mailchimp signup form leads to 404 - html

I have a mailchip signup form in the footer of my site. I've noticed recently that after trying to signup, the user is greeted with a 404:page not found error reading:
MailChimp It seems the page you were looking for has disappeared We’ve
recorded this vanishing act and our team of chimp magicians will find
the missing link.
The form worked perfectly on my old site, I'm not quite sure why it's suddenly stopped- I didn't change anything but the styling.

When you create your MailChimp subscribe form, you have the option to specify your own Thank You page that users are sent to after they subscribe:
http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/can-i-design-and-host-my-own-thank-you-pages-instead-of-using-mailchimps/
Are you sure that MailChimp isn't trying to redirect your users back to a Thank You page of your own... that no longer exists on your end?
Regardless, I'd recommend going through the steps on that page to create a new subscribe form from scratch, specify the options including the Thank You page that you want to use, and place the new embed code in the footer of your website. That should fix whatever is currently broken.

your question is broad,It may have multiple reasons:
1: Compare your old code and new code and see difference if any malicious code is written (includes other pages or script that leads to errors)
2: Check if the Signup page (abc.html etc) file is present on the server and not deleted/Renamed during deployment. Also check nested pages that are included as headers/ footers
3: Some times files are placed in the wrong directory. Make sure particular file is placed at the required location.
please specify what type of page is it and called from which source (JSP/simple html etc).

Saving static HTML page generated with ReactJS

Background:
I need to allow users to create web pages for various products, with each page having a standard overall appearance. So basically, I will have a template, and based on the input data I need the HTML page to be generated for each product. The input data will be submitted via a web form, following which the data should be merged with the template to produce the output.
I initially considered using a pure templating approach such as Nunjucks, but moved to ReactJS as I have prior experience with the latter.
Problem:
Once I display the output page (by adding the user input to the template file with placeholders), I am getting the desired output page displayed in the browser. But how can I now obtain the HTML code for this specific page?
When I tried to view the source code of the page, I see the contents of 'public/index.html' stating:
This HTML file is a template.
If you open it directly in the browser, you will see an empty page.
Expectedly, the same happens when I try to save (Save As...) the html page via the browser. I understand why the above happens.
But I cannot find a solution to my requirement. Can anyone tell me how I can download/save the static source code for the output page displayed on the browser.
I have read possible solutions such as installing 'React/Redux Development Extension' etc... but these would not work as a solution for external users (who cannot be expected to install these extensions to use my tool). I need a way to do this on production environment.
p.s. Having read the "background" info of my task, do let me know if you can think of any better ways of approaching this.
Edit note:
My app is currently actually just a single page, that accepts user data via a form and displays the output (in a full screen dialog). I don't wish to have these output pages 'published' on the website, and these are simply to be saved/downloaded for internal use. So simply being able to get the "source code" for the dislayed view/page on the browser and saving this to a file would solve my problem. But I am not sure if there is a way to do this?
Its recommended that you use a well-known site generator such as Gatsby or Next for your static sites since "npx create-react-app my-app" is for single page apps.
(ref: https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html#recommended-toolchains)
If I'm understanding correctly, you need to generate a new page link for each user. Each of your users will have their own link (http/https) to share with their users.
For example, a scheduling tool will need each user to create their own "booking page", which is a generated link (could be on your domain --> www.yourdomain.com/bookinguser1).
You'll need user profiles to store each user's custom page, a database, and such. If you're not comfortable, I'll use something like an e-commerce tool that will do it for you.
You can turn on the debugger (f12) and go to "Elements"
Then right-click on the HTML tag and press edit as HTML
And then copy everything (ctrl + a)

styled an e-mail in html, now how do i send it?

so i've made styled e-mail but now i don't know how to send it using gmail or any other e-mail platform. Apparently just copying and pasting the code into the e-mail doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks
Interesting question! We have always used a whole tool-stack for these things (e.g. a CMS in which contents are edited and an mailing-tool, which would read the mail content from a URL provided by the CMS).
However, if you do it locally on your machine with Outlook, this link might help (just tried it and it works for me):
http://www.soltech-solutions.com/how-to-import-html-into-outlook-email.html
Note that creating HTML based mail that displays well on many platforms is quite a challenging task with many caveats.
Create a new email, click on “Attach File”. Find your .html file, then, click on the drop down arrow next to “Insert”. Scroll down and click on “Insert as Text”.Your .html file should now be displayed in your e-mail as you were intending. Just make sure to test any of links, etc. before sending.

HTML Form appearing on button press

I am a newbie to web development so sorry for my stupidity. I am actually creating a local website and I wanted to make a user profile page on that website. What I want to accomplish is that the profile page should be not be editable in the normal use case but when the user presses the Edit button (like in facebook), the fields become editable and a save button appears (basically a form but without reloading the page or any server side work). The user then updates the fields and saves. The save request will be sent to the server to update the database (can that somehow be done without reloading the page too ? i see facebook page does not reload when you edit and save).
So that is it. Waiting for a reply.
P.S. I think some javascript code will come to my rescue.
This is a very general question, so I can't do anything but give a general answer. I would highly recommend you learn jQuery.
jQuery makes it easy to manipulate the HTML and CSS from Javascript - which you'll need to do in order to show/hide the content and the forms for editing the content (or otherwise manipulate the code on the page in order to achieve what you want - there are various ways to do this, adriano's comment on your question lays out a good solution).
The specific part about sending such requests in the background is called AJAX, and jQuery has support for that too.

Integrating a Back button

I have this theme http://themes.two2twelve.com/site/fluidapp/light/ installed on my website running wordpress. I converted the template to a wordpress theme by following the steps here: http://thethemefoundry.com/blog/html-wordpress/ and its all working fine.
However, I have now been given the crazy task to integrate a "Back button" function in it.
What they want is to have some sort of Back button functionality (or the browser one) so when they open Team and they press Back - they go back to Home. The template is basically one-paged, you can see so in the source code.
One way I can see this happening is if I make every page a different .php file, upload them to my theme folder and then just hyperlink them. like www.yoursite.com/team.php
Another possible way (I think) would be to create a page.php template file and then post the pages using wordpress. Question: How do I tell wordpress to use page.php as the page template file?
Can you think of another way to integrate this functionality? Thanks a lot in advance.
If it always is going to return the user to the startpage you could just use the home_url(); function.
Back
If you got more advance structure and you want the button to just redirect the user back one page, you should use javascript.
Back
page.php is the default template for wordpress pages. So if no other is selected in admin, page.php will be used.
If you're using javascript to load the new content, you could use javascript pushState()and popState() to log the stuff to new url's, and it gets added to the browser history. Here's an example.

Mediawiki: configuring the entry page, adding a new page

Have a wiki installed in our organization, and want to start using it.
Failed to find the answers for the next 2 basic questions:
How do I configure the entry page to show a list of all existing pages
How do I create a new page (!). Only succeeded doing it by typing a url of an non existing page. Guess there are nicer methods for this
Thanks
Gidi
For how to show a list of all pages, look at DynamicPageList, which is part of MediaWiki. (There's a more advanced third-party version, but it's not needed for such a simple task.)
Creating a new page really is exactly as you said: Type a URL and save some edits. Most beginning editors will edit a link into a page, and then use that link to browse to the page, so that they don't accidentally forget the spelling and lose the page to the Ether. (Of course it would show up in the recently edited and other special pages.)
This is more of a webapps.stackexchange.com question though.
