Thanks for all the helpful suggestions; turned out that the hosting company had NOT activated iconv on their new server set-up.

That bit is fixed; however, I’m now having issues with the set-up based on the fact I’m using my own smtp mailserver, as part of hosting package. No combination of POP settings seems to work, with the debug messages saying that Postie cannot connect, with “network unreachable” or “network unavailable”. This is highly likely to be another server set-up issue and I have gone back to the hosts to ask for a fix and/or guidance as to my set-up.

Watch this space.

The Php info page shows vsn 8.1.17.

Thanks. That worked perfectly!

With a little old-fashioned experimentation and a lttle luck I expect we’ve found a set-up which works …

# URL rewriting module activation

	RewriteEngine On

# BEGIN WordPress

   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

	RewriteRule ^(blog)/? blog.php [L]

</IfModule>

# END WordPress

# BEGIN PrestaShop URL rewriting rules

	RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$2$4 [L,E]
	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)\.html(.*)$ product.php?id_product=$1$3 [L,E]
	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ category.php?id_category=$1 [QSA,L,E]

	RewriteRule ^content/([0-9]+)\-([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ cms.php?id_cms=$1 [QSA,L,E]
	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)__([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ supplier.php?id_supplier=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]
	RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)_([a-zA-Z0-9-]*)(.*)$ manufacturer.php?id_manufacturer=$1$3 [QSA,L,E]

# Catch 404 errors
	ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

# END PrestaShop URL rewriting rules

Not at all sure how it works, just that it does

Thanks for your attention

The solution it seems was to deactivate the Rewrite Titles function in the other wise brilliant All in One SEO Pack plugin.

Done.
