Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

Is this on the site in your signature?

If so, your URL is being built wrong and with that is the SEO stuff you are using or your configure.php file ...

View Source and you will see there are things built for the page ...

Turn off the SEO stuff, does this correct the problem?

I turned off SEO and still does not work...

What do you mean by... is this on the site in your signature?

Re: Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

I wanted to confirm that the site you are trying to fix is the site in your signature ...

You have a problem with your URLs and have the double slashes in them ...

Fixing these could resolve a number of problems ...

Check your files:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

and see if you have extra slashes in them causing this problem ...

I see // in both files. So, I should take the //away from line like this one..... define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.burnerbooks.com');

It should look like.... define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http:/www.burnerbooks.com');

Re: Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

No, that is part of the URL ... just like any website ...

If you could post, from the server, without your username and password, your file:
/includes/configure.php

If you could post, from the server, without your username and password, your file:
/includes/configure.php

here is the /includes/configure.php file

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '//');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '//');

  define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
  define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
  define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
  define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
  define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
  define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
  define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
  define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');

  define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
  //the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
  define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/no name/public_html//');

  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
  define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
  define('DIR_WS_UPLOADS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'uploads/');
  define('DIR_FS_UPLOADS', DIR_FS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_UPLOADS);
  define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');

// define our database connection
  define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
  define('DB_PREFIX', '');
  define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
  define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'no name');
  define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'no name');
  define('DB_DATABASE', 'no name');
  define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');
  // for STORE_SESSIONS, use 'db' for best support, or '' for file-based storage

  // The next 2 "defines" are for SQL cache support.
  // For SQL_CACHE_METHOD, you can select from:  none, database, or file
  // If you choose "file", then you need to set the DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE to a directory where your apache 
  // or webserver user has write privileges (chmod 666 or 777). We recommend using the "cache" folder inside the Zen Cart folder
  // ie: /path/to/your/webspace/public_html/zen/cache   -- leave no trailing slash  
  define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none'); 
  define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/no name/public_html//cache');

// EOF

I replaced passwords and usernames, etc with no name. I also did not load first part of file with url names.

Thanks.

Re: Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

These are wrong:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '//');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '//');

Should be:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

This is wrong:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/no name/public_html//');

Should be:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/no name/public_html/');

This is wrong:

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/no name/public_html//cache');

Should be:

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/no name/public_html/cache');

I don't know what you have on the server URLs as you did not post them, but those are the ones that I see that are bad and causing issues ... :blink:

Re: Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

I do not believe you are updating the files on the server with the new files ...

If the permissions are set to 444 then you cannot overwrite them with your new files ...

Delete the files on the server and load the new files ...

If you have them set correctly, then you should not see the double // in the URL ...

Re: Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

NOTE: while trying to fix things, turn off the SEO stuff so that is not breaking things as we are helping you ... thanks :smile:

I re-loaded and set permissions from server. I do not see // as go thru pages.

Specials still do not work.....

Re: Specials Sidebox showing on home page only

Check your stylesheet for your template ... specifically:

#logo, .centerBoxContents, .specialsListBoxContents {
display: none;
}
