Hi Shahzeen,

Based on what you said:- I’m suspecting that a block from a page builder is being used to display this content. In many cases, these blocks automatically link each column to the category page rather than a custom page, and there might be a setting you’re missing that allows you to change the link.
I searched every setting in this block and compared them to the same settings in the block of 3 links above it (that function as normal) and at the very last setting I found one piece of code in Advanced>advanced>additional CSS class(es) that is called ‘catallclass’.
I suspect this is the culprit but, as you suggested, I have contacted Stackable to check this before I remove it.

Great deductive reasoning on your part to find this so thank you very much for your help. I will let you know what Stackable says just so you can complete your ‘knowledge bank’ on this one.

Thanks again

Chris

Hi, I worked it out in Imgur so I hope this works.

Here is the link. https://imgur.com/a/7bEohrS

As you can see, it’s set to https://lekite.com.au/windsocks but as soon as you look at the live link, either in a address bar or in Inspect as you did, it shows and directs to lekite.com.au/product-category/windsocks/. I know I must be doing something basic wrong here but I have no idea what! Cheers
ps There is a / after windsocks in the link, I just didn’t pick it up in my copy.

Just tried that but it made no difference.

Hi, I’ve tested the options you suggested but still no luck.

• These is no ‘show categories’ from the customizer of Appearance → Customize → WooCommerce
  In fact, I have looked at every option in every item within Appearance and I cannot even find any mention of categories.
• However I did find Categories in the Left Sidebar under the Widgets section in Appearance. (I tried to post a screenshot here to show you but the screenshot would not load to this post)
  but even after I deleted them all, I was still getting my links taking me to product categories.
• My theme is OceanWP
  By way of example, on my homepage at http://www.lekite.com.au I have set a link from ‘Windsocks’ to be https://lekite.com.au/windsocks , a page I created that shows windsocks. But if you click on the windsocks link, it takes you to https://lekite.com.au/product-category/windsocks/ .
  This happens with all for of the buttons/links on that same row. Windsocks, Banners & Flags, Spares, Secondhand Kites.
  Note that it does not happen (thankfully) with the 3 main links above this row. The links to ‘Kites for Kids’, ‘Dual control kites’ and ‘Kits for Teachers and Schools’ all work as intended.
• Re your: Avoid using categories when creating products. suggestion.
  As a test, I have edited every items in the category of ‘windsocks’ to untick all boxes under categories in the edit section. Noe, when I click on the link button from the home page it still takes me to Home>>Products>>Windsocks but shows no items in the lists. So to ” leave the “Product categories” box empty” as you suggested doesn’t seem to work for me either.
  
  I hope I have given you everything you need as answers to your questions and suggestions. Thanks again
  
  
  

Hello, firstly, my apologies for not thanking you earlier to your answer, I am still working my way through a few of these issues but I should have replied earlier anyhow.
A quick question if I may. When I follow your link to leave a review, it does not give me the option to ‘leave a review’, only an option to ‘edit your review’. Does this mean I have already left one?
Thanks

Chris

Hello, I certainly will write a review for your excellent service but I have a followup question. The plugin I used did some strange things to my site so I would like to consider alternative plugins for embedding videos.
Now I assume that you could not give recommendations here in these forums but is there a community-type forum where I could ask a question of existing users what they recommend?
Thanks
Chris

Oh, I already do those with Flat Rate Shipping plugin and it works just fine, I was just trying to streamline the number of plugins I use to save speed. So I’ll just stick to what I’ve got, one plugin won’t make that much difference.
Thanks again for your great service.

Perfect!
My eyes are starting to glaze over now so I’ll try setting this up first thing tomorrow morning.
Thanks heaps for your help, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Good night
