Won't redirect site correctly

    I’m trying to set up a duplicate test site of my wordpress site, but with the same database. I have copied the site in to a sub directory.

    But the site wont redirect to the directory. It always get back to the root. I first thought it was a htaccess problem. But then found out it isn’t, with a die(); test I could see it actually hit the index file in the sub directory. I have also changed the WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME. But the site is still going back to the root.

    I thought for a while and came to the conclusion that it may be due to the Polylang plugin. Is it using the database siteurl to redirect the site? Can I override this in any way?

    Hi!

    Polylang caches the home url for each language. So after duplicating a site, you must reset the cache by resaving your Polylan settings.

    But I still want Polylang to work correctly for the root site. I don’t want the root site to start redirect to the subdirectory site.

    Is it possible to tell Polylang to just use the WP_ definitions instead of cache datas?

    I don’t understand where is the problem. If you setup a copy with a different db you already have to change the home url in the DB. That’s just that Polylang adds another place where the home url (in all languages) is stored.

    But yes, you can avoid this:
    Put the following line win your wp-config.php (or in a file wp-content/polylang/pll-config.php)

    define('PLL_CACHE_HOME_URL', false);

    This is about a copy with the SAME db, not a different.

    However, your line did the trick. Thanks! ??
