    Default Strange problem: Category not coming up, a product instead

    This is odd. Suddenly a parent category isn't working. When you go to it, it brings up a product from within it instead!

    I had changed nothing. It just started doing this all on its own.

    Any ideas?

    If I go to Chocolate - Salted Chocolate it seems to work OK.

    No, you cant view the page now. The link I provided used to be the parent category with a page that has all the sub category images/links. Now when you click Chocolate it takes you to a salted chocolate product, NOT the parent category with all the sub-category links.

    Something is broken all of a sudden.

    See this page for salt: http://www.atthemeadow.com/shop/inde...=index&cPath=1

    You'll notice all the sub category images/links on that page. Chocolate has the same thing, but for some odd reason its just redirecting to a product now.

    Anyone have an idea why this would happen?

    Is the product in the top level category instead of one of the subcategories? Categories can contain subcategories OR products but not both.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Well there you go! It somehow got "copied" to that parent and was making it do that. Why didn't I think of that?

    Thanks so much for pointing that out. A weight is lifted!
