Front page links take me to default language

Hi
Did you set up your links for each menus in Menus > Custom links?
EDIT: Sorry you don’t speak about menus.

Could provide a screen copy example of where you have setted up these links in your wp admin.

Hi,

For the “matkakohteet” I put the links to the theme’s customizer. For this theme you are able to set the links straight in the customizer so I have not touched the code for this matter. They are widgets.

In the footer I have added the link in the foote’s code. It’s called company address because that’s the original use of the spot.

/* COMPANY ADDRESS */
		if( !empty($zerif_address) ):
			echo '<div class="'.$footer_class.' company-details">';
				echo '<div class="icon-top red-text">';
					if( !empty($zerif_address_icon) ) echo '<img src="'.esc_url(__($zerif_address_icon,'zerif-lite')).'">';
				echo '</div>';
				echo '<a href="https://www.travelitslow.com/meettheauthor/">'.$zerif_address.'</a>';
			echo '</div>';
		endif;

They are widgets.

For all widgets you have now the possibility to choose to display it for all languages (default) or only one language.

echo '<a href="https://www.travelitslow.com/meettheauthor/">'

You should use the get_permalink and pll_get_post functions.

You can do something like that:

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( pll_get_post (268) ); ?>

Hi,

The widget part work perfectly when I just created two set of widgets, one for each language. Thanks!

But from the second thing, am I supposed to replace something from the new code you gave me with my own urls or? Like the number (268)? If you take the url that I gave you as an example, how would the new code look like?

The interest of the code I gave you is to call the ID of your posts or pages in the right language so you do not use URL.
268 was the ID example of the codex (see the link I gave you above).

Hi,

How should I proceed as my page ID is different for the two languages? This is how my page ids look for the pages in english and in finnish.

.com/?page_id=722&lang=en

.com/?page_id=743&lang=fi

which id should i use? Or should I use some different id than the one shown behind the domain?

which id should i use?

No matter. Polylang will get the ID of the translation.

Use this code below:

<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( pll_get_post (722) ); ?>">My link to a post or page</a>

I now inserted the code in, but it doesn’t seem to work. The whole page is blank if I have the code like this.

So now the code looks like this:

/* COMPANY ADDRESS */
		if( !empty($zerif_address) ):
			echo '<div class="'.$footer_class.' company-details">';
				echo '<div class="icon-top red-text">';
					if( !empty($zerif_address_icon) ) echo '<img src="'.esc_url(__($zerif_address_icon,'zerif-lite')).'">';
				echo '</div>';
				echo '<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( pll_get_post (722) ); ?>">My link to a page</a>
			echo '</div>';
		endif;

What am I still doing wrong?

Try the code below. I hardcoded the “About me” to avoid you to use a localization plugin.

/* COMPANY ADDRESS */
		if( !empty($zerif_address) ):
			echo '<div class="'.$footer_class.' company-details">';
				echo '<div class="icon-top red-text">';
					if( !empty($zerif_address_icon) ) ?>
						<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( pll_get_post(722) ); ?>"><?php
							if ( 'en_US' == get_locale() )
								echo 'About me';
							else
								echo 'About me in Finnish'; ?>
						</a> <?php
				echo '</div>';
				echo $zerif_address;
			echo '</div>';
		endif;

It seem to work like this otherwise but now I’m not able to use the picture I have chosen in the customizer. Now it just displays the text as a link. I would like the upper text to be a picture. Also I would like the text below to work as a link. Now it’s just static text.¨

Also now if I use this same code for the other items, it changes all of them to have about me text below.

The page is like this now https://goo.gl/muKATX

I see that your theme provide a wpml-config.xml so you can use the option “Strings translation” to achieve that (Settings > Languages > Strings translation tab).

The whole problem started with a problem that some things are not listed in strings. And after that I noticed that there isn’t really any way to put the links point to a second language either.

But not the problem is anyways that instead of text I would like to have a picture on top, like it was before, just so that the link would take me to a right language (like the text does now).

Try this code below.

/* COMPANY ADDRESS */
if( !empty($zerif_address) ):
echo '<div class="'.$footer_class.' company-details">';
echo '<div class="icon-top red-text">';
if( !empty($zerif_address_icon) ) echo '<img src="'.esc_url(__($zerif_address_icon,'zerif-lite')).'">';
echo '</div>'; ?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( pll_get_post(722) ); ?>"><?php
if ( 'en_US' == get_locale() )
echo 'About me';
else
echo 'About me in Finnish'; ?>
</a> <?php
echo '</div>';
endif;

Hey,

Thanks, it worked! Otherwise it’s perfect now but would it be difficult to get also the picture hyperlinked also?
