Easy Tech TutsHow to Fix Links Not Working on Wix Easily 2026
By Impran M N
Broken links on a Wix site usually come down to a handful of common causes: bad URL formatting, layout elements blocking the clickable area, or misconfigured anchor targets. This guide walks through auditing and fixing each of these so navigation works reliably across desktop and mobile.
01Find the broken link
Open your site editor and locate the text or button element whose link isn't working.
02Open the link settings
Click the link icon on the element to open its target destination settings.
03Check the URL formatting
Review external URLs for missing protocol prefixes or incorrect domain suffixes that could break the link.
04Verify internal redirects and anchors
For internal links, confirm the page and anchor point references are still correctly aligned.
05Check for overlapping elements
Review your layer order, since an invisible box positioned above your link can silently block clicks.
06Preview on desktop and mobile
Use the live preview tool to click through your links on both device views before publishing.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my link work on desktop but not mobile?
This is often caused by an overlapping element or different layer order in the mobile layout blocking the clickable area.
What's a common formatting mistake that breaks external links?
Forgetting the https:// protocol prefix or entering an incorrect domain suffix are common causes of broken external links.
How do I fix a link that's supposed to jump to a section on the same page?
Check that the anchor point still exists and that the link is correctly pointed to that specific anchor rather than the page itself.
Should I test links before or after publishing?
Always test in preview mode first, since it lets you catch and fix broken links before they're live for visitors.
