Re: Major problem with my shop

Ouch. Although it doesn't directly address this specific problem, I'd recommend that you just stop using the "Classic" template. This is intended primarily for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Zen Cart. It would be better to build your own template from scratch based on the functionality in the template_default. A little more work up front, but much, much easier in the long-term.

If that seems a bit overwhelming, an alternative is to use the Future Zen template which engages template_default for you and gives you somewhere to start from. You can download it from the downloads section of this site and there's a link to the relevant downloads page in my signature below.

But I'd still recommend ditching the "classic " template as you will continue to run into problems using it as it wasn't really designed for new users building new sites.
