No way to switch language

    Hello all,
    Here is a problem that I have in fact for years but didn’t solve and slightly got worse wit qTranslateX:
    The language switcher does’nt work, whatever options I use in the languages settings (try on https://viralata.fr )
    I have two languages, fr which is the default one (and I don’t display it in the URL, but it doesn’t change if I do, and en.
    Some years a go, after an update of my site (and a restoration of the database), the language switcher of the original qtranslate started to behave wrongly: possible to go from FR to EN but no way to come back, except by typing the url. It didn’t improve with mqtranslate.
    Now with qtranslateX I can’t change the language at all with the language switcher.
    I searched, tried a lot of different settings from posts around here but never find something working.
    Right now, in the language settings are checked only:
    -Fran?ais as default language
    -Use Pre-Path Mode (Default, puts /en/ in front of URL). SEO friendly.
    -Hide URL language information for default language.
    -Automatically check for .mo-Database Updates of installed languages.
    -Use strftime instead of date and replace formats with the predefined formats for each language.
    -Enable function name compatibility

    I did once Convert database to the “square bracket only” style.

    Permalinks are :Month and name

    I don’t know what to do as english language becomes very important for me. Befor I start again everything from scratch, if anybody has an idea, thanks

    Thanks for the answer, but I tried it already, no change.
    I tried to deactivate all the plugins too.
    And I even tried the plugin “Migration helper” as I’m not sur I didn’t install long time ago qtranslate-slug (but it’s not installed anymore).

    I saw this:

    <option value="https://viralata.fr/en/blender-pour-les-architectes/">Fran?ais</option>
<option value="https://viralata.fr/en/blender-pour-les-architectes/">English</option>

    try to put the language Switcher in the menu; under Appearance – Menus – there is also a Language Switcher.

    Edit: both have the value EN

    Thanks for the help (it’s so good to have responsive support, waited for monthes for answers with Qtranslate original).
    I still used the permalinks with postname, putted the menu on the left with the switcher in it. Still no way to change language. And what is interesting is that the top menu is in french, the content in g=french but the left menu in english…

    both menu items have the still the value EN (?)

    temporarily disable all other plugins apart from qTranslate and see if it then works.

    If it still does not work try a deafault WP Theme – twentyfourteen for example.

    I tried it: disabled everyrthing, keep twentyfourteen… still the same as you can check

    Very strange indeed. Did you used before mqTranslate?

    Can you make a test copy of your site and provide access?

    I used the 3 of them: qtranslate, then mqtranslate, then qtranslateX.
    I have no idea how to make a test copy… sorry.

    if you make a backup of your database and all files from the WP installation (except the wp-config.php file) – you can send them to me via wetransfer.com so I can make a test copy on my server.

    Is that possible?

    BTW, did you read this?

    (@viralata)

    Yes I read it.
    I really appreciate the help!
    I have a lot of media files that are heavy, I suppose you don’t need them

    I just send a mail with a link to the files on my owncloud
    I removed all the galleries and content to make it lighter.
    Hope you can find how to fix it.
    Thanks again

    @viralata,

    I have the files but do not see the copy of the database (?)

    Could it be that you disabled the language cookie?

    If I do that (with cookie previously enabled) – then there is no more way to change language – you will always fall back to the language of the last time you had the cookie active.
