    Before I delete this cart to reinstall, is there a way to salvage the products keyed in rather than to have to key in all the products again?

    There is a mod called Easy Populate that will do that.

    Here's another - if it were me, I'd backup the database and then re-install the includes folder from a new zip file over top what you have now. Your overrides would still be there, but anything that got corrupted would be fixed.

    Doesn't look like you have much to lose.

    Then I'd delete all the non-template override files.

    Your cart is, in fact showing 'New Products' in place of Product Listing. I don't think you could do that with just template changes.

    Thats just it, I really haven't done all that much to change things other than using the settings in the way that I need to. (installed, added the template, changed settings on the shipping module, added the paypal payment info, then basically started keying in products and info)

    But indeed at this point I have nothing to lose, I've already lost the time invested and have gotten nowhere so I may try doing that.

    I just added the bottom previous - next buttons or links and now I can clearly see how the products themselves are not showing in the categories and what is actually showing is the "new" products. What DrByte posted actually makes sense now but without that type of clarification I had no clue as to what he was referring to.

    I'm so frustrated at this point I'm really not sure which path to take in resolving the issues, another week of starting over and praying things work when I get back to this point or trudging through trying to find the broken issues. Either way I've looked at this stuff until my eyes are crossed.


    Thank you again stevesh, I value your input.

    What happens if you switch your template (via the admin) back to classic?

    Same result, have a look www.veeswan.com/Cart

    Same problem just a more scrunched up version of it apparently..

    You would think it is something simple as it is seemingly just a setting but I honestly don't know where else to look, I've gone over every page for the last 8- 12 days..

    There is one page that has settings that I don't quite understand but I don't think its the culprit. Under configuration - All listing

    the first 9 values are all 4 digit numbers (1102, 1202, 1300 etc) and since they didn't make sense to me I left them as is.
