Did You Know? Locale Mapping Infinite Loops

If storefront locale mapping is set to none, creating a redirect where the source string is embedded inside the destination string triggers an infinite loop.

๐Ÿ’ก Did You Know?

If storefront locale mapping is set to "none" (no language codes in the URL path), creating a redirect where the source string is embedded inside the destination string (e.g., /home โ†’ /new/home) triggers an infinite redirect loop.

The fallback parser misinterprets the path folder /new/ as a language code.

Pro Tip: Remember that Pipeline Aliases (e.g., /cart โ†’ Cart-Show) evaluate before custom URL Rules or dynamic category mappings.
