I actually posted another ticket related to this issue and what I am seeing in the error logs. the site is reachable but not the shop related page. Really strange.
For this ticket now, what I need is to use a different page as the shop default but anytime I set it to a different page it adds the stand view of the list of products and the sidebar below the custom content I have created for the new page.
Is there a way to remove this from the default shop pages?
