"Create links without .html" no longer works

Report a bug

Hi,

At some point within the past few months, after recent site (and Nicepage) updates, the option to create links without .html stopped working and those links on my site that previously worked (like https://thegameeditors.com/book) produce a 404 error, and only the html link works (like https://thegameeditors.com/Book.html). I don't know how many prospects I tried sending to a broken link before I noticed the change!

I publish my site using the export to html option and uploading it to my host via ftp. After the update, I'm on v.6.9.2.

Please let me know how this can be fixed. Thank you very much!

Hi Jess,

This is a self-hosted website: thegameeditors.com
The "Create links without .html" option is for Nicepage Hosting only. The HTML expoer does not have this option supported because this is the server setting. You can set up redirection on your server manually if needed.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Ok, thanks for the response! Was this changed at some point? I'm pretty sure it used to work...

Hello Jess,

Unfortunately, currently, The "Create Links Without . HTML" option only works for websites hosted on Nicepage's own hosting service.

If you have any more questions or need any further assistance, feel free to ask!

It sounds frustrating to deal with broken links after the update. Have you tried checking the settings in Nicepage or your hosting configuration? Sometimes, server settings may need adjustment to handle clean URLs. Hope this helps!

I totally understand your frustration! It’s really annoying when things that used to work suddenly break, especially when it affects your site’s functionality.

It sounds like the recent updates might have changed how links are handled. Have you tried checking the settings in Nicepage to see if there's an option to enable or adjust link formats? Sometimes, updates reset certain configurations.

Also, if you’re comfortable with it, you might want to reach out to Nicepage support directly. They may have a fix or workaround for this issue.

Hi,

The option to have links without .HTML extension is only available for Nicepage hosting and it was this way before. If you need to have links without extensions on your own hosting you will need to edit the .htaccess file on your hosting to redirect the links. Some instructions can be found here:

That sounds incredibly frustrating—especially when you're directing prospects to your content only to find out the links are broken! It's like sending someone to take the rice purity test, only to discover the results page is missing! I'm sure there's a clean fix for this, possibly related to how Nicepage now handles clean URLs vs. file-based ones

Hello,

In addition to the above, some hosting environments—especially basic shared hosts or certain FTP setups—don’t automatically rewrite clean URLs to the corresponding .html files unless .htaccess or similar server rules are properly configured.
If your hosting allows it, make sure the .htaccess file is uploaded and supports URL rewriting. This will let clean URLs like /about properly load about.html.
If you’re working in a limited hosting environment, it may be safer to stick with file-based URLs to prevent 404 errors.
