Hello again,

Those of you who have been viewing my posts are probably familiar by now.
Anyway, I need to change the Category ID of one of my products, but can not find where to change the product id itself.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can find this?

Thank you much!

Product ID values are automatically assigned by an auto-increment field in the table. They cannot be changed within AC7.

The only way I know would be to export the products, change them in the export file and then reimport them. However that would duplicate the products in your storefront.

Thank you for that answer. However, i probably should have mentioned that this is what I am trying to accomplish.
I am trying to change the name of the top level category of one of my products. I am only trying to make a small change to the name itself. I have gone in to each instance of the product (subcategories) and have changed the name. This worked great except for the main product page using Category.aspx Please see the link below:

http://test.myvu.com/Myvu-Solo-Plus-C26.aspx

This page has a pic of a woman laying on a bench. There is a black bar on the top of the pic, you will see in white text, Products > Solo Plus. There is also a yellow bar at the bottom of this pic. This says MyVu Solo Plus.... I need to add EV to the end of both instances of the product name.

Here is it a little more simplified.

The TOP LEVEL product page does not reflect the change to the name even after all pages have been updated with the new name.

If you look here:

http://test.myvu.com/Myvu-Solo-Plus-C26.aspx

Then look here:

http://test.myvu.com/Solo-Plus-EV--P86.aspx

You will see that the EV has been added to the sub-category pages. Each page including the main Solo page ( the first link above ) has been edited to reflect the name change. The only page that will not show the EV is the TOP LEVEL Solo page. Even though this page has been edited too.

For Top Level products, I am thinking that the name itself is in the external database that is not accessible to me. Is this correct? Does this mean that I have to add a new product just to rename the top level name?


I hope you can follow, any help is appreciated!

Thanks

Unfortunately your page is so highly customized, there's just no way to tell what information is coming from where. The white text on black background appears to be the breadcrumbs control. That should automatically be updating based the name of the product or category currently being displayed.

It sounds like you're wanting to change that category name. That should be doable just by editing the category itself and changing the name. The breadcrumbs will automatically update. However, I do not know where the yellow background/white text part is coming from - your page is too customized for me to tell.

I do notice that your category page title of this page http://test.myvu.com/Myvu-Solo-Plus-C26.aspx still says "Category Grid" and doesn't reflect the product name. Are you hardcoding the page title somewhere in your HTML?

Also check your metatag keywords. The keywords should all be separated by commas.
