    Default Update URL for Home Button on Navigation Bar

    I re-directed my website and the home button on the navigation bar and footer does not work. Which file(s) do I edit to update the URL.

    As you are having your site load as if it were at the root why not relocate it there and get rid of the redirect?

    I moved the folder to the root and and made the necessary changes to config.php. This resolved the problem. Thanks again!

    If search engines have already indexed URLs of your site using the folder name you will need to install a redirect if you want to preserve that traffic - otherwise all your visitors coming from Google and other search results will only see the "Error 404" message.

    There's code for that in http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...=150620&page=2



    These two searches are useful:
    http://www.google.com/search?num=100....za+-inurl:www
    http://www.google.com/search?num=100...zmobeach.co.za

    Also, make sue that you sign up for Google WebmasterTools where you will be able to see what Google thinks about your site. There's valuable insights to be gained.
