@shaun1733 – i’m based in the Netherlands…the weird behaviours was only when i went into responsive mode – tablet…for desktop i had no issues in safari ??

“what i remember from the previous version of my slider was that at one point the incorrect links were used… they worked at the beginning but after that they somehow stopped working…”

what i meant is that after adding the correct links to the slides…the slider worked properly but only for a short while..

Hi @mohammedeisa & @kbat82;
I will answer one by one.
@mohammedeisa
what you did was correct…now place the links for en in the arabic slides hit save. check to see if it works properly and then copy the old ones back. Check to see if they work properly.
@kbat82
i think that is not needed as Polylang was not the issue. As mentioned…i took polylang down and the links were still behaving the same way… i also had the same links down the page and those worked but the ones inside the slide did not.

Here are my findings from yesterday evening:
I managed to make it work but it was only luck that helped me. What i did was the following:
– created brand new slider + new slides …copied content from old slider..checked links on front end. Result: same weird behaviour.
– created new slider + new slides + new content. Checked links on front-end: worked properly.
– deleted all new sliders ….changed original slider -> added new slides -> new content – links did not want to work….
– deleted all slides in the old slider …created new ones with new content (all the time i used the same links); now links work properly.

what i remember from the previous version of my slider was that at one point the incorrect links were used… they worked at the beginning but after that they somehow stopped working…
I am using Autoptimize in parallel with polylang and metaslider…but after removing the plugin i still had the same issue…so it could not have been that plugin…no other caching plugins are being used…
– i would gladly upload a recording of my screen if i had the option or am allowed to add links… i think that would have been of great help to you.

As a conclusion… i am closing down this thread but i might reopen it if the behaviour comes back…
P.S.: @kbat82 @mohammedeisa is there some sort of caching being used in the plugin ? i did not have time to investigate the plugin so i hope maybe you guys can shed some light on this.

the issue is with this plugin…removing the polylang plugin does not influence the links … i have the same ling placed lower on the page in another container and that one works just fine .. it is only the link inside the slider that does not work properly… i tried creating a shortcode placing it in the slide caption along side the other link and still the same thing happens. Using the URL option under the caption also suffers from the same behaviour …

@shaun1733 here is what i found:
Chrome, Safari, Firefox dev tools show no problem in showing the content when Ipad was selected. But I came across 2 things:

– Safari: for unknown reasons gets blocked – maybe by the server or some plugin that you have for set for security. Don;t know if i am allowed but here is a link to a print screen: https://postimg.cc/BXz1TyxM it gives me a error1010 access denied (Access denied | monsterraffles.co.uk used Cloudflare to restrict access.)
– Firefox:
this did not happen always but in some cases the slider would not render until i clicked on accept cookies… so u might want to check how css is being enqueued ??
hope this helps

which version are you using ? and is there a link that we can take a look at … i never came across this issue before…

@mplusb sorry for answering so late…the plugin does work properly…the issue was my own code … ??

Hi @lriaudel i see that the link: https://colibris79.fr/calendrier/aujourdhui/ actually works…so you might be right that it needs to be better sanitized

Hi @lriaudel can you please do the following step and let me know if it works:
go to settings-permalink…and hit save

@jim5471 I managed to find the issue after using a sandbox environment.
i did the following steps:
– changed events slug
– checked all the language updates via WP Update tab
– Checked permalinks (clicked save)
I am using Post name based permalinks and by just clicking the save button the permalinks have been rewritten to the correct ones;

@samueljclemens – can you please confirm this fix ?

@jim5471 i made a sandbox environment…and redid the steps you mentioned. it worked properly. So my culprit for the moment is now the theme itself: using avada theme for the moment. Thanks.

@jim5471 thanks for the reply…i completely removed the languages folder did the updates ( before that everything was up to date ) and redid the updates…the issue is still present. Still the same weird links.

@jim5471 sounds interesting…which translations did you update? i looked in my /wp-content/languages/plugins/the-events-calendar-nl_NL.po and i saw that the translations for month and list are already there; only the day one is wrong.

if you look at the href of the element… you will see a weird url like the one i gave you ??
or maybe i am doing something wrong….i am curious to see which translation file was updated

@samueljclemens i tested this on your site and i get the same thing: the url is not correct. So if you want to see the list format use this link: https://www.volksschule-herbststrasse.at/events/list/
or the day format:
https://www.volksschule-herbststrasse.at/events/today

@jim5471 i tried your solution but it still does not work. I am forced to use NL language and in my case the slug is: evenementen. If i choose a list format: the url that i am getting is: /evenementen/(/?:list)/
if i manually change the url to: /evenementen/list then it works.
my solution for the moment is simple by using JS to change the urls to the correct format … until the plugins will fix it with an update
