1. The problem I’m having:
I am encountering a rewrite error in OpenCart 3.0.4.0. No matter how I modify the settings and configurations, I am unable to achieve proper SEO-friendly URLs (URL rewriting) in OpenCart.
I would greatly appreciate it if someone with experience could help correct the code and point out any mistakes.
