If you're experiencing issues where the Japanese and Chinese language flags on your website do not link to their correct home pages, and instead, the Japanese flag links to an outdated page, the issue might be due to redirection rules set in Yoast SEO.
Solution:
We recommend checking the redirection settings in your Yoast SEO plugin (Yoast SEO → Redirects). It appears that the redirection rules you've set for the Japanese and Chinese homepages are causing this behavior. If the issue persists when Yoast SEO Premium is active and stops when deactivated, this confirms that the redirection is functioning as configured within Yoast SEO.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should these steps not address your problem, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket with us for further assistance at WPML support forum.
