It works! But not if I click straight on the icon.

    Do you think it has anything to do with using a subfolder on another domain?

    Your site is sitting within an iframe. The domain is actually shpankie.com.

    Think of it as you;re watching ABC news, they;ve got NBC news on a monitor in the back of the studio and you’re watching that monitor in the background.

    edit: It’s even more interesting. shpankie.com is sitting on a Volico box in florida while wethepeach.com is sitting on a godaddy box somewhere else. You need to talk to your host because something is royally mucked up here.

    I agree… whilst I’m not a hosting expert this code for a site is just wrong:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"

    "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

    <html>

    <head>

    <title>WeThePeach - the Oregon Country Fair online community for Fair Family </title>

    As has been pointed out your site is literally running in another.

    I’m afraid with hosting showing in an iframe like that I can’t tell what the issue is. As you’ve seen from 2 people though that’s not the way hosting should show your site so I would suggest at this point you talk to your hosting company.

    Ha! You guys are so quick at responding that I posted those last two posts without realizing that you’d posted again.

    Okay, well I’m looking at moving the hosting over to HostGater. I’m looking for an unlimited storage and bandwidth solution. I don’t need video storage because those will be stored on Vimeo or YouTube.

    Thanks again!
