External links to category page redirect to home page
Posted: Sun May 01, 2011 7:20 pm
Hello,
Wondering if any one else has run into this problem : If the URL of a category page is manually typed in or sent as a link in an email it will redirect to the home page. If you get to the page through the main navigation and the page is cached, then the direct link seems to work. I have read on other posts that redirecting to the home page is default behavior if the category or product was deleted, but this is not the case here.
We are using 7.04...some customization was done, but to my knowledge it did not involve anything in the URL rewriting area. Any clues or steps in the right direction would be appreciated...
