New install problem with products


Recommended Posts

So after a web host change I decided to start over with a fresh install. I set up all my categories, image and download folders set up and loaded and finally get to add products. The problem is that when I try to test them in the live store clicking on a category or popular product, even searching for the item does no good because when you click on the item the URL shows it correctly but all I get is a picture of the home page. It does not bring up the item. What did I do wrong?   

EDIT Every link I click on shows the URL changing but never leaves the home page. 

The site is whitewillowstitching.com

Please be sure that:
* the .htaccess file has the proper URL rewrite directives
* the hosting environment's web server has URL rewriting enabled
* the hosting environment's web server has .htaccess overrides allowed

Looking at the page's source in the browser, the canonical link in the <head> section looks weird:

<link href="https://whitewillowstitching.com/index.php?url=majestic-bald-eagle-cross-stitch-pdf-chart.html" rel="canonical">

Please check if there may be some extra directives in the .htaccess file that would affect any rewrite rules.

Also, in the Homepage document's image, the URL is using a full non-secure (http) format, while the page is being sent securely (https). This may trip up some browsers as having mixed content - which could deny the request.

To fix this, in the Homepage document editor, the image properties dialog box, either start the URL with // or just a single slash (or just the filename if the file is in the root directory).

I also see that the request for this image is 301 bounced to use a secure (https) URL. So, there is a specific directive in the .htaccess file or a general directive in the Cpanel configuration for the site.
