Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

Currently, WPML doesn't have a redirection automatically according to location/IP feature. The only automatic redirecting option is redirection according to the browser language.

Please check the following guides to help you set up the plugin.

1) https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/

2) https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/

3) https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/

I hope this helps you. If you need further info, please let me know.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

It's a multilingual plugin, which means you can have any predefined or custom language you want on your site, but WPML won't automatically redirect your visitors according to their IP.

You can have the location redirect function by custom coding or using a plugin. (https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/geotargeting/)

Hi,

Yes, you can create this structure by adding two custom languages. Please check our guide about adding custom languages. (https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/editing-wpmls-languages-table/)

Hi,

The screenshot is from the installation process, please click on Finish. After that, from the left admin sidebar, please hover on WPML, and click on Languages.

If you couldn't see WPML in the sidebar, I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

I checked your site, and the installation seems to be stuck, so please reset WPML and try to re-configure it. In order to reset it, please go to WPML-> Setup-> Troubleshooting-> Reset section.

Before resetting it, please take a backup of your database.

Kindly let me know if the setup worked correctly after the reset.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Most probably database record corruption during saving WPML settings. Did you have WPML before on this site?
