Change Name of Shop

[StaffsGeo]

Reasonably new user of prestashop and was wondering can I change the name of the url as it uses ....../prestashop/en at the moment ??

 

Is this possible ?

 

Any advice will be greatly received....

 

Thankyou

/prestashop/ because it is installed in a subdirectory of domain root.

 

/en/ because you have multiple languages installed/enabled and friendly URL is on. E.g. /fr/ for French.

 

If you are not using multiple languages, disable (or delete) them (Back Office > Tools > Languages) and regenerate .htaccess (Back Office > Tools > Generators). Then delete all files except index.php in /prestashop/tools/smarty/compile/ directory. Now the URL will read just /prestashop/.

 

Getting rid of /prestashop/ is more involved. Add your IP to Maintenance IP and put the shop in maintenance mode (Back Office > Preferences). Using FTP or similar, move everything in /prestashop/ directory to domain root then edit /config/setting.inc.php to change __PS_BASE_URI__ from '/prestashop/' to '/'. Then delete all files except index.php in /tools/smarty/compile/ directory. Regenerate .htaccess and robots files. Enable shop again.

 

If the above sounds alien, seek professional help.
