Navigation, Collection References and Saved Content
Check navigation, fixed links in page content and app outputs. A changed product address does not update every manually entered reference.
Check the href at the location: navigation, liquid loop and manually maintained description text can contain different destinations. A renamed handle can leave old text links behind.
Where to Check Settings in Shopify
Check menu entries, collection cards, and manually stored links in product descriptions. After a handle change, use the new published goal. An automatically or manually created URL redirect does not replace the correction of a frequently used internal link.
Example of this specific finding
Illustrative control case: A guide links to /sortiment/alt/, the landing page responds with 404. The location is the guide, the error answer comes from the destination.
follow-up audit in Shopify
Reopen the affected link after publishing the theme. For permanent URL changes, check matching forwarding and direct internal destination address together.
Change the link at the location to a suitable, accessible address. After that, retrieve the same found page and follow the link that was actually issued.
Derogations and scope
If there is no suitable replacement, removing or rephrasing can be better than redirecting to the start page.
