Background of the issue:
I am trying to use WPML on my site hidden link. I've just entered the first translations but I cannot open or preview them. It always redirects me to the main page. I suspect there might be a problem with the .htaccess file. Here is the current .htaccess configuration: # BEGIN WordPress # Die Anweisungen (Zeilen) zwischen „BEGIN WordPress“ und „END WordPress“ sind # dynamisch generiert und sollten nur über WordPress-Filter geändert werden. # Alle Änderungen an den Anweisungen zwischen diesen Markierungen werden überschrieben. RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}] RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L] RewriteRule ^nl/wp-login.php /wp-login.php [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^en/wp-login.php /wp-login.php [QSA,L] RewriteRule ^de/wp-login.php /wp-login.php [QSA,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] # END WordPress ...
Symptoms:
Translations not working; redirects to the main page instead of opening or previewing translations.
Questions:
Why are my translations redirecting to the main page?
Is there an issue with my .htaccess file affecting WPML?
I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.
Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.
Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.
✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
