Module does not work with disabled overrides


SEO 301 redirections module during installation process applies an override of FrontController class to your PrestShop. This means that module uses special feature that is called in PrestaShop as an "Override". In simple words 'overriding' is a way to "override" class files and controller files. PrestaShop's ingenious class auto-loading function makes the "switch" to other files fairly simple.  SEO redirect module uses FrontController class override to create redirections and in fact - this is the most important part of this module. This override allows to quickly redirect users before the contents of your website are loaded (for performance purposes).

PrestaShop allows to disable overrides, or these overrides are disabled automatically in some cases (like update of the shop) or while you apply security patch (presta from time to time releases security patches).
