Unable to open store after closing

Hi there,

I've installed nopCommerce for a friend who is developing a site. In order for her to add her full inventory of stock to the site (and for her to get it customised to the point where she's happy with it), we closed the store via the admin panel.

Now the site is complete, she's logged into the admin panel and unticked "store closed", but when she tries to view the store it still appears to be closed. When she logs out and back into the admin panel (or refreshes the page), the "store closed" option is still checked. We've tried unchecking the option using different browsers, but no matter how we go about it, we're unable to untick the box.

Any idea on how to rectify this?

Cheers :)

Go to your website database > find the table "Nop_Setting"

Now find this "Common.StoreClosed"

it should be ID 65 or near that, change it's value from "False" to "True"

now try going to public store...

I cannot open the store like the TS stated... I was pointed in this direction but this is no longer valid.
If I did everything alright, this is the table: [dbo].[Setting]
And this is the value 'storeinformationsettings.storeclosed'
I change it to "True" or "False"... it doesn't matter, the store stays closed...

Any help?

Yes, same issue.    The original post is out of date and your path seems to be the current way.   Changed value, and store stays closed.  Pity there is not a more elegant way to open a closed store.
