Default language can't be chosen

Thx for your commitment! The updated code works.

@baga: What does that hreflang-problem do??? I noticed the redundancy as well as an actual technically wrong URL for default language as actually there shouldn’t be a pre-path language code. (wwww.xflow.eu/de is wrong).

Is this the same problem you claimed to solve with the new qtranxf_detect_language_front code?
——————————————
Upgraded to latest version.
Hide URL language information for default language is checked
Browse through the site in English(default) – everything looks good.

When I switch to French language to read a post, then switch back to English, the URL shows properly, but the content on the page remains in French. Even if I force it to /en/ in the url, it still shows French. It’s as if a rewrite is occurring in the URL, but the content on the page remains in French.

When Hide URL language information for default language is unchecked, the switch back from French to English works properly, but now /en/ is placed the URL. I empty the cache. Then my whole site goes down – screen says endless loop and alternates between /en/ and /. Tried in Chrome and Firefox.

I then checked again the setting “Hide URL language information for default language”, clicked save. Emptied cache and the site seems to work fine.

@kuchenundkakao first of all thanks for your new fix which works perfectly for me.

About your suggestion for the duplicate hreflangs, I’ve found out how to fix it, just open qtranslate_frontend.php and comment out line 47:

echo '<link hreflang="'.$language.'" href="'.qtranxf_convertURL('',$language,false,true).'" rel="alternate" />'.PHP_EOL;

@xflow you can try that.

@leslierad The Language Chooser seems to work fine on my site. Can you give me the url so i can look at the problem?

@tfagen did you mean me? if so: which problem do you mean? I’m confused ??

BTW: if somebody needs to sort posts by title in different languages, you can visit my website for some code ??

Happy Coding,

After updating the core file suggested (by kuchenundkakao) and replacing the function as requested, I can only switch back to my default language from my home page.

Try reading some blog articles in French or Spanish, then switch back to english. You can only switch back to english when on the home page.

Hmmm…. this is pretty weird…

It looks like the cookie is set to english first, then again to spanish…

Which settings on qtranslate-x do you use? Hide Prefix on standard lang activated? Standard language = english?

Maybe your server has some kind of caching enabled?

If i reproduce the problem in firefox, then copy the (english-URL-spanish-text) into safari, it should show me the english content (because there is no cookie set yet in safari). But here it also shows me the spanish version.

Please check if your wordpress or server uses some kind of cache which delivers the content instead of wordpress.

Happy Coding,
Kuchenundkakao

Yes. WP Engine Hosted. Their Cache is enabled.

When I turn off the cache, the language switching is worse. If I just delete the cache, the problems clear up for a while.

Strange I have this plugin on 2 other sites, with no code mods and no problems. One even has Visual Composer.

Life was so much easier with a stable plugin like mqtranslate. I think we will have to go back to it if these incompatibility issues are not fixed soon.

we must invest to get life easier ??

THANK YOU kuchenundkakao!! You saved my ass from this last update! Your snippet of code worked like a charm! ??

Hi All: does this new article clarifies the things well enough: https://qtranslatexteam.wordpress.com/2015/02/26/browser-redirection-based-on-language/

This thread became too long and clattered. Please, if you observe something broken, open a new thread providing very specific steps on how to reproduce the problem, like @kuchenundkakao did at the end of this issue discussion: https://github.com/qTranslate-Team/qtranslate-x/issues/33

BTW, a new 3.2-b3 release candidate is available on GitHub, which you can download with ‘Download ZIP’ button on GitHub page or press here for the sake of convinience.

I would really appreciate if you could test it and let me know if you find any new problems. Thanks a lot.

Hi John

With v3.2.2 the default language problem is back. I’ll apply kuchenundkakao’s function replacement again.

Florian

Thanks for your post xflow. Thought I’d check here first before I ran the update. I’ll just hold off on until the issue is addressed.

John, are you able to include kuchenundkakao’s function in future updates.

I’ve tried disabling “browser redirection” and the problem still existed.

Thanks!

Same problem here!
