Hello,

Since a couple of days I have the problem that when I go to the item I get this error: Default Layout file is not exists! Please goto to template manager and create a new layout first.

All the other parts of the site work well and also you can go through the menu's but when go to a product details I get the error.

I looked everywhere for the answer but can't find anything. Can you help because this way my site is useless.

Thank you and regards!

Hi,

In the HikaShop configuration, and in each product edit form and in each category edit form, you can find a setting called "Layout on product page".
This error indicates that you must have selected a particular layout file which you then deleted and thus the system cannot find it anymore when trying to display the product details pages with that layout.
So you need to check that setting (probably the one in the HikaShop configuration, to set it to "default" and then save the configuration once. That should make these pages work again.

Hello Nicolas,

I have tried what you proposed but still nothing. I noticed that SH404 is giving trouble so I switched it off but that didn't make any difference only that now it goes to the right categories.

As far as I know I didn't delete anything and left it working. Do you have more suggestions?

Hi,

So I searched a bit more and looked at the situation on your website.
The error "Default Layout file is not exists! Please goto to template manager and create a new layout first." seems to be caused by the template assignation of menu items:
docs.warptheme.com/troubleshooting/default-layout
So check the template setting of the menu item with the alias "menu-item-for-category-listing-module-152" and make sure your template is selected there and save it once. It should hopefully help.
