WPML integration

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are experiencing issues with URL conflicts and redirects when using both WPML and Weglot plugins on your website for different parts of the content. Specifically, using different language directories leads to redirections to the English version, while using a URL parameter for language does not cause any issues.
Solution:
We recommend using only one multilingual solution to avoid conflicts. In your case, since you want to use WPML for blog posts, we suggest discontinuing the use of Weglot and fully implementing WPML across your site to handle all multilingual content. This approach will prevent the issues you're currently facing with URL conflicts and redirections.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, or if it does not apply to your specific case, please check the related known issues and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

jeremyB-34	On my website, I want to use WPML only for blog posts (post-type post) and Weglot. But now it conflicts with the slug. In the blog, if we use hidden link , hidden link or hidden link, it redirects to the English version. But if we use this one (hidden link - French), then we don't face any problem. Is it possible to solve? summary: Different languages in directories ( (hidden link - English, hidden link - French) ) ------ Conflict with Weglot ============ (hidden link - French) --------- no conflict

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks for your message. I’m afraid it’s not possible to use multiple multilingual plugins at the same time, such as WPML and Weglot. This will lead to conflicts, especially with URLs, slugs, and redirects, which is what you are currently experiencing. Both plugins try to control language handling and URL structure, so they interfere with each other. To resolve the issue, you will need to use only one multilingual solution on the site, in this case WPML. Please continue like with only WPML and if you need any help from our side we would be glad to help. Best regards, Dražen

jeremyB-34	Suppose I purchase the WPML Multilingual Blog package so that I can use it specifically for translating blog articles. For the rest of the website, I plan to use Weglot. If I exclude all blog/article URLs in Weglot using the “exclude URLs” feature, will I face any conflicts with the other content on my site?

Dražen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	Hi, I’m afraid this setup is not recommended and will likely cause conflicts. Even if you exclude blog URLs in Weglot, both WPML and Weglot still handle language logic (URLs, redirects, hreflang, etc.), which can interfere with each other across the site. Using two multilingual plugins together is not supported and may lead to unexpected issues. Best regards, Dražen
