Override User Agent header

  • We are using GTranslate plugin and this plugin change the useragent header value for the google bot. Please read below

    As, our website desgin is adaptive, so for googlebot it’s not working as excepted, because the user-agent is changed and it’s always “GTranslate-Translation-Proxy”.

    So Is there some hooks, that we can use to handle with this issue? Means instead of “HTTP_USER_AGENT” header, will get user agent from “X-GT-Real-User-Agent header”.

    Thanks

    Hello @bhushanravi2009

    Thank you for reaching out and I m happy to help!

    Can you please share how is W3 Total Cache impacting this and does the issue occurs when the W3TC is disabled?

    Thanks!

    For our website, we have seperate cache group for Mobile and Dektop. But as GTranslate changes the “UserAgent”, for google bot. So for google bot GTranslate always passes “UserAgent” as “GTranslate-Translation-Proxy” and the real “UserAgent” is passed in the “X-GT-Real-User-Agent” header. Please read below.

    So, is there some hooks defined in the W3 Total Cache plugin, to handle the situtation, when actual user agent is in the different header.
