Hello,
Are there any errors in the AbanteCart error log? Also, could you try clearing the AbanteCart cache and see if that resolves the issue?

When I clone a product listing, then attach images, it still retains the images from the cloned product. If I unlink them from the new product, it unlinks them from the product which was cloned. Can anyone provide some insight as to what I am doing wrong?

The import supports both creating new products and updating existing products from the same file. Therefore, the CSV structure requires a Name column.

Thanks for the clarification. I have one question about how AbanteCart handles the import when the same CSV file is used to both create new products and update existing ones. How does AbanteCart determine whether a product already exists and should be updated, or whether it is a new product that needs to be created? For example, if the CSV contains a Name column, is the product name used to match an existing product? If so, what happens if two products have the same name? Or should we use another field, such as the Product ID or SKU, to identify existing products? It would be helpful if you could provide an example of the correct CSV structure for both creating new products and updating existing products.

In addition, in the log I see
Skip PDF resource (already assigned): 1f0aeeb9-01ab-43e1-9b66-81bfe527cd39.pdf for product ID 77099which means it automatically skips PDF imports, but lots and lots of

Hi, that Firefox warning almost always points to an SSL certificate problem: either none is installed, it has expired, or it was issued for a different domain. In my experience the quickest fix is to log into your hosting panel (cPanel or Plesk), open the SSL section and enable the free Let's Encrypt certificate for your domain. After that, try loading the store with https:// in front. If the warning is still there, tell us which host you're on and we can look closer.

While it's important to use keywords in your content, the ideal practice is to ensure they fit naturally within the text. There's no strict rule about using each keyword 4 to 6 times; instead, aim for a natural flow. Overstuffing keywords can lead to penalties from search engines.

How should a service business structure multiple service-intent pages without keyword cannibalisation?

I have been looking at how a service-based business should structure its website when customers search for the same general service using several different intents.

For example, a catering business may have one broad service category around "catering services", but customers can also search for things such as wedding catering, corporate catering, private catering, outdoor catering and other event-specific services.

My concern is keyword cannibalisation.

If every page tries to rank for the same broad term, the pages can become very similar. On the other hand, putting everything on one page makes it difficult to answer the specific questions behind each search.

I am currently thinking about an approach where the main service page explains the overall offering, while individual pages have a clearly different purpose.

For example:

Main service page: what the company provides generally
Corporate page: business events, conferences, meetings and scheduling
Wedding page: reception planning, guest numbers, menus and service timing
Outdoor page: tents, garden venues, weather, food holding and equipment
Private event page: birthdays, family gatherings and smaller functions

The important part would be making each page genuinely useful rather than simply changing the keyword in the heading.

For an AbanteCart store, would you treat these as categories, products, information pages, or another structure?

I would also be interested in how other AbanteCart users handle the relationship between the URL structure, page title, H1, description and internal links when several services are related but have different search intent.

I have been testing this structure on a real catering website and it has made me think that the information architecture may be more important than simply adding more keywords.

Has anyone dealt with a similar service-based catalogue in AbanteCart?

no on both of your question. it appears that some of the orders has the same issue.

how can we add debug to capture the error?
