Pages all linking to the same place

[deckerkp]

Hi All,

When I add pages and change the navigation by linking it to the proper page, each page links to the same content as the sustainability page. Is there any way to fix this?  I have reviewed this excessively and it seems that I am doing it correctly... Has this happened to anyone else? 

[Dirk]

Hey, @deckerkp 

Happy to look into this for you. Could you provide me with the link to your store so that I can test your navigation out on my end? This way we can isolate a potential culprit to all the links leading to the same place.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

[deckerkp]

Of course! It is deckerkp.myshopify.com

Please let me know if you have any issues getting in. It is the VENUE theme although it seems to want to go straight to dawn sometimes. Also, I have products listed under "appetizers" which appear in the menu, but when clicking on appetizers it says "no products shown". I made sure all products are active so not sure if there is something wrong there as well. 

[Dirk]

Could you remove the store password or provide it here, @deckerkp ? That way I can take a peek. 

[Dirk]

Hey, @deckerkp 

I removed your most recent post because it contained your sensitive, login for your staff account. What I'm looking for is just the storefront password. This can be found in your Admin > Online Store > Preferences > Password Protection.

You can either uncheck the 'enable password' box or provide the storefront password.

[deckerkp]

Hi @Dirk  the password is pawldi. Thank you! 

[Dirk]

Hey, @deckerkp 

Thanks for the password. I was able to check out your navigation and I understand what you are now seeing. For example, when I go through the 'About us' dropdown and then 'The Raw Difference' submenu, I can see all your sub-menu items such as 'our products', 'our facilities' all lead to the same page: /pages/the-raw-difference.

This will require you to go into your stores admin > online store > navigation to make changes. From there you will want to select the menu that you use for the top menu (usually called main menu). Each menu item allows you to edit the 'Name' and the 'Link' fields. In your case, all of your 'Link' fields for those sub-menu items are all currently linking out to 'the-raw-difference' page. You can individually set each submenu item to link to the appropriate page that you have created for them.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

[deckerkp]

Hi @Dirk I thought I did this? 

[deckerkp]

I used some as placeholders because they are not working. The Raw difference is the page that those should be linked to. But the sustainability page should be separate content 

[deckerkp]

For example, recipes and blog is linked to recipe and blog page which should be separate content. But it just goes to the same content. If I try to change that content it will update every page.

Also, the appetizers still show "no products found" 

[Dirk]

Can you take a screenshot of your navigation settings page, with all the menu items expanded out as I have shown? I want to see what displays in the 'link' fields for the menu items that aren't redirecting to where you want them to.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

[deckerkp]

Hi Dirk,

Not sure if the site was opening to the right place. I had not published my venue theme, so the dawn theme was what comes up when searching. Any chance you could take a look again? I am happy to provide screenshots as well.

Hey, @deckerkp 

When I click on your navigation, for example, Our Mission, or Our Family, it stays on the 'Our Story' page. 

Can you take a screenshot of your navigation settings page, with all the menu items expanded out as I have shown in my previous replies? I want to see what displays in the 'link' fields for the menu items 'Our Mission' and 'Our Family' that aren't redirecting to where you want them to.

Hey!

I'd love to know what you find out about this as I'm having the same issue. If I create a new page in the Dawn theme, my only options for the page are "default" and "contact." Not wanting another contact page, I hit default, and now every new page I create has the exact same content, I can't seem to edit them separately. 

[Ann19]

I have the same issue with my bullet theme, did you find a solution ? 

[scsoapworks]

Did anyone get a solution on this? I'm having the same issue with the Dawn Theme at www.saltcitysoapworks.com. 

[jasonb75]

I'm having exactly the same issue

[gobrandbrite]

How did you fix??? So frustrating 🙂 Any help is appreciated! 

[1ShopStop]

How to change your default menu to another page you created so when someone clicks the link to your store the first thing you see is the page you set?

[Ann19]

I have the same issue, did you find a solution ? 

[bellamyhome]

I'm having this issue as well.  I was trying to switch to the Dawn theme I haven't published my new site yet because everything is linking to the same page...

[LJ8025]

Having the same issue 

[Sashbee]

Hey I'm having the same issue. Was a fix for this found?

[taylork06]

I am having the same problem. Any tips on how to fix it?

[Carmensita]

Also need help with this! Anyone knows how to fix it?

