Hi,

I've obviously clicked something wrong and I can't find it ![:(](/media/kunena/emoticons/22.png ":(")

My basic url goes to the hikashop product category page rather than the home page. Would you have any idea where I might find my mistake? I've looked and looked and can't figure it out. A few days ago, it was correctly going to the home page, so I'm sure it's something I've done.

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi,

Is your menu going to the home page a Joomla link ? In the menu settings of Joomla is that set correctly ?

Hi, Xavier,

Thanks so much ... I'm pretty much trying to muddle through everything. I'm obviously not on top of all the ins and outs of Joomla and Hikashop. ![:(](/media/kunena/emoticons/22.png ":(")

The link was working fine before I tried to get things done in Hikashop for several days and I probably messed it all up.

This is the link listed in the Main Menu for 'Home' ... index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=featured ... am I looking in the right place for that?

This is the link listed in the Main Menu for 'Shoppe Window' ... index.php?option=com_hikashop&amp;view=category&amp;layout=listing

I appreciate your wisdom!

I have noticed that the 'product category' that the url defaults to is apparently a different one than the one I actually want to use when 'Shoppe Window' is clicked. The 'wrong' one that is defaulted to with url shows the subcategories. I wonder if that one is unpublished if that would fix the issue. That would be a module, correct? My problem, if that is the case, how do I find that? Sorry, I know that's a dumb question.

Hi,

Your home page seems to be using the menu with the id "193", which is indeed a hikashop category listing menu.
The "Shoppe Window" use the menu with the id "161".

So in the Joomla menu items, you should select the menu with the alias "homepage" as default menu instead of the menu with the id "193".

Xavier, thank you so much. You are amazing!

The default menu was not set ... with your wisdom I set the default and it (of course!) works! Such a relief.

Thank you, thank you once again!

Blessings to you and your loved ones.
