Wrong URLs on translated domains

  • Hello,

    please I can′t get through one issue I have with Polylang plugin.

    I have default language set to CS:
    https://iof.tomatolaboratories.com

    …and alternative language set to EN
    https://iofen.tomatolaboratories.com

    Both domains are directed to the same directory on the server. Polylang is set to different domain per each language. There is also checked, that homepage will have only language selector in URL, not it’s name. Permalink structure is set to Post name option.

    When I look into the source code on EN site, I can see that URLs of CSS and JS (and others) are linking to CS domain, instead of EN. And this causes problem with displaying FontAwesome icons due to CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing). These files are inserted through the wp_enqueue_* functions, where URLs are constructed with the get_template_directory_uri() function.

    So my question is what can I do to fix these URLs of CSS, JS and other links? I mean via some smart low-level tweaks, not hardcoding URLs of these files into the source code ??

    Thank you very much for the support and also for excellent Polylang plugin.

    Martin

    Hi!

    That can’t work because you are using the same domain.

    Chouby, can you clarify: is the problem that the 2 sub domains Martin is using are part of the same domain?

    Ideally, x.domain.com should get all the css etc from x.domain.com while y.domain.com should get it from y.domain.com. Is that hard to achieve?

    Hi!

    The problem is that things work quite differently when you use different domains or when you use different subdomains.

    So far there is nothing in Polylang to make it using subdomains other than those using the language code.

    Hey, sorry if I’m bumping the wrong topic, but I seem to have a similar problem, with a slightly different configuration. I am using Avada (again this theme!) and I have set up “language based on different domains”, and I removed the page name or ID from the homepage. So I have:

    domain.ru - Russian version
domain.pl - Polish version (default)

    The problem is with fontawesome icons. When I click the Russian version (domain.ru), the Avada fontawesome css is loaded from the default location:

    domain.pl/wp-content/themes/Avada/fonts/fontawesome/font-awesome.css

    which makes the icons disappear. When I change the above to

    domain.ru/wp-content/themes/Avada/fonts/fontawesome/font-awesome.css

    in firebug, suddenly the icons are OK.

    Is there any way to make sure that the proper domain is used?
    the domain name is soluvert, if you’d like to check.

    I found a workaround – I added the following code before the closing <head> tag only for the russian version, and the icons display properly:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.3.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

    Is this a good solution in your opinion?
