# 2026-08-06 — Canonicalized theme trade-apply host

Live theme 144396058675 ("5.9.1 homepage refresh + mobile header (LIVE)"),
snippet snippets/dw-signin-modal.liquid line 124:

  BEFORE: var TRADE_APPLY_URL = 'https://dwsignup.agentabrams.com/trade/apply';
  AFTER : var TRADE_APPLY_URL = 'https://signup.designerwallcoverings.com/trade/apply';

Why: theme pointed the designer "Apply for Trade" fetch at the OLD host
(dwsignup.agentabrams.com), which is slated for decommission (pending-approval memo
2026-08-05-decommission-old-dwsignup-host.md). Both hosts share the same live backend
today, so intake worked — but the decommission would have silently killed designer
applications. Swapped to the canonical signup.designerwallcoverings.com.

Verified: stored asset value updated (HTTP 200); fresh page renders (/cart, /collections/all)
now serve the canonical URL; homepage lagged only on Shopify's short full-page cache.