[taylork06]

1. In your admin, visit Online Store > Click Customize beside Dawn.
2. At the top of the Theme Editor, click the dropdown menu (when you load the Theme Editor it should say Home page) and select Pages > Create Template > name it "Terms of Service"> select Create Template.
3. Next, leave the Theme Editor and go back to your admin and click Online Store > Pages > Terms of Service.
4. In the "Online Store" section of this page (on the right side), you will see a dropdown menu under 'Theme Template" > click it and select "Terms of Service" > click Save (this is linking the template you created in the Theme Editor to this specific page).
5. Now if you visit the Terms of Service link in your footer, it should load the Terms of Service page that you've just associated with that new template you created in the Theme Editor 🙂

This is the response I got from Shopify and it helped me a ton.

Unfortunately this didn't solve the problem for me. I think this must be an issue with Dawn 😞 

Has anyone figured out another solve?

[madcatter]

Same issue but found a solution.  I'm not an expert but the "default page" is one page.  Essentially, you need to create a duplicate default page.  Go to online store and on the left of the customize button, there's a dropdown menu.  Click that and select edit code.  You want to create a new template so click "add new template."  The template you want to create is a page.  Select that from the drop down menu.  Now add a new name for the page template.  I went with page.ourstory because I was creating an Our Story page.  Keep the JSON.  Hit done.  Now you need to assign a page to the template you just created.  Boom, you should be all set  Good Luck!

For me, "About Us" is the link that opens no matter which link I try to open. I tried creating new template as you suggested above, but even in new template (page), text that automatically appears is of "About Us" page. Can you please suggest why is it so? And how it can be resolved?

[lucylu1]

I am having the same issue with two different themes for my clients. Is there any new information on this? 

When I create a new page it links to a different one even if it says it's linked to the correct page. 
Very frustrating! 

[ebonyhunter]

Hi Lucy, have you found a solution to this yet, also feeling extremely frustrated at this!

[PlayByPlay]

I was very frustrated too... i solved this issue tho. it was just one small thing. ive attached the instructions and pics to help you understand in my other reply.

[wifimanagement]

@PlayByPlay I fixed the issue based on your response so thanks. only thing you forgot to mention is you have to individually change each page's theme template in the page settings 🙂

[ebonyhunter]

Hey there, have you found a solution to this at all? Currently really frustrated at Dawn, appears to by some kind of glitch that i cant seem to resolve 

[PlayByPlay]

I struggled with this problem but i eventually figured it out. This is how to solve it.....

Under the Admin section, when you click on "Pages" to create a new page for your site, the dawn theme bases the page you are about to create on a previously created page (usually the "default" page). so essentially a COPY of your default page is created. Now you are allowed to name the new page, add text and photos etc... and then you click save after youre done creating the page. 

Your new page (and all the other pages you've created) are now listed.
Now you need to link the page to your navigation.

Go to Navigation

Choose the menu you want to add your created page to

Click "edit" on the menu item that you want your new page to link to (for example, "About Us" or "New Products"

Now click where it says "link", then select "pages" and choose the page you created

Click "Apply Changes", then click "Save".

Now its time to make your new page ACTUALLY SHOW on your website (its hidden right now but its there!!)

Click "Online Store" on your Admin page, then click Customize to enter your site.
once it loads up scroll (if necessary) to your menu and click on the menu item you just connected your created page to, the page will then load
on the left of your screen, you will see all the options you usually see that help you customize your site. But if you notice, there is a section named "TEMPLATE" and just under it there is an option that says "Page" but its GREYED OUT. Hover over that option and an icon in the shape of an eye will pop up, CLICK IT AND IT WILL MAKE THE CONTENT OF THE NEW PAGE YOU CREATED VISIBLE.

you should see your created page now. if you see anything from the default page that you dont want, just delete it. Dont forget to click Save to keep your new page final.

I was having the same issue. But I discovered if I disabled the transparent header, all of the links immediately started working. Here's how I got there:

Under Online Store, go to Themes

Click Customize for your current theme

Click on Header section in the left menu

Then on the right side Header options, under "Transparent Header", uncheck "Enable transparent header"

Save the change

Once I did this and went back to my live site, all of the nav links worked as they should.

It appears this is a weird glitch within the Dawn theme. 

[KaBling]

I don't have an option of "Transparent Header".  So frustrating.
