File pathing can be tricky at first. For quick reference, have a look at this W3 Tutorial.
The thing you have to keep in mind when working with multiple folders and multiple files is that they have a tree structure, and you can get to every element by going through specific folders, where folders act like branches.
In this example the entry point -or the root folder- is project. That's the base of the tree from which everything else follows. So if you want to go to articles, you one level down. A change in level downwards is indicated by a forward slash "/". So if you want to navigate to articles it's as follows: /articles Now you are in the articles folder but only in the folder. If you want to access the article.html file, you have to go through the "2017" folder and then point towards the html itself. It looks like this: /articles/2017/article.html
It's all compared to the current folder that we are in, in this case the "project" folder -because that's where index.html is.
Now that you are in the "2017" folder, if you want to navigate to an upper folder, you have to use "../"
So basically you have a move up "../" command, a move down "/{name_of_the_folder_or_file}" command and that's it. You just have to make sure that the pathing and naming and correct.
For pathing, you can basically copy the way from how you would navigate through folders in your operating system. For naming, you just have to be precise, and if you are sure that the pathing is correct, then the problem is probably with the naming.
Hope I could help!
Good luck, GergΕ
