## 🐛 Troubleshooting

### URLs still show .php extension
**Solution:** Enable mod_rewrite in Apache
- XAMPP: Edit `httpd.conf`, uncomment `LoadModule rewrite_module`
- cPanel: Usually enabled by default. Contact hosting support if needed.

### Currency/Language dropdown doesn't work
**Solution:** Check browser console for errors
- F12 → Console tab
- Look for any error messages
- Verify `api_set_preference.php` exists

### Logo doesn't display
**Solution:** Verify image path
- Check `sport-pics/logo-1.png` exists
- Verify path in `data/site_config.json`
- Check file permissions

### Meta titles wrong on some pages
**Solution:** Integrate meta manager
- Add to page: `require_once __DIR__ . '/helpers/meta_manager.php';`
- In `<head>`: `<?php echo renderMetaTags('page_type'); ?>`
