I was hosting my site on Github Pages and just switched to Netlify and change the DNS settings to point to Netlify (from Namecheap). I deployed it from my git repo (after removing it from pages). The site is live pwenterprises.netlify.app and deployment worked fine but none of the buttons on my si…

Hello Nathan, Thanks for your response. But I haven’t changed any of the code so I’m not sure why this is an error now? It’s been like this for the past year.

@pwe That largely doesn’t matter. The end result is that there is an error. It may not be the main error you’re encountering, but it is an error and probably a good place to start, since it’s what you questioned.

@pwe See: [image] nathanmartin: It may not be the main error you’re encountering, but it is an error and probably a good place to start, As predicted you’ve now determined that specific error isn’t causing your main error, great work. Now you just keep debugging. Here’s a pointer, if I wer…

[image] pwe: Okay but I know I mentioned this but the issue started happening when I migrated to netlify. I know you mentioned it, I’m saying again it’s largely irrelevant. You can’t debug from that perspective, you can only debug from what you can actually see, the errors that are occurring…
