Hi, I need to install grav in a secondary directory. I tried different ways but nothing. Where and what I have to change? Everytime grav system get out a terrible error 404… Help, please!

The same problem. GRAV installed in the subfolder “html/demo” “html” - is root hosting folder, like “www”, “public” etc. Index page at “ http://domen.com/demo ” opens successfully. In main menu the absolute links like “/blog”, “/services”, etc. The links works “ http://domen.com/blog ”, “ http://do…

I just tried it again. Still treated as “ domain.com/blog ”

Yes. Like described on https://getgrav.org/blog/theme-development-with-inheritance . from user/config/system.yaml “pages: theme: areal order: by: default dir: asc”

Ok. It is quite likely that your theme is creating links with href=/blog etc. Can you post the theme’s navigation snippet?

{% macro nav_loop(page) %} {% for p in page.children.visible %} {% set active_page = (p.active or p.activeChild) ? ‘active’ : ‘’ %} {% if p.children.visible.count > 0 %} {{ p.menu }} {{ _self.nav_loop§ }} {% else %} {{ p.menu }} {% endif %} {% endfor %} {% endmacro…

But I’m using absolute links in menu, like: <a class="nav-link" href="/blog">Blog</a> </li> <li class="nav-item "> <a class="nav-link" href="/forms/contact">Contact</a> </li>

Alright. Just update the links like so - <a class="nav-link" href="{{ base_url }}/blog">Blog</a>

Great success! It works! :joy: How can I thank you?

Have you also tried setting ‘Custom base URL’ setting in the system configuration?
