Experiencing a PrestaShop redirection error?​

Redirection errors are common in multilingual setups. For example, opening the Chinese version of your PrestaShop store may result in a redirection error.

Solution:

  1. Check the .htaccess file in the root directory of your website for any misconfigurations or deadlocks.
  2. Remove the self-installed language pack and re-import it. PrestaShop will automatically generate new pseudo-static rules that overwrite the original .htaccess file.
