  Hi there,

  In the Navigation Menu, when selecting a destination link don’t paste in the URL, but type in the name of the page, and then select it when it comes up.

  The URLs you provided for the navigation menu are internal links for your usage only. Doing the method as describe above will allow WordPress to create the correct links.

  To read more about the Navigation Block you can go here: https://wordpress.com/support/full-site-editing/theme-blocks/navigation-block/

  Hope that helps.

  Hi there,

  To add to @normalusername52’s reply, all the links you have added to your menu are links to the editor-view of your pages, so they’ll only work for you. Those instead need to link to the URLs for the pages on your site itself.

  Using the method provided above, i.e. adding the pages themselves in the navigation block, will ensure that the correct links are used.

  Hi there,

  The links seem to be working at the moment.

  I notice that one of the links opens in a new tab. If you want to remove that behavior, select the link in the Navigation Block. A menu should pop up, select Link button or press CTRL/CMD+K, and deselect the Open in new tab button.

  Hope that helps.
