This can be due to many factors independent of our module, in doubt, the first thing to do is to graft the module on the hook Header. In the module configuration, click on the “Add” icon in the top right corner, then add and finally specify the module and the Header hook. The module normally works on the actionDispatcher hook but this is sometimes incompatible with some URL redirection modules.
If your shop has a lot of custom overrides, this can also have a big impact.
Another solution is to create an override in the FrontController class (override/classes/controller/FrontController.php) with the following code, it is however not very recommended:
Note that Pretty URLs very often cause problems and there is little we can do about it. The way this module has been made is simply incomprehensible in 2020 and totally deviates from the way Prestashop should work. If you own this module and use it with ours, we will try to help you but don’t expect miracles.
Far be it from us to make forced sales, but it is clear that our URL rewriting module works with this one, just like the other redirection modules.
The purpose of the module is to redirect all “dead” pages (404) by itself without your intervention.
Its first option allows you to retrieve URLs of pages not found and applies a redirection if terms are similar in the database, otherwise it adds an entry
This allows you to correct mistyped or slightly wrong URLs for 99% of them and ensure that your SEO remains correct despite errors in external links for example.
The module also manages the redirection of deactivated or deleted pages by sending them back to their logical parent, for example a deleted product will have its URL sent back to
The last redirection algorithm to the parent folders allows to retrieve the last potentially out-of-field items of the first two types. It will take for example /folder/subfolder to redirect to /folder. If folder doesn’t exist either it will send to /. This also allows you to recover a large part of the old 404 pages that are still unindexed from deleted pages without having to manage them one by one.
In the case of a migration you can also use the Regex mode, although this one is very greedy and reserved to developers. It allows you to use the php preg_match function in the following way:
preg_match(‘/’.$rule.’/i’, $url)
The / are escaped by the program, you don’t have to.
We set up this system of questions-answers based on the requests we receive precisely because to make evolve the documentation attached with the plugin is binding. This allows us to react more efficiently. However, we will be happy to answer you and then complete it.
Let’s talk about it! We’re always receptive to good ideas.
Yes, but not in the context of support, which only concerns the monitoring of the implementation and correction of bugs. If it is a micro adjustment we will of course help you, however if the work is more consequent we will propose you an estimate. Our hourly rate is 60 € without VAT per hour.
Yes, all our modules are multi-language and multi-shop compatible. Configurations may change for each shop.
For Stuart and Deliver.ee, you can also define a pickup point per eShop.
About Magic Redirect 301, you can define which redirections will be used by which eshop. Note that this is automatically done by the system when creating the rules, you will not have to manage the distribution of the rules yourself.
Regarding URL Rewriter (SEO, it supports each of the different eshops separately to avoid creating duplicates.
Lonelystock (Product Isolation) separates each product in the shops but the stocks being managed in a common way in Prestashop, times and quantities are managed together. We simply followed the usual Prestashop behaviour with regard to stocks.
Simple Sitemap is natively made to manage all the complexities of multi shop and multi language, even at the level of other plugins (blogs …) when it is possible of course.
