CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) A while ago, someone worked on my back-end store (maybe a year? More) and they set up a redirect through the back office (not cpanel of my hosting) that redirects traffic to a certain page once a certain page is visited. It's urgent that i now have that redirect moved, but have no idea how to do it. Please, someone help Whenever someone visits www.bryankollar.com/coffeeguy, the first thing they see is "new arrivals, popular, and best sellers." I want it to display the first tab in my store, which is "KCups." Please, I really need help asap. 😞 I can't do a redirect in CPANEL because it would be an endless loop since it was done in the backoffice part of my site. Edited May 3, 2020 by CoffeeGuy
toplakd Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 New arrivals/Popular/Best sellers are not there because of redirect. They are showing on home page because you have this modules installed and hooked into displayHomeTab
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 Oh my, thank you for responding so quickly. Can you tell me how to unhook this please?
toplakd Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 As said, no redirect was made in back office as such behaviour is standard with stock theme and those 3 modules installed. You can either uninstall those 3 modules or unhook them from displayHomeTab in modules/positions , this means home page center column will be therefore empty.
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 And thank you once again for the response. One last question.... I'm not even sure what 3 modules to uninstall. Can you tell me which ones so I can see what it looks like with those uninstalled? I can just disable them to check it out and re-enable if needed. Thank you!
toplakd Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 If you uninstall those 3 modules, you will also loose them in left column. New producst / Popular / Best Sellers.
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 I found new products and best sellers, disabled those. All that's left is popular, and I can't find how to disable that. If I disable popular, then my main page will show ?
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) OK, I disabled featured and have nothing in my main window. So how do I get my main store to display? Thanks again and again! Edited May 3, 2020 by CoffeeGuy
toplakd Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 You have you main store displayed. This is how main page looks without any modules showing on front page. If you want to start with a particular category, you should make redirect of home page
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 But I do... In CPANEL I setup a redirect from:https://bryankollar.com/coffeeguy to https://bryankollar.com/coffeeguy/kcups Still just shows https://bryankollar.com/coffeeguy
the.rampage.rado Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Dude, I think you are in deep trouble because you are failing to understand how this system works. If you need to show something on homepage and you see it in other parts of your site redirects ARE NOT the way to go. Just tell us what you want to do? You want to show all your products on the homepage or what? Do you need some banners or sliders there or just products?
toplakd Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) He wants that his home page is redirected to desired category. Or other way, he wants his category to be the home landing page. Edited May 3, 2020 by toplakd
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks guys, and so sorry. 😞 Yes, I want people to see kcups on my main page when they first visit my site. I want them to see this page:https://bryankollar.com/coffeeguy/kcups And yes, I do absolutely need to understand the basics Edited May 3, 2020 by CoffeeGuy

Or other way, he wants his category to be the home landing page. I understood that but I want him to start learning the system because if I say "You should not do that in this way!" He/she will continue to try to do it because he/she is not understanding the basics... Edited May 3, 2020 by the.rampage.rado 1
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 Anything else you guys can do to help me learn/do what I need it to do please?
the.rampage.rado Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I don't have this theme on any of my sites so I can't advise what module (from those that come with the system) to activate in order to show the needed products as in category. I would not do it that way though... I will show some simple slider or some banners (2 or 3) and then under that I will show single line slider with the needed products. If you have 2 pages with identical (or nearly identical) design it will be confusing for the customer. Also the home page of every website is very specific page which has it's features. The online shops need it as it storefront. If you have brick n mortar shop would you put on your window your favourite products only or would you use it to build your presence, brand recognition and show the diversity you offer to your customers? ------ On other hand - I can help you do what you need with warehouse but it's paid theme.

CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 OK, maybe I will have a slider in the middle of the page, and then they can click on KCups to start their ordering process. Thanks, guys!
the.rampage.rado Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 What slider modules you have installed (or disabled/uninstalled) on the server?
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 I haven't installed any yet. I do have a commercial that links to a youtube video that I was thinking of putting there, but other than that, i'm not sure what else to put there. 😞 I wish I could have my main Kcup page as that home page. I think by doing a redirect incorrectly I crashed my server and now the page won't even load.
the.rampage.rado Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 Your site opens for me. What slider do you have installed? Revolution or something else?
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 I just checked my site from my cellular (instead of wi-fii) and it loads, so I assume my IP address is blocked. Contacting server people now so they can unblock it. Then I can check the slider question and log in. Thank you for your continued help. I hope you're around in about 15 minutes.
the.rampage.rado Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 I'm here. Whatever I would like to check Panda and Warehouse theme and decide on which one of them you like more and invest in one. 90 USD is just steal for both of them. They offer far more options to customise your website than the stock theme. And you will sell more because of that.
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 I would absolutely love to have you do that! We can work together on it, and would gladly pay you to do it. I have all day. Thank you, stand by!
CoffeeGuy Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 OK! It's back online. Instead of checking what slider to use, I will definitely consider (and probably do it) switching themes. How can we chat easier? I'm willing to do this right now
the.rampage.rado Posted May 3, 2020 Posted May 3, 2020 First of all check the both themes I recommended and I will be able to help you with Warehouse and other people here use Panda (even the dev is here somewhere :P ). They are as easy as the current setup you have and far more flexible.
