404 Errors for second language + Homepage issue
-
Hello! I am having issues with translations on my website. I have been going around this for 3 days now and I have had a couple of developers take a look for we couldn’t solve all the problems.
Site language: English / second language: Spanish
And below I am putting all the info you require for tickets, for further reference ??Setup: WordPress multisite (but the translations are only on the main subsite)
Page builder: Brizy ProOther plugins: Pretty Links, Wordfence, Autoptimize, Manage WP, Rank Math, WP Code Light, WPvivid Backup
I have another website that uses a very similar range of plugins as I always use the same core tools, and on the other site I never had problems but on this one, I’ve had plenty so I am not sure what I did wrong.
So initially, only the homepage was showing correctly and also got translated. The rest of the pages were showing empty in the default theme (Blocksy) style. But since I built the pages with Brizy Pro, they were empty. And whenever I clicked the Spanish flag, it would throw a 404.
Then, when I deleted the Facebook chat plugin, I got my pages back (instead of the blank Blocksy theme). But the Spanish versions were still 404. Now not even the homepage is correctly link. When I am on the homepage and hoover over the Spanish flag, I see the correct link but when I click it, it changes the link and gives a 404. However, that “new” link is a page that actually exists in the Spanish version of the website, although it’s not my home page…So if you go to the main link https://thewebsitesociety.com/ and try to hoover over the flag, you’ll see the link on the bottom and when you click, it takes you to a different link.
And if you go for example to the contact page (in English) and click the flag, you’ll go to the Spanish URL (which is correct as per my pages), but it also shows a 404 instead of the actual page that I designed.
So, in summary, the issues I am currently seeing:
1. It seems like all the Spanish versions are 404s (although the links are correct as per my backend/the page slugs I created)2. The homepage specifically is connected to the Spanish homepage on the backend, but when you click to go to the Spanish version, the link changes to my about page (studio/estudio) which:
– exists but is not connected to the home
– also gives a 404 error, although it actually existsAlso to note, that I have no redirects set up for this website at all yet.
3. The flag randomly disapears on different pages of the website or on the spanish version, as if I hadn’t put it in the menu. But I have a global menu setup and all pages as translated, so it should always be there… Do you know what the issue could be?
