Profile and hosting links don't work

Post by jessecarrigan » Thu Apr 29, 2021 6:59 am

Does anyone else have the issue of the public profile and hosting links to songs not working? I can't get any of them to work and I can't figure out why. Every link to the song hosting (from the social media links) doesn't work, and my public profile also comes up with an error.

Examples:

https://www.taxi.com/members/2SHAvx59RU ... onic-ocean

https://www.taxi.com/members/jessecarrigan

They work if I'm logged in, but I can't share the links with anyone else.

Interesting. Some links I click on when I'm notified of new songs uploaded (folks I'm following) take me to the error page. I assumed that the tracks were set to 'private'. That may not be the case at all, as both the links you provided error out for me too.

I'd suggest a call or email into the TAXI office; I tried both - same results - the dreaded "404 Error".
Good luck getting it working.

Gave Taxi a call and found out the issue. For some reason my Taxi profile was set to private (either I did that accidentally or it was set that way maybe during the website upgrade), meaning that _no one_ could view anything besides me. Links should now work, if anyone on this thread feels like checking.

There may be others in the same boat. Is it easy for users to check that setting on their page?

Yes, go to 'Edit Profile' when logged in and there's a checkbox right at the top that says 'Public (Viewable by anybody)'. Make sure that's checked (or not, if you want your profile to be double-super-secret).

I was looking for something like that in the profile editor and I completely missed it until I called, but they sorted it right out. :oops:
