[Closed] WPML functionality

No, I threw away all files from AEDCenter.DE and also the AEDCenter.DE database. Apparently the database belong together. I will put back the backup now

There's a conflict somewhere in the .htaccess. Can you see where?

I uncommented the following line in the .htaccess and everything seems to work except for selecting the HEIM (home) buttong to the page/root: hidden link.

# Redirect all traffic from aedcenter.de to aedcenter.nl
# RewriteEngine On
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?aedcenter\.de$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ hidden link [L,R=301]

# RewriteEngine On
# RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^aedcenter\.de$ [NC]
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ hidden link [L,R=301]

Adding this script to the to the functions.php file of the Hello Elementor Child theme, did not fix the problem:

add_filter('mod_rewrite_rules', 'fix_rewritebase');
function fix_rewritebase($rules){
$home_root = parse_url(home_url());
if ( isset( $home_root['path'] ) ) {
$home_root = trailingslashit($home_root['path']);
} else {
$home_root = '/';
}

$wpml_root = parse_url(get_option('home'));
if ( isset( $wpml_root['path'] ) ) {
$wpml_root = trailingslashit($wpml_root['path']);
} else {
$wpml_root = '/';
}

$rules = str_replace("RewriteBase $home_root", "RewriteBase $wpml_root", $rules);
$rules = str_replace("RewriteRule . $home_root", "RewriteRule . $wpml_root", $rules);

return $rules;
}

- Almost there, but how to finally fix this problem to have it work 100% ?

Everything seems to work EXCEPT for selecting the HEIM (home) button to the page/root: hidden link.

So almost there, but how to finally fix this aedcenter.de root problem to have it work 100% ?

Is this code written to the .htaccess by WPML?

# Redirect all traffic from aedcenter.de to aedcenter.nl
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?aedcenter\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ hidden link [L,R=301]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^aedcenter\.de$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ hidden link [L,R=301]

Hi Mateus,

I also made a video showing that things are still not working. See: hidden link

Most Dutch pages are translated, so I can select GERMAN and I will see a page in German. Great, but then when I select HEIM the site will redirect me to hidden link. See my video. It really drives me nuts.

Can you please dive one last time into my WPML settings and my .htaccess if you see something that's not set-up well? Otherwise I see no other option then to rip both sites apart and to translate AEDCenter.DE manually. It's not what I want because it will cost a lot of (unpaid) time ...

Thanks and cheers,
Marc
