Duplicated search result

    Hi. When searching for a product (woocommerce search widget) with terms that point to both portuguese (default lang) and english (second lang) the search results show both products, as if they were separate things, instead of only showing the result in the active language. This leads the costumer to a very confusing place.

    For example: https://www.ankurprem.com.br/catprod/cattestept/
    CatTestePt is the category in portuguese
    CatTesteEn is the category in english
    The product Testeprod01 have both portuguese and english versions (same name).

    If I search for “Test” (a part of the products title present in both languages – could be the whole name also) it only shows in the result the product in the active language – awesome!

    But…

    If I use tags (installed the plugin “Search By Product tag – for Woocommerce” so the search uses the tags too), the same not happens. For example, in the portuguese product version I have the tags [aranha, lycosa] and in the english version, their traduction [spider, lycosa], since lycosa is a name.

    Lets suppose I have the portuguese language active. If I search for “aranha”, great, the portuguese version appears. If I search for “spider”, now it can be problematic, because the search returns the english product, but for a portuguese costumer (in this case they shouldn’t be using an english tag, of course, but many terms exist in both languages, and the user getting redirected for an english version of the site without no warning is not so friendly). And the worst picture: if the costumer search for “lycosa”, now both versions are found… “what is it? different products? same product? wow, why suddenly the site changed the language?”.

    Got the point?

    I don’t know, but I think its not so complicated to resolve this issue – since the products title are showing the results properly, in the correct (active) language only.

    Anyway, despite of that, I think you’ve done a great job and this is the better and most intelligent plugin for Woo+Pol available! I’m already giving 5 stars and a endorsement.

    Hyyan, I removed the products and create another one (and its translation). Problem still occurring. Then I deactivated all plugins and activated them again – problem still occurring.

    created another product, a “simple product” now, without variations… the same is happening :-\ this is awkward because ONLY when the “hide default lang url” is checked the problem occur… if I uncheck, it works properly… that’s why I think maybe something still need to be implemented to it work properly (though in your test website it seems to be working).

    Even, when I put the product in the cart, the button “View cart” that appears right on the side of the message “*** was successfully added to your cart.” is OK, pointing to the english cart… and only the cart widget is showing it wrong.

    Ok Hyyan, user set.

    @ankur Prem As I expected , it is plugin conflicts , you have two plugins which are missing things up

    1 – R3DF – Dashboard Language Switcher
    The plugin will set the admin interface language according to the user choise , I am not really sure why you need this plugin , wordpress allows you to install new admin langauges and polylang allows you to change the admin language from user profile by default , but I would like to recommend a replacement for this plugin if you are interested which is wp-native-dashboard.

    2 – Simple Custom CSS

    To be honest I don’t know what is this plugin is doing to mess things up but it conflicts with polylang itself.

    I left the two plugins disabled for now , to make sure the problem is solved

    Yeah Hyyan, it seems to be working now! That’s awkward, because these plugins should not deal with the woocommerce/polylang… anyway, I’ll uninstall them since I can find workarounds for what they are doing. At least we know the plugin is working fine and what can be a potential conflict in the future…

    Thank you so much
