In PrestaShop 1.6 and 1.7 stores, an XML error appears in the admin panel regarding files such as must_have_modules_list.xml, default_country_modules_list.xml, and modules_native_addons.xml. Messages like “Start tag expected, '<' not found” are usually related to a communication issue with the PrestaShop Addons API. Fortunately, the issue usually does not affect the store’s functionality from the customer’s perspective and can be quickly resolved by replacing the corrupted XML files or disabling data re-fetching from the Addons API. In this post, we explain the cause of the error, its symptoms, and an effective solution.
