SharePoint HTML Page Links Not Working? Heres How to Fix Them!

 

Suppose you create or upload an HTML page to the SharePoint Site Pages 

 

 

However, you may notice that some links work while others don't. When this happens, you might see the following error message:

 "This link can't be opened because your organization doesn't allow access to this site. "

Microsoft supports only the following types of links when rendering HTML pages in SharePoint.

🔗Links within the same site
🔗Links within the same tenant

🔗Links that support navigation between pages

 

And the follow type are not supported by Default 

🔗Links to another Microsoft 365 tenant
🔗Links outside of SharePoint

 

So How can we fix it?

If a link doesn't open on your page, the destination may not be from an approved domain. This is expected behavior and is part of how SharePoint securely renders HTML pages.

To allow the link, a site administrator must add the domain to the site's allow list.

 

Go to Site Setting Gear Icon and Choose Site Information

 

 

 Choose "View all Site Settings"

 

 

Select HTML Field Security.

 

Add the relevant domain to the allow list - Remove Prefix like Https://

Save your changes and refresh the page.

 

Once the domain is allowed, the link should open correctly.
