WPML and Redirection

    Hello, according to WPML your plugin is fully compatible https://wpml.org/plugin/redirection/.

    I use WPML for a multi domain setup (meaning website.aa and website.bb) for 2 languages. My main website is hosted under .aa, and redirection works great. How can I also make referral for my second domain onder website.bb?

    When I try to simply add it how I usually to it does not work correctly. I’ve tried switching the WPML back-end language, but that also does not provide a solution.

    Can you give more specifics about what you have done and what you are trying to do? Simply add what? How does it not work?

    Yes, I am in: domain.aa/wp-admin/tools.php?page=redirection.php.

    Then I click add new and want to add a new 301 redirection. I want to redirect a url on domain.bb (hosted via WPML) using this method. However, it does not seem to work. How can I create a redirection on domain.bb using your plugin and WPML?

    How does it not work? I seem unable to provide the source URL as the domain name is different.

    I don’t think this is a solution to my question. My question is related to the use of WPML and Redirection plugin. As of now, they do NOT seem compatible as I cannot get this to work.

    would you have a solution that actually fits my problem? Meaning a WPML site on multi-domain.

    You asked how to create a redirect for a different domain, and the page I included tells you how to do that. Why is it different with WPML being involved.

    I have no knowledge of WPML.

    WPML creates a virtual environment; meaning that visitors can visit de domain.bb but there is actually nothing hosted there. It is all hosted on domain.aa. So I can only edit/add/configure under domain.aa.

    Your plugin states to be compatible with WPML, which is an odd thing if you have no knowledge of WPML?

    My plugin does not state to be compatible with WPML.

    Ok so the page I referenced seems like it would apply and you can use a URL and server match.

    I put the link in my very first message: https://wpml.org/plugin/redirection/

    In that sense it is WPML that claims your plugin is compatible with them. You are unaware of this?

    And thank you for quick answer and the provided solution! On this link with the URL and Server I was able to solve it (Y)! https://redirection.me/support/matching-redirects/
