Polylang always redirects to secondary Language

    Hi everybody,

    I got a strange behaviour of the polylang plugin which keeps my going insane:

    The language of my wordpress website is german, my browser language is german. I told polylang that the default language of my website is german, the secondary language is english.

    If I enable “Recognize browser language” and keep my browser set to german, it always delivers me the english version of the site – this is so annoying and ridiculous! Caching, cookies, etc. are no issue as I kept deleting them while testing.

    This behaviour only disappears, if I disable the “Recognize browser language” feature which is not a longterm solution, as my website has to provide an english version for english browsers.

    The theme I’m using is enfold as well as an other plugin for forcing https – there are no other redirects like .htaccess cofigured. Polylang seems the be pretty well configured like out of the box.

    Why is this happening?

    Thanks for every helpful answer and best regards :)!

    Hi and thanks for your reply. My problem is exactly what the op of your linked thread is saying except for the loading time, this is pretty normal in my case.

    But disabling an important and in my case needed feature can’t be the solution of the problem?

    What’s going on here? Is there any possibility of an explanation so that I and maybe other users are able to debug / fix the problem?

    Are you able to use the language switcher at the homepage?
    I think I have a similar issue, my homepage is always shown in English and I can’t switch to Dutch unless I clear the cache. Then I can switch to Dutch but not long because after a while it’s again only showing the English version.
