I will explain the most easiest and the fastest way how to change modules positions and order in Prestashop.  I will also explain other options in case you need some more configuration possibilities.

If you are newbie with Prestashop e-commerce system and hear people talking about them, then you may be wondering “What are those Prestashop hooks?” I’ll try to explain it as simple as possible .

If you lost your Prestashop admin password you can reset it in many ways but sometimes it’s not so easy to accomplish it as it may seem.
Today I will explain main three methods how you can change your lost password – one is really easy and quick .

If you read this post I think you know why you need it . It’s free easy to use MySQL database administration tool and it is also written in PHP like Prestashop system. PHP developers uses this tool very often but it also could be used by not techies.
