Polylang with MU Domain Mapping

Hi!

Polylang and MU domain mapping use two different ways to map domains. However some partial compatibility exists. RavanH (to my great surprise) succeeded to make both plugins work together. See our conversation: https://polylang.wordpress.com/2014/10/11/polylang-1-5-6-and-polylang-1-6-beta2/comment-page-1/#comment-1014
Hope it helps

Hi Chouby,

Thanks for the link. But I am not sure what RavanH has done to make the 2 plugins work together.

Did he check this option?
Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues.

If this option is checked, then a visit to newsite.com will be redirected to network.com/newsite.

Unlike RavanH who is using different domains, I am using subdirectories for the different languages.

Thanks

Sorry. I misunderstood and thought you wanted to use one domain per language too. So it should work.

Are you using 1.7.2?
Could you post your Polylang settings?

Just upgraded to 1.7.2. Same thing.

Polylang settings
– The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks
– Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks
– The front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id
– When the front page is visited, set the language according to the browser preference
– Activate languages and translations for media

I have created 2 static pages, one for each languages. Setting – Reading Front Page is set to a static page of one language.

When I visit the mapped domain, it will ping pong with the network site, and ended up with an infinite loop.

Thanks!

Well, I was initially not able to reproduce the issue with my test multisite install (with subdomains).

Setting up a new multisite install wih subdirectories made me run into the same issue with default options of the MU domain mapping plugin.
This is solved by checking the option: ” Map links in /wp-admin/. get_permalink() et al will use the domain mapped URL.”

Hi Chouby,

Thank you so much for helping looking into this issue.

But where can I find the ” Map links in /wp-admin/. get_permalink() et al will use the domain mapped URL.” option? I have looked everywhere but could not find it. I am using the latest (0.5.5.1) version of MU Domain Mapping.

My Domain Options only have the following 5 items
-Remote Login
-Permanent redirect (better for your blogger’s pagerank)
-User domain mapping page
-Redirect administration pages to site’s original domain (remote login disabled if this redirect is disabled)
-Disable primary domain check. Sites will not redirect to one domain name. May cause duplicate content issues.

?? I was using 0.5.5. According to the changelog, 0.5.5.1 is a revert to 0.5.4.3. I did not searched the reason for this revert.

Don’t bother with options anymore. Try putting this in wp-config.php
(or in a file wp-content/polylang/pll-config.php if you prefer):

define('PLL_CACHE_HOME_URL', false);

Works like a charm.

Amazing support. Thank you so so much.

Works for me too. Thank you.
