I’ve added several new images to my carousel that was working perfectly and still rotates fine but the “Next” and “Previous” links have stopped working. I cannot find what the cause could be - the “Carousel next” and Carousel prev" code blocks look OK and the div tag referencing the carousel1 id is intact. Anyone know where I should look or what to look for to see what I broke? There are over 130 images in this carousel so the next and previous function is important and should be fixed. Here’s the URL to the page: [https://nittanyleathernecks.com/slider\_archived\_test.html](https://nittanyleathernecks.com/slider_archived_test.html) (images won’t display but you can review the code via “View Page Source”). ---

Hi randyrie, The JS is referenced twice. Remove one of the instances. ![Screenshot_20191122-205655_Chrome](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/8/85da72cc1a2b383be7b82d80528dd780269f0ef5.jpeg) ---

@SureWeb Thanks for your advice - I removed the second instance of the JS but that did not resolve the issue. Seems the hyperlink area is not working… normally when I scroll over the area shown, my mouse cursor turns into the hand indicating the area is a link. This no longer works so I think whatever code delineates this as an image link is broken. Any ideas how I can repair this? ![previous_area](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/5/5e312fed585ad19e083cef73767381d60b859099.jpeg) ---

I gave up trying to figure what the problem was and simply remade the page… so it is working now. Thanks @Printninja for checking though… if anyone, you probably would have found what was causing the issue. ---

Great to hear… I have another issue to solve. Perhaps you can Sherlock this one? This htacess code should redirect from an old site on [http://hlaa-centralpa.biz.tc](http://hlaa-centralpa.biz.tc) to the new site on [https://rjrwebz.com/hlaa](https://rjrwebz.com/hlaa) but doesn’t work. Any ideas what’s wrong with the code? \*\* RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER\_PORT} 80 RewriteCond %{HTTP\_HOST} ^(www.)?[rjrwebz.com/hlaa.com](http://rjrwebz.com/hlaa.com) RewriteRule ^(.\*)$ [https://rjrwebz.com/hlaa/$1](https://rjrwebz.com/hlaa/%241) [R,L] \*\* ---

The redirect seems to work fine for me. ---

Yes the redirect works but only because I’ve added a URL redirect to the index page via a meta tag along with a JS script as insurance. This works but it does flash the old page for split second before the redirect opens the index page on the new site - which won’t happen if I can get the htacess to work and remove the redirect meta tag and the JS. Do you see anything noticeably wrong with the code I’ve written for the htacess file? ---

Honestly, I don’t see any significant mistakes - this is just because I’m not really able to read code of that kind. The one I’m used to use does not specify any URL (which might be wrong - but working though): `RewriteEngine On` `RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on` `RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]` Might that be of help? Cheers Thomas ---

> [@Thomas](#): > > `RewriteEngine On` > `RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on` > `RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]` * * * @Thomas This “Rewrite Rule” is for converting a non secure request (http) into a secured one (http **s** ). When the request is already using http **s** , the condition is not valid/match and this rule is going to be ignored and is not in affect! ---

This htacess code should redirect from an old site on [http://hlaa-centralpa.biz.tc](http://hlaa-centralpa.biz.tc) to the new site on [HLAA](https://rjrwebz.com/hlaa) but doesn’t work.

You’ve all exceeded my knowledge on the subject. I’ve only modified an htaccess file once in my life, and I just followed instructions I was given. Anytime I need to redirect an old domain to a new one, I do it through the domain registrar’s DNS settings page. ---

Thank @Marf for your explanation. Last night, I ultimately went with a simple, single \*\*Redirect 301 “/” “[https://www.rjrwebz.com/hlaa/](https://www.rjrwebz.com/hlaa/)” \*\* line in the htacess file which works perfectly. I do not know or understand what the **[R=301,L]** part means or does so I’ve omitted it.
