I am trying to: hidden link template redirect to hidden link When I enable WPML the redirect stops working. I have installed WPML on Dev Environment.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link shows too many redirects

I expected to see: hidden link it will open this page properly

Instead, I got: Too many redirect issue.

Below is the code for template redirect which is working fine when WPML is disabled for reference:


add_action('template_redirect', array($this, 'redirect_kids_home'));
                /**
		 * Redirect kids home page to archive page
		 */
		public function redirect_kids_home()
		{
			if (is_singular('lps-kids')) {
				$uri = trim($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '/');
				$query_string = sanitize_text_field($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);

				if ($query_string) {
					$uri = trim(str_replace('?' . $query_string, '', $uri), '/');
				}

				if ($uri !== self::$kids_page_slug && get_page_template_slug() === 'page-home-kids') {
					$redirect_url = home_url(self::$kids_page_slug);

					wp_safe_redirect($redirect_url, 301);
					exit;
				}
			}
		}

I have debugged this code and I was not able to find anything. Please guide further.

When WPML is not active hidden link shows the content of this page hidden link

Kids is the slug of CPT and should display the archive page, so why does it work this way?

Is there any tweak beyond this? If so, can you give us details?

It is meant to display the kids home page using
add_action('template_redirect', array($this, 'redirect_kids_home'));

I have shared the code for the same in the thread. If we disable WPML this will work.
The code is in theme lps -> inc -> CustomPostTypes.php file. Please do share if you need more details.

I see, but we cannot debug the whole theme, given that this is https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/template_redirect/ function, there needs to be a way to test this in our sandbox with bare minimum code.

Only then we can debug this, because as of now we have no such reports so it is possible that something within your theme is also influencing this and we don't debug custom themes.

Let me know and I will prepare a new sandbox.
