index page referring to a product...

Yesterday when I went to bed, when you loaded my store from root/shop, everything was good. This morning, when I loaded it, it went to root/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=11538 instead of the welcome page.

Any ideas on why and how to fix this?

Thanks,

Clint

what do you mean by "when you loaded it"? How are you navigating to the site/page? Are you just clicking on some bookmark on your computer? What happens if you just type in https://www.yourstorename.com into the URL bar and hit return?

I've experienced this behavior when we had a product in our root level category..

look at categories/products in your admin - is there a red warning about products in top level categories? if so, you'll need to delete the product or move it to a proper category.. if this isn't the cause, you might want to post a link to the store to get some additional feedback.

Bingo! Thank you. When I did a mass upload, I forgot to place a product in a category. Not so bad to just have one off since I uploaded about 3,000 products last night!

Thanks!

i've found over the years that once in awhile easypopulate will throw a product or two in the top level category (older versions anyway). Normally it should error out and say "no existing category for this new product".. i routinely update thousands of products - so i've just gotten used to checking. Once in awhile i'll get lazy, and get that dreaded phone call.. :)

glad you got it sorted.
