List posts in all languages but stay in current language when clicking on link

    I need to make a specific page where all the posts are listed in all languages.

    It works with

    <?php
$news = get_posts(array(
'post_type' => 'post',
'lang' => 'fr,nl',
'showposts' => -1
));
?>

    But for example if my current language is ‘fr’ and I click on a ‘nl’ post, the url is ‘example.com/nl/my-post-written-in-nederlands’ and the site switch in ‘nl’. Is there a way to avoid this behaviour and display the ‘nl’ post in the current language (‘fr’) ? Something like ‘example.com/fr/my-post-written-in-nederlands’.

    Yes I know it’s almost like I don’t need Polylang on this page ??

    Thanks

    No that’s not possible with posts.If you need to have posts without language management, you should try with a custom post type (keeping the relevant option in Polylang settings unchecked).

    Ok thanks Chouby, it’s working with a custom post type ??

    Now I have to do another weird thing. On the homepage I need to display 2 post types in the same query, one translated, one not. Post type “post” is handled by Polylang and my custom post type “feedback” not.

    For example, on the fr homepage
    News 1 FR
    Feedback 1
    Feedback 2
    News 2 FR
    Feedback 3
    etc.

    And on the nl homepage :
    News 1 NL
    Feedback 1
    Feedback 2
    News 2 NL
    Feedback 3
    etc.

    If I made this query: ‘post_type’ => array( ‘post’, ‘feedback’), only the posts in the current language are displayed. With ‘post_type’ => ‘feedback’ I can display the feedbacks. Or if I desactivate Polylang the query can merge the 2 post types.

    I can achieve what I need with this query merge code :

    But if you have a better solution… ??

    I would have suggested two queries too. As soon as you query a post type managed by Polylang, a language has to be choosen (if you don’t choose one, Polylang will do it for you) and thus, non-managed post types cannot be returned in the same query.
