Just to add that I may have misled you earlier when I suggested that you used Verify Links. I had forgotten that it identifies problems with external links, not internal links which is where you have a problem. Apologies. Normally the program keeps track of internal links but that only happens if you amend the original page but it doesn't know about any new pages that you add unless you redirect the link.

If you want to easily change all pages to lower case, look at right hand side of the WYSIWYG program and you will see "Site Manager". In that box are all your pages. RIght click on any with some upper case letters and one option is "Rename". Click that and change it to all lower case.

You can then check your links (as Brian said) and make sure they are all lower case - or change it as my pictures above have shown.

In general, I always ensure that my pages are named all lower case and have no spaces or other special characters in it.

I am just beside myself....I have spent a whole week on this and you guys have been amazing for all your help....I know It’s getting closer but half my site is still a 404.
Do you all have anyone I can just hire to fix this...I am so frustrated?

I am not a professional but would be willing to help you to repair the links for free. If you would like to send me your .wbs file, I will see if I can tidy things up for you. I am in the UK so there may be a bit of delay.

You should be able to find the .wbs file in the WYSIWYG Web Builder folder in your Documents - when you open that folder you will see some other folders as well as a file with the name of your project - that file is the .wbs file. Send it as an attachment to my email and I will see what I can do.
