How to Prevent Your Links from Breaking

This How-to applies to: 2.5

In version of Kupu 1.4 and up, there is a function called "Link using UIDs" that will keep links from breaking, should you move the location of page or other content item.


Let's say you have a link on one of your pages that points to a .pdf file. If that file happens to get moved to a different folder on your site, the link between the page and file would break. Kupu now offers a way to prevent this from happening.

First, you need to access your Kupu settings. They are found via the Site Setup link, usually found in the upper right corner of your website near the Search box.

Click on the Site Setup link. You should now see a screen that looks something like this:

Look for the Kupu visual editor (the one with the butterfly) and click on it. Now make sure that the Link using UIDs box is checked. You can also enable captioned images from here. Be sure to push Save at the bottom of the page, when you're done.
