Linked List Problem

[Paul McKenzie]

this is very true! But being a beginner I am trying to fully understand the basics and learn from problems like this. Any suggestions or is more code needed? I feel like I am missing some rule here.

Let me ask you:

Is your goal

1) To finish your program for your brother's website, bug-free and easy to maintain, probably in a matter of hours, if not minutes,

or

2) learn C++ up to the intermediate level, which may take weeks if not months, so that you know how to handle dynamically allocated memory properly?

Professional C++ programmers use std::list, and that is part of the "basics". Those basics entail learning how to use the C++ standard library properly.

Dynamic memory allocation and properly using pointers is not a beginner topic. Leave that alone until you take a data structures course in school. In the C++ programming world, most programmers use the standard library.
