Background of the issue:
I searched my page on google.com, and it directly pointed to the French language. I want the page to point to English. The site I need help with is hidden link. I tried searching 'how to tell if lululemon is fake' and clicked on our site, but it points to French instead of English.

hidden link

Symptoms:
The website redirects to the French language version when it should point to the English version.

Questions:
Why does my site redirect to the French language instead of English when searched on Google?
How can I ensure my site points to the English version when accessed from search results?

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'd be happy to assist you on this issue.

I checked the mentioned page, hidden link and I can see it doesn't have translations available in English.

Am I missing something, if it doesn't have english translations then it will refer to that page.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

No, it's only English post, no French, that's the problem.

May I send you my credentials to enter my website dashboard?

Hello there,

Sure, To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me with those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.

Hello,

It looks like the post type is currently set as untranslatable. To resolve this, I recommend updating the sitemap on Google and creating a redirect. The URL may have been accessible previously, causing this error. Please note that it may take a few days for the changes to reflect, depending on when Google crawls the site. Keep an eye on it, and let me know how it goes.

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you.
