[Resolved] Logo Link Redirects to Blog Page in Secondary Language – Multilingual Setup Issue
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: You are experiencing an issue where the logo link on your multilingual WordPress website redirects correctly in the primary language but redirects to the blog page instead of the translated homepage in the secondary language. Solution: We found that the problem was due to a translated string (
admin_texts_show_on_front
) that should not have been translated. To resolve this, you should delete the translation of this string. After doing so, the homepage should open correctly in the secondary language.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend checking the related known issues and verifying that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Background of the issue:
I am seeking assistance with an issue on my multilingual WordPress website using the WoodMart theme and WPML. The site in question is hidden link.
Symptoms:
The logo link works correctly in the primary language by redirecting to the homepage. However, in the secondary language, clicking the logo redirects to the blog page instead of the translated homepage.
Questions:
How can I ensure the logo link redirects to the translated homepage in the secondary language?
Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.
First of all, sorry for the late reply; it was due to a higher workload.
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.
Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why 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.
I have switched the languages on my website. Now, Swedish is set as the primary language, and English is the secondary language, but the issue still persists.
Currently, the homepage (hidden link) redirects to the blog page instead of the actual homepage. To access the correct homepage, I have to use this link: hidden link.
What I tested today:
When I deactivate WPML, the homepage link works correctly from the logo.
When I activate WPML, the issue reappears.
I changed the theme, but the problem remains.
I uninstalled Elementor, but the issue is still there.
Based on these tests, I believe that WPML is causing the issue.
I would appreciate your help in resolving this problem.
Thank you in advance!
Thanks for your update. I tracked the issue to a translated string (admin_texts_show_on_front). This string is translated while it shouldn't be. After deleting its translation, the home page opened correctly. (hidden link)
Thanks a lot.
It's working but when I try to do the same on the real site it doesn't work. Could you please do that for me?
Use the same log in info but in the real site (hidden link)
