Hi,

HikaShop have a plugin "product insert" (and "product tag") which allow you to insert "products" in some articles.
There is also a plugin for the editor, to help you to add some HikaShop product into articles.
These plugins are in HikaShop essential, you might just have to publish them.

Regards,

Thanks for the feedback.

I made the changes using the HK Tag product insertion plugin. However the link used by the plugin yields an improper url that hides the horizontal menu (Fig 1). How can I modify the product link to point to the correct url?

TIA for any hints.

Fig 1. Wrong product url: The HK product tag redirects products to an url address that causes the menus to be hidden:
...media/index.php/en/component/hikashop/product/1-paper-clip-dispenser-100

[ ![he7fb3f5.jpg](/forum/attachment/16670) ](/forum/attachment/16670 "he7fb3f5.jpg")

Fig 2. Correct product url: Menus are displayed if url is set to:
...media/index.php/en/shop/product-categories/product/1-paper-clip-dispenser-100

Hello,
I just added a new menu ID option through the Product insert plugins, so that you'll be able to force a menu ID to your product link.
Can you :
- Download and install the 2 following files
- Find the ID of your product listing content menu through "Hikashop-&gt;Display-&gt;Content menus"
- Add again your products through your articles by using the "Product" button
- Add your product listing content menu ID through the "menu ID" option
