Turn off that option and that should avoid the problem.

I'm assuming I do not need Menu Items for HikaShop other than the default page correct? When HikaShop is installed there are a couple menus created "HikaShop hidden" and "HikaShop default". do I need these? At first I was assuming that HikaShop would not generate the necessary SEF URLS without Joomla menu options present, but this does not seem to be the case, it seems to do fine on it's own. HikaShop has a bunch of menu items available: Affiliate program Cart Display Cart listing Categories listing Checkout Comparison page Contact page Customer download space Customer orders Entry registration Product page Products listing Registration form User addresses User control panel When would you need to use these? Only if you wanted to provide a direct link to that particular function of HikaShop through a different menu?

You don't need an "entry registration" menu item if you don't have an entry form configured on your website to accept registrations to an event for example. A category listing menu item should be enough to access your shop, browse, the categories, the products and checkout. And a user control panel menu item should be enough to access the user addresses, orders history, affiliate program (if activated), carts listing (if activated), etc. The following user(s) said Thank You: [superdmon](/forum/user/37518-superdmon "View superdmon's Profile") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzMtYnVnLXJlcG9ydC84Nzg3MzQtcHJvZHVjdC1saXN0aW5nLW5vdC1saW5raW5nLXRvLXByb2R1Y3QtcGFnZT90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[superdmon](/forum/user/37518-superdmon "View superdmon's Profile")** - [![superdmon's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/37518-superdmon "View superdmon's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/37518-superdmon) Less More - Posts: 63 - Thank you received: 0 - - - [](http://www.bitstormweb.com) - 11 years 2 months ago [\#211559](#211559) by [superdmon](/forum/user/37518-superdmon "View superdmon's Profile") Replied by *[superdmon](/forum/user/37518-superdmon "View superdmon's Profile")* on topic *[Product listing not linking to product page](/forum/3-bug-report/878734-product-listing-not-linking-to-product-page#211559 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.3 I attached a URL to this post.
