For some reason I assigned a page to a button but it has the link void after published. Any ideas? I don’t know if this a Rapidweaver issue or a Foundation Stacks one.

Try deleting the link and reseting it.

My guess is that you deleted the wrong one.  
RapidWeaver will change a file from `.html` to `.php` automatically if you add a stack to the the page that requires PHP to work. To my knowledge, it doesn’t do the reverse. It won’t change the extension back to HTML if you remove the PHP stack.

It’s probably best to check the page inspector first before you delete either index file and see what one is needed. When RapidWeaver changes the extension it updates the file name in the page inspector.

A URL would make it easier for people to help you out.
