## 🚨 Critical Remember Points

1. **Permissions Are Important**
   - Folders: 755
   - Files: 644
   - Set via File Manager right-click > Change Permissions

2. **JSON Files Must Exist**
   - products.json (19+ products)
   - categories.json (12+ categories)
   - pages.json (website pages)
   - All must be valid JSON!

3. **Base Path Auto-Detected**
   - No manual configuration needed
   - Works automatically on localhost AND cPanel
   - getWebBasePath() handles it all

4. **Images in Multiple Places**
   - /pics_ecom/ - Product images
   - /sport-pics/ - Category/feature images
   - All paths auto-normalized

5. **Database Optional**
   - System works without database
   - Falls back to JSON files
   - Can add MySQL later if needed
