For some reason, I can’t get the offsite page (which is part of the Rapidweaver install) to work. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. I’m using RW 7 and Foundation theme. [http://waesol.org/c/volunteers/](http://waesol.org/c/volunteers/) should go to > **[WAESOL Conference Volunteers](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1N_x9XOJCFq5FJKSGp8BdAOYVF-uMwUQQq_MG-zAANXs/edit#heading=h.nxh9b9qlh353)** > > WAESOL 2016 Conference Room Monitor Volunteer Sign up and Instructions Please read the instructions at the bottom of this page under the sign up section.

It looks like you are trying in Offsite a secure page, https, into a non secure page, http. Secure pages don’t like to do that because they are secure and your page is not ---

I’m redirecting to a Google Docs page in which the permissions are set to Anyone with the link can view. Yes it’s https… I don’t understand why that would matter in this case if the permissions are set to anyone can view. I’ve done this for years and it always has worked. ---

Yes, it’s going to a page not found on my Wordpress site. I own the domain and upload to that root directory. There’s also a Wordpress installation in that directory, but that should not make any difference. ---

Doug. Here are some screen shots. The first shows my Rapidweaver project and the Google docs opening in the view mode in Rapidweaver. [![CloudApp](https://d3vv6lp55qjaqc.cloudfront.net/items/0h3k2P2s1Z253d1o0Q1h/Image%202016-10-03%20at%201.07.35%20PM.png "Image 2016-10-03 at 1.07.35 PM.png") ](https://cl.ly/3H1m3X2k1R1D) The second shows my folder name for the Offsite page. [![CloudApp](https://d3vv6lp55qjaqc.cloudfront.net/items/2p1a2l2Y0D0u0P0p1W3S/Image%202016-10-03%20at%201.08.34%20PM.png "Image 2016-10-03 at 1.08.34 PM.png") ](https://cl.ly/3X0w2z2U2j2c) Thus it should open in [http://waesol.org/volunteers/](http://waesol.org/volunteers/) (For your information, I changed it to this link above (now in the root directory) from [http://waesol.org/c/volunteers/.)](http://waesol.org/c/volunteers/.)) I have another offsite page in this directory that is working okay. For example, [http://waesol.org/angela/](http://waesol.org/angela/) ---

If you are linking from outside the outside: `http://waesol.org/volunteers/` a 404 would tell you that that page (index.html or index.php) does not exist. I would use transmit (or another FTP client) to go and check. ---

Good point. I’m not seeing the volunteers directory in my root folder. I’ll try to figure out why.
