Hello,

I’m aware that the something changed in the master pages’ url mapping in version 5.7. **Sadly, the new version breaks all the links that were perfectly mapped so far, when ‘Update the whole project’ is run.** The bug consistently appears in all my Pinegrow projects, that – by the way – has a conventional/nothing special folder structure. Has anyone else experienced this?

The issue apply to both `<img>` and `<link>` tags. So far I’ve used only relative urls on the master pages, which were perfectly mapped on pages that used them. **Please see a screenshot of a GitHub repo, with unwanted changes highlighted on a page that uses a master.**

 ![Jegyzet%202019-08-15%20163201](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex036/uploads/pinegrow/original/2X/2/250a8cf3533d1a9a80831dc8ebb6e44e4825a384.png)

As a workaround I can change the relative urls on the master page to root-relative urls which don’t break links on other pages, but images linked ‘root-relatively’ aren’t displayed in editor, which is a known bug, so it isn’t a perfect solution either.

You shouldn’t make these large changes to core and how urls are mapped without notifying users first – imagine how difficult it may be for beginners to find out what went wrong with their website. As well, there was actually nothing to fix in terms of url mapping – if relative urls were used on master pages, links were perfectly mappend on pages that used them, without doing anything proactively.

I’m on Windows 10 Pro.

Kind regards,  
Márton Lente

UPDATE: It seems version 5.7 ‘only’ breaks links, that aren’t within `<a>` tags. I mean, links actually work, but all paths that aren’t within `<a>` tags consistently break.

Hello,

Are there any updates on this? Still can’t use the latest 5.7 version until this major bug is present.

Thanks,

Hi @martonlente, 5.7 doesn’t correctly resolve urls that contain …/… (up two levels or more). This will be fixed in the next update, out soon. I also added some logging information to see if there is also an issue with url mapping on Windows.

Thanks for letting us know about the issue.

Hello @matjaz,

Thanks for the information, and the clarification on the mysterious issue!

I’m looking forward to version 5.8, and staying with 5.6 until it’s out.

Kind regards,
