404 Page Not Found

I can't seem to get my folders or galleries to display when selected from the mega menu. I get a 404 error for both.
Please see...
test.merelyafleshwound.com
then go to the Mountaineering section.
When Mountaineering is selected the two sub folders will be displayed... but when I click on the sub folder I get a 404 error.
When I select an item from the mega menu... I also get a 404 error.
Please advise

ok... I figured this one out.
X3 will not display a folder or the folder's contents if there is a space in the folder's name.
All of my content is from my X2 site... and given that X2 uses the folder name for the menu entry... I needed spaces in my folder name so I didn't have to add a separate label for every folder.
Karl... will X3 support spaces in folder names?

I was just checking around your website and discovered the same. I will need to look into this issue, although technically you should not be using spaces in folder names because:
1. nobody%20likes%20seeing%20this
2. there are no benefits

Folder names are
NOT used as titles.
Folder names makes the URL, while the
TITLE setting for the page is used to create the title:
title: My page title here with spaces and basically any text I want

ok,
the "galleries" subfolder is called "landscapes" and i changed the title: to "about us"
but then in the navigation there is still "landscapes" and not "about us".
How to get a menu item like "about us" then?
thx

Just write your title 'about us' in the page settings :
Title: About us
label:
description:
context:
layout:
modules:
gallery:
disqus:
content: |

Actually, the mega menu used the "label" field and not "title", because it wants to get a short version of the title. I might need to fix this to fallback to title instead of the folder name/slug, but for now, please use the
LABEL, which will always be prioritized in the menu.
The reason we have TITLE and LABEL, is for SEO and usability. While the TITLE should/could be a descriptive sentence up to 60-70 chars, that benefits SEO and social sharing, the LABEL should be a short/concise option for the menu, perhaps 1-2 words max.
