IP Address shows where link name should show...

I installed and developed my site prior to transferring the domain name. I used XOOPS 2.3.3. Now, the domain name has been transferred, but when I click on any of the menu links it uses the original IP address. Is there a way to rectify this. The site is www.kennebeclake.ca

Any help appreciated.

edit /mainfile.php and adapt the definition for XOOPS_URL

Thanks very much , that fixed most of the problem. I still have the IP address showing in the menu bar that goes across the top for xeatol theme.

Which IP address is it? Is it intentional (by the theme)? Log out once to see?
Checked out the site in your first post, but I don't see an IP address. Where does it show exactly?

It is still showing in the userbar above the login text box, even if you have not logged in to the page. I have home, contact and site map there. It is in the xeatol theme.

I looked through some of the theme files and I cannot see the IP itself embedded but I am thinking it may be picking it up from a variable somewhere.

If there is a way to turn off that bar in xeatol even better. I figured it out in the 2 other themes I have so far but not that one.

It might be from an error message like Quote:
Access denied tohttp://66.49.146.117/jseffects/pngbehavior.htc
I don't see it in the screen, but in the error property of IE6. With FF 3.0.11, I also don't see any IP address on the screen.

I see you use this IP address as domain in your URL. In general, this is not recommended. You should use the domain name www.kennebeclake.ca in your mainfile.php for the XOOPS_URL.

For configuration options of the theme see morphogenesis.

Hi,

Regarding "I see you use this IP address as domain in your URL. "
I changed the XOOPS_URL to kennebeclake.ca as you recommended. I don't see the IP address anywhere else in the mainfile.php (except as a comment). I used the "find" to look for it. Can you please clarify if this is what you meant in your last comment?

I am using IE 7 and FF 3.0 (and 3.1).

Regarding not seeing the IP in the screen, if you mouse over the links for home, contact or sitemap in the top user bar, that is where the IP address still shows.

Thanks for the link to configuring the themes.

Yes, It is.

So, you meant the user bar of your browser (and not on the site).
These IP addresses are still hard coded in the theme files (eg /themes/xeatol/theme.html) or leftovers in the cache.
Check the theme files for some hardcoded URL's (normally, it should use Smarty variables xoAppUrl and xoIMGUrl).
Try to empty the cache folders (keep index.html) and updating the system module.
