Troubleshooting: In-context preview does not function properly

In-context preview does not function properly for some categories or catalog entries. Store preview opens to the home page, rather than to a specific store page.

Problem

An SEO URL keyword does not exist for the category or catalog entry objects. To directly preview these objects in the storefront, in-context preview requires that the objects have an SEO URL keyword.

Solution

Ensure that your category object or catalog entry object has an SEO URL keyword.

  1. Open the Catalogs tool.
  2. Open the object that you are having issues with.
  3. Click the Search Engine Optimization tab.
  4. In the URL keyword field, specify a URL keyword.
