Change URL that shows in browser search bar

Postby mfb99 » Fri Feb 13, 2015 9:51 am

Hello,

I am using ShopSite Starter and have set up a five page store.
On the index page, my own URL shows in the search bar.
On the rest of the pages, my hosting domain URL shows.

Is there a way to get my URL to show on all the pages in the search bar and not the hosting domain URL?

Here is what they look like now:

http://www.whippetengineering.com/store/index.html
http://mikebi4.fatcow.com/store/page3.html

Thanks,

Mike

Your ShopSite authorization file has the fatcow url in it so that is what is displayed on pages. The reason your main page has your domain is that the Preferences > Hosting services "My Store" URL is used for the Home link and that evidently has your domain name in it.

To switch to have them all use your own domain would require at least a new authorization file and editing some configuration files to change the initial installed settings to use your domain name. On some hosting plans it may also require that you have your own server instead of using the shared one that it is currently installed on.

Thank you Jim,

I am going to leave that alone and use what is setup.
