How come "Peers" shows in my left hand navigation?

BVCommerce 5

When creating your new BV Commerce website, you may browse through your site and notice "Peers" shows up on the top of your left hand navigation. Here's how to find out why and change it.

BV Commerce allows you to customize many areas of your site. The most common place to make changes is on the left hand side of your site, where your left hand navigation appears. In the case of navigation and display, it can be different for many sections of your site, pretty nice. For example, you can display different navigation on the home page, category pages, and the product pages.

So, why does "Peers" display? Peers is displaying because that is the default navigation header for the home page, categories page, and products pages. Here's how to change it.

  1. Log in as the administrator
  2. Click on the "Content" tab
  3. Click on the sub navigation at the top labeled "Columns"
  4. If you review the columns options, you will see several options. I would suggest walking through them just to find out what possibilities you have.
  5. To fix the Peers, we'll use the "System Product Page." So, click on the "Edit" link in the row labeled "System Product Page."
  6. Here you will see what objects you will display whenever you look at an individual product.
  7. You may see it already, your navigation is in one of the blocks. You will see "Peers" as the header for your subcategories.
  8. To change this, click on the "Edit" button in that block.
  9. Now, simply change the "Menu Title" to whatever you want. Then click the "Save Changes" button.
  10. Repeat this process for the "System Category Page", and the "System Home Page" to fix the normal areas where this will appear.
