Url issues on webstore with it not changing for different pages??

I got a message from a social media promoter that said, “I noticed on the website that the URL never changes when you go to different items…did you notice that? Thought that was weird.”

Here is what [URL removed]

When buyers enter www.2vez.com and start looking around the URL in the search bar is not changing. It stays a constant www.2vez.com.

If you enter through a tweeted link it works with the segundavez.Bonanza.com generic address. The URL changes every time you change what page you are looking at.

To see if this was “normal” I went to www.shopperlanesurplus.com and tomwayne1.bonanza.com, the two URLs for another Bonanza webstore. It worked perfectly with either web address.

Can someone tell me what I did wrong in adding my own domain name? It looked pretty fool-proof. (Maybe I needed it idiot-proof!)

I think you must change the page name. If you just copy a page and save it under a new name (new page) to also should go on top and change the TITLE to the name of your page… hmm, if you know what I mean. Hard to explain (for me)

Interesting. Just to make sure that it wasn’t changing because you were looking at your own webstore, I checked it out and verified what you said about your webstore addresses not changing. However, if you look at the status bar (that usually appears at the bottom of the browser window) that shows you the web address of where you about to go when you hover over a link, that DOES show the correct address.

When you entered your domain name into your setup on the webstore options page, try entering it without the [URL removed] or the www part of the complete domain. Or, if you left those out, try putting them in. On my setup, I simply entered shopperlanesurplus.com (without either the [URL removed] or the www part).

Another option to consider is where you registered your domain name. I already owned mine (didn’t get it through Bonanza). I noticed that when I hover over my logo on my webstore, it indicates that I’m about to link to www.shopperlanesurplus.com

When you hover over your logo, it indicates [URL removed]

Thanks for checking. I entered it without either the [URL removed] or the www part and tried it the other way. No change. I also had my domain already and was using it with another company. It took a while to remove it from the other place and put it here.
