I keep getting 404 Errors in my footer links

Has anyone run into the links in the footer giving 404 errors at times? Sometimes it happens, other times not. I've had this happen on the blog I just sold, and don't know why it happens. In the footer section, I'm using quotations like this: " instead of the ' that is by default in there. Could that have something to do with it?

This is the permalink on the page I published:http://www.mydomainname.org/ftc-disclosure/ (i didn't insert that last / - it just ends up there).

This is what I've got in the footer area: <a href="http://www.mydomainname.org/contact-us">Contact Us</a> | <a href="http://www.mydomainname.org/legaldisclaimer/">Legal Disclaimer</a> | <a href="http://www.mydomainname.org/ftc-disclosure/"> FTC Disclosure </a> <br/>Copyright © 2009 My Domain Name. All Rights Reserved.

The Contact Us page was created with a plugin and is causing no problems at all. It's the Legal Disclaimer (not created with a plugin) and the FTC Disclosure (created with a plugin) that are not reliably working.

What could be the problem? Thanks.

Try adding complete URL as "http://www.yourdomain.com/subpage"

Hi Kim,

Well as you have provided the links, simply see why they are wrong and change them ! Or am I missing something.

$default_footer_content holds this info and is in the functions.php file

Dave, the reason I'm asking is because they are not working no matter what I try. I will go in and try a few other things. Never had this problem before with my other sites.

Maybe it's a permalink thing.

You want something like this...

/%postname%
with no trailing slash.

Simply open the pages in browser whom links you placed in footer, copy exact links and replace footer links with new ones.

My permalinks are set up /%postname%.html
Actually now that I looked at another site, I notice it has the same problem. Here is the one site: http://www.highcholesteroltips.org . I have used <a href="http://www. and tried <a href="http:high without the www. to see if it makes a difference, but it doesn't . I do not know what can be the problem. I never had this issue with Superadsense Themes.

The other thing I should mention is that it sometimes works, other times not. It's not consistent.
