[ SOLVED ]Problem with .htaccess file

[Rayan]

When I turn ON the FRIENDLY URL from Back Office >> Preferences my products dont display on my website and gives an error saying the WEBSITE page doesn't exist anymore. I generated the .htaccess file but I am not sure what is the problem. Please help me how to solve it.

First, some server does not support URL rewrite function, such as windows server. If your hosting is windows hosting, you will have to disable it.

2nd, if your store is not at root, but under a folder something like /shop/, make sure the generated .htaccess file has /shop/ included in the ReWrite rule for images. See below

RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9]+)\-([a-z0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$ /shop/img/p/$1-$2$3.jpg [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([0-9]+)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$ /shop/img/p/$1-$2.jpg [QSA,L,E]
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)(\-[_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([_a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.jpg$ /shop/img/c/$1$2.jpg [QSA,L,E]
