404 error page changing store views in home page after removing .html suffix

[magento_magentodev]

While removing .html suffix for categories and products page through admin (configuration->catalog->catalog->seo), the home page loads 404 page when changing languages.

For products and categories, .html suffix has been removed without any issue even when switching languages.

But experiencing when switching languages in home page, it loads 404 pages.

I have already cleared cache and reindex the site, still same issue.

I have also static pages and this works properly.

Any help and clarification would be most welcome.

Thanks

As I can see you are using correct method. I had same issue.

Here are some steps:

1) Remove var/generation directory
2) Then run blow commands:

sudo rm -Rf var/generation/* var/di/* var/cache/*
sudo rm -Rf pub/static/frontend/* var/pre_processed/* pub/static/_requirejs/*
sudo php bin/magento setup:di:compile
sudo php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy -f
sudo php bin/magento cache:clean
sudo php bin/magento cache:flush
sudo chmod -R 777 var/ pub/ generated/
sudo php bin/magento indexer:reindex

I hope it will work for you.

I have tried these steps but still it does not resolves the issues.

I have cleanup all the mentioned directories and regenerate the files but still issue is still present.

The moment it changes store view, it performs a redirect

stores/store/switch/?___from_store=it&___store=en

to 

Home Page

Then 404 error page.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Here is the staging environment domain and i have remove .html suffix through admin:

http://metrica-staging.northeurope.cloudapp.azure.com/

By default, it loads the Italian language version, and if you change language, you will encountered the 404 error page.

But when you are in other pages such as categories or product page and you can languages, it loads properly.

Please advise if you observe something weird.

Thanks.
