Urls not identified when moved to a different server with Polylang

  • Hi,

    I moved my local wordpress site with polylang into a different folder in local, updated all urls to point to the new one. It works fine.

    But, when I move to a different server altogether, I get “Not Found. The requested url /en/ was not found on this server.” error.

    I’m able to login to the admin site and make changes. But the subscriber/viewer site is not working.

    As a general procedure, I’ve already re-saved the permalinks, language settings and menu items. But still the issue doesn’t resolve.

    The site works fine on live server when I deactivated Polylang plugin.

    My local setup contains site url as https://localhost:8080. Not sure if this is causing the issue.
    I’m using Polylang 1.7.8 and WordPress 4.2.4

    My settings
    Permalinks: postname
    Static Front Page
    Polylang settings: es & en, left to right
    The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks
    Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks
    The front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id
    When the front page is visited, set the language according to the browser preference

    Please help!!

    Thank you

    Hi
    Have you a folder name /en/ in your root folder?

    I don’t have any folder “en”.

    As per the settings in Polylang, The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks.

    The default homepage for english is displayed on https://siteurl/en

    Do you have some english posts?
    And did you set up a static front page in Settings > Readings?

    Hi Chrystl,

    Yes. I have english & spanish posts. And homepage is set to static.

    That is what I mentioned in “My Settings” section in the question.

    Could you provide a link?

    It’s on a vpn, so I cannot provide you the link.
    However, I can provide any screenshots if needed.

    I can provide any screenshots if needed.

    Yes of where the 404 appear.

    Sure. The error is actually from the server, not wordpress.

    Did you check your .htaccess? I’m not really competent on the server issue.

    Thread Starter teckmash

    (@teckmash)

    Commented everything in .htaccess and even renamed it.
    It’s still the same behavior.

    (@chrystl)

    After renamed it, did you re-save your permalinks in Settings > Permalinks?

    (@teckmash)

    Yes. Still the same behavior.

    To see if your server doesn’t allow the access to the “en” directory: Could you edit your english language in Settings > Languages > Languages tab and change the “Language code” by another code (no matter)?

    Yeah. I’ve tried that immediately after finding the issue. No luck!!

    There should be something with the server configuration which is not allowing polylang to work as desired. May be something do do with the mod_rewrite.

    I’m using XAMPP on my local(Win8) and the server uses the default Apache installation on Linux.

    It’s only your english homepage which doesn’t work or all your english content?
