Linking page to button

[LorraineNorris]

Hi there,

I am having trouble linking a course page to a button on the home page.  I go through the process of:

1: editing home page to allow to link

2: clicking on button and then select the link button and select course links.

3: select page that want.  The button flashes when I click

4: then save 

When I click on button it will not open the link at all.

Is there a step I am missing?

Hello! @LorraineNorris 

I'm sorry to hear your button isn't working! The steps you listed sound to be correct! I would recommend following our guide for How do I clear my browser cache on a PC? and try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, and try again. You may also want try using Chrome or Firefox if you aren't already.

If you continue running into trouble, try contacting Canvas Support and they should be able to take a look into things. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns!

@LorraineNorris -

How are you getting the button on the page?  after you added the link did you look at the html coding to make sure that the link was associated with the button and not a possible space next to it?  I just added an icon using the icon maker and went through the steps you described and that worked fine.

My guess is that it is something with the url code not being added into the button part of what you are seeing.
