• Hello,

    I have encountered the following issue when combining Redirection with Polylang = both popular and widely used plugins.

    What happens:
    When changing post or page slug, Redirection plugin can generate automatic redirect that incorrectly targets posts from other languages as well.

    When does this happen:
    When you change slug of any post or page and the following conditions are met:
    1. Redirection is configured to monitor slug changes on Posts and Pages – in order to automatically add a new redirect.
    2. Polylang is configured to use different domain for each language, thus allowing posts in different language to share the same slug.

    The redirect that is automatically generated by Redirection plugin does not account for domain names. This results in redirects even in posts / languages that should not be affected by the change.

    Proposed resolution:
    Add True / False checkbox to Redirection settings. When enabled, domain name would be included with all new automatically generated redirects – ensuring that posts sharing same slug while on different domain no longer can be confused.
