toplakd Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 That's normal behaviour if some one access disabled/removed product with direct link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the.rampage.rado Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 If you have removed the product from BO (in contrast to disabling it) you can use .htaccess redirect to 301 redirect the old nonfunctioning address to something similar or to category page where it was located. Alternative is to redirect to homepage. If the product is disabled but present in BO you can make the redirect from product page. This is better(ish) for SEO and better for user experience.
