Solved. It turned out to be a problem with Friendly URLs.

I upgraded my store from 1.4.11.0 to 1.6 using 1-click Upgrade, wasn't satisfied with the results, used the rollback function of 1-click Upgrade to rollback to 1.4.11.0. Now, any menu item link click stays on the main page. No other pages except those outside the site will come up from those links. Also, copying and pasting the link to the page I want to go to into any browser still sends it to the main page. Shop is enabled, that was the first thing I checked. Before I either re-install my backups or start from scratch with a fresh install of 1.6, has anyone experienced or heard about the above problem and is there a fix for it? Thanks.

How can you say that when so many, including myself, cannot upgrade from previous versions without a variety of errors? That doesn't sound stable to me. I've tried twice from 1.4.8.2 (4 times if you count trying both auto and manual methods), two different 1.5x final versions, and my shop ended up broken both times. And yes, I backed up my shop, so I lost nothing more than my time and maybe a few sales. I've decided not to try again until the error reports here are virtually none, not even to 1.4.10.

I guess I'll be waiting for 1.5.4.0 to upgrade. I'm still on 1.4.8.2.

Hiring a professional to perform what is supposed to be a one-click upgrade is not a valid solution. I'd rather see someone from Prestashop answering these questions than someone trying to make a buck.

Same problem here. Had to revert back to the previous version and manually install the database backup to get my shop back online. Submitting bug report.

I still got back of them both but will not run now only will run with new version with errors. The changes have effected it and tax error comes up. Worse still under testing it worked fine and everything seemed ok after install, then it went bad. So not really alot you can do. You back everything up, you pre test then it starts developing faults. You switch back to backup and that now has "TAX" error Pretty much did everything right and sometimes thats not enough. So do not think fine, im backed up so will risk it, it may still bite u I don't know how you did your previous version backup and how you reinstalled it, but I made an exact copy of my /prestashop directory, named it /save_prestashop and backed up the database. When the 1.4 upgrade failed, I deleted the /prestashop directory that held the 1.4 upgrade, deleted the upgraded database, created a new database, imported the 1.3 database and renamed /save_prestashop to /prestashop, tested it and everything worked as before. There's no reason it shouldn't, it's all the same as before.

The big lesson here is to make an exact duplicate of your current Prestashop directory and backup the database. I was able to revert back to 1.3 in a couple of minutes when the upgrade failed.

Unable to upgrade to 1.4 also. Tried it twice, too many problems and functions broken from the home text editor, Paypal and other modules, forcing the admin panel to https, to list. And I followed the upgrade instructions to the letter, just like when I've upgraded in the past. The plan now is to just stay with 1.3 and watch here for some kind of news the bugs have been worked out. I like Prestashop and spent a lot of time configuring it the way I wanted it. I just don't feel like doing it all again.

The free 800 number is a great deal. I don't get a lot of calls, so I'm able to stay under the 100 minutes a month limit. And it's only 4.9 cents a minute over that. I have the calls forwarded to an actual phone, but I let their voicemail take the calls and call them back to save minutes. SSL will only apply on specific pages, I have right and left column images that are on all pages, secure and non-secure. If your Photobucket hosted photos appear only on non-secure pages, you'll be ok. If you do have pictures that will appear on all pages including secure, just upload them via FTP into your prestastore/img folder and edit their location in whatever file your working with. I also understand if the photos are hosted on another secure server, you won't get warnings. Just on the ones with non-secure hosting. All I've had to enter for a location is /img.

I have a Host Gator business account and am using the free shared SSL. It works just fine. All you have to do in PrestaShop is turn it on at installation. One thing to remember, all images that you insert into your pages have to be uploaded within the /prestashop directory or you'll get a message from the browser there are non-secure elements on your page. I've put all of mine in the /prestashop/img directory and have had no problems. BTW, as part of the business plan, Host Gator offers a free 800 VoIP number and voicemail and 100 minutes a month.
