Apache redirections when switching Magento from Single Store to Multistore

Recently we converted a 10 years old Magento single store to a Magento Multi Store. We wanted to add English language (original language was Spanish).

Setting up a LXC / LXD machine for development on Ubuntu/Debian

One of my favourite things I learned working at Smile was using LXC for development.

[Magento 2] Display category image in navigation menu

[Edited] I’ve updated the article to do this in a better way Recently I had to do something I thought it was simple to do: add the category images to the navigation menu. However, Magento doesn’t use a template to draw the whole menu but a function that will retrieve all categories and generate the ul/li tree. In Magento 2.1.X you can do this rewriting the _getHtml() function from the class Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Topmenu. This is a Read more…
