Do I need to delete my store and start all over?

[gaylene30]

I have been adding CDs with two open windows thru Administrate Your Store link One for entering product information thru Manage Categories. The second window was for viewing my store.

Six items were listed in the Audio CDs DVDs Video category without any problems. I was editing the subcategory
using the boxes along side of the product and everything was alright.

Now when I click on Audio CDs DVDs Video category thru the Administrate Your Store link I find This category has no subcategories. BUT looking at my store link (Gaylenes Attic Treasures) the 6 items are showing!

I also changed from a blue template to the red template. Could this be the problem as I now have a blue template (Administrate Your Store) which doesnt work and a red template for my store link which shows the 6 items?

Does anyone have an idea what I should do or do I need to delete my store and start all over?

Also I see everyone has store names appearing in this forum so how do I replace my name with my store name of Gaylenes Attic Treasures?

Currently you have no sub-categories under Audio - CDs - DVDs - Videos
It's one category called Audio - CDs - DVDs - Videos
IF you want sub-categories
go to the admin page
select categories on the left menu
click on the Audio - CDs - DVDs - Videos
then click on add new

Once you added the sub-categoies you can go to the 6 products you currently have in Audio - CDs - DVDs - Videos. To do this click on PRoducts from the left menu
select the Audio - CDs - DVDs - Videos category
click on the pencil icon (second icon) to the right of the title and select the new local category.


Changing the template color has nothing to do with it.

You might think about making some of your categories (or subs) a featured category to bring some of your items to your home page.

Thanks Big for all the information and I will sure put it to good use!

What can I do so that my store name appears, like yours and others, when they post messages?

Well, that's the thing -- your "store name" is technically gaylene30 since that's your eCrater URL. And our eCrater URLs are our default usernames in the forums, unfortunately, and can't be changed.

Thanks to you both - Now I know the reason why the wrong store name is showing. I will now have to decide how badly I want to continue with Attic Treasures. That was my eBay store and I thought it might help to bring over eBay customers.....

Something else you could do is register the GaylenesAtticTreasures.com domain (if it's available) and forward traffic to your eCrater shop.

I had the same problem as you did and I contacted ecrater and requested that my store name be changed from what it was to what it is. I supplied what my name currently was and what I wanted it to be and they fixed it for me. It only took a couple of days and in the meantime I continued to add items to my store and everything. No interruption at all. So, you might try requesting the change.
