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.
💡 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 → /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 → Cart-Show) evaluate before custom URL Rules or dynamic category mappings.
