Retired Boards Appdev Store Design

Topic summary

Issue: Product URLs lose the collection path, showing as homepage/products instead of /collections/…/products/… on a Shopify store using the Shella theme. The user asked if this was a domain issue.

Findings: A store link was shared. A helper confirmed that a manually constructed URL with /collections/… works, indicating the issue arises when clicking products from collection pages.

Proposed fix: Update theme code so product links are generated within their collection.

  • Admin > Online Store > Themes > Actions > Edit code
  • In the collection grid/template, replace {{ product.url }} with {{ product.url | within: collection }}
    This Liquid filter ensures product links include the collection path.

Advice: If uncomfortable editing code, contact the theme’s support to implement the change (suggested as a free fix by theme support).

Status: The original poster thanked helpers; no explicit confirmation the change was implemented. Resolution appears identified but not definitively confirmed.

Hello, thank you in advance for your help. I also need assistance with an issue on my website. I no longer have the complete URLs. This means that even if I go to the homepage/collection/product, the URL will be homepage/product. I received a response that this is how Shopify has now structured the URLs, but on websites where I found the same Shella theme, the URLs work correctly. Do I have a problem with my domain?

Hi @sao

Could you share your store URL?

Hi @sao

My understanding is you want to change the url structure for your website to homepage/collections/collection-name/products/product whenever you click the product under the collection. If so, you can follow the instructions below.

  • From your Shopify admin dashboard, click on “Online Store” and then “Themes”.
  • Find the theme that you want to edit and click on “Actions” and then “Edit code”.
  • Find the collection grid for your website
  • Find and edit the code “{{ product.url }}” then replace it to {{ product.url | within: collection }}

Thank should add the link like this once you go to the product from the collection page. See image below

I tried to manually add this link within collection and it works

I guess you are talking about the issue when you open products in collection page but it open link is your homepage/products/…

You will must edit code a little to make it open within collection.

I recommend you contact support of that theme so they can do it for you for free
