Hey there,

I have a site .. http://fightpassport.com/ ..
I was running a datafeed in the "MMA Gear" section. Everything was running smoothly when I was using the default numeric permalinks but when I switched them (for SEO), it messed up the store.
If you check it out the "MMA Gear" section at the top ( http://fightpassport.com/store/ ) .. when you try to "browse brands", it just jumps back to the homepage.

Anyone know why this may have happened and how I can go about fixing it?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Actually, while on the topic of permalinks, what is the best structure for SEO? Right now I'm using the date/post name one. Should I make it custom and do category/postname instead? If so, what's the exact code I should input to do so?

    Maybe you should try a more techy orientated forum if you're not finding your answer here

      The only thing I could suggest is wiping out the entries and reentering the appropriate data.

      Wish I could be more help.

        Hmm.. since "wiping out the entries" doesn't sound very appealing, do you think re-installing the store would work?

    Reinstalling won't help unless you can change how the store creates your category links. At the moment, the category links are trying to use the index page to try and figure out where to go, but when you started using the WP permalinks, it took over your index page functionality.

    WordPress uses the index.php to figure out where on the site someone is going, based on the links they're entering. Your store appears to do the same thing. The links for the store categories are ... /index.php?gccid=XXXX but WordPress has no idea what gccid is and doesn't know it's supposed to do something with it.

    Here's a few ideas of things you can do, all of which require a bit of technical knowledge...
    1. Integrate the store code and WP code into one index.php file
    2. Change your htaccess so the store links direct properly
    3. Change how your store functions

    Hope that helps,
    Kathy

      Thank you for the advise,
      I'll show that to my web designer and hopefully he'll know what to do

      Thanks again Kathy ..
