My site takes me to the secondary language instead of the primary one??

  • Hello good people,

    I have an annoying issue. I used polylang to create a multilingual site and everything works perfect. I have my site both in spanish and in english, however theres a little problem which is that whenever I enter my site the first thing I see is that it shows up in english version instead of the spanish version. Now this wouldn’t be a problem normally but my client speaks spanish and is doing business in a spanish country so he wants it to be in spanish FIRST then if the person wants or talks english he can switch it accordingly.

    I already went to wordpress settings and made the site go to a static home page and set it to the spanish version of the page but the site still takes me to the english version.

    Please help and thank you!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Check the content of .htaccess file, maybe the redirect is set in there.

    Not a .htaccess fix…

    Try these:
    Default language
    https://polylang.pro/doc/configure-the-languages/#default-language

    Detect the browser preferred language
