Category not found

I have read several of the forum threads but cannot find one that quite seems to match my issue.

I have installed a Test Joomla Site and installed the Purity III template.
I have not configured the site in any other way other than then installing the Hikashop Extension

I have done some basic configuration of Hikashop via the install wizard and config options, but have not changed anything significant (I believe)

I can get a Category or Product display form the Menu and I have a Cart module showing. When I click on the Add to cart option I get the above 404 message, the url is showing as :
locky.eu.pn/index.php/hikashop-menu-for-...g/product/updatecart

at this point having been:
locky.eu.pn/index.php/hikashop-menu-for-categories-listing#

If you hover on the button

I have tried changing the value of "Force a menu on checkout" to other values and also None as I saw that mentioned in several threads here.

I am completely confused as to what could be causing this I would have thought this would be "out of the box" functionality

I have created a Payment method of Bank Transfer & PayPal but I do not believe the lack of a hipping method is causing this?

I notice that when I click on the item itself it also Generates a 404 error, Despite the JCE edited page for the product having an Image and some text.

When I look at the demo site here:
demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikashop/...div/category/15-cars

Hovering on the Add to Cart gives this:
demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikashop/...v/product/updatecart

rather than the url ending in # I have above.

Eventually I would like to have our Products page look similar to the cars config but I need to get the Cart working first otherwise this Extension is a dead end.

Any help appreciated

The Site has just been setup for testing.

It is a Vanila Joomla site with no significant changes then a Purity III Theme installed and HikaShop

For site:

Search Engine Friendly URLs Yes
Use URL rewriting No
Adds Suffix to URL No
Unicode Aliases No
Include Site Name in Page Titles No

For Hikashop I assume you mean this settings (Features SEF Url options)

Simplified breadcrumbs Yes
Remove products and categories id in URLs No
Alias automatic filling Yes
Category SEF name Category
Product SEF name Product
Checkout SEF name Checkout
Force canonical URLs on listings Use canonical URL if specified
Automatic product keywords and metadescription filling No

Thanks

I have been looking at this some more and it appears that the Theme / Joomla install did not work 100%.

I have tried a different hosting provider and all appears to be working now.

I got a 404 when I had alias as 'checkout' but when I added a dash to the alias it worked. 'cart-checkout'

Good Day,

I get a similar message as in the original forum topic. I cannot follow how the issue was resolved. Could you help.
See attached the type of error message.

I use Joomla! 3.4.5
Browser is Chrome
Hikashop 2.6.0
