koenD	Hi, Wordpress will be hosted on the following url: example.com/guides So WordPress will not be installed on the root of the domain. I was wondering if the following site structure is possible with WPML: - example.com/guides/en/my-english-post/ - example.com/guides/de/my-german-post/ - example.com/guides/es/my-spanish-post/ Best regards, Koen Driessen

Yes, if the site is installed in this subdirectory (/guides), the format you shared will be correct. For the rest of the languages, you will use this format: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/language-url-options/#different-languages-in-directories For the default language, take a look here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/ That should be all that you need to do.

koenD	Sorry, I made a mistake. This is the setup that I actually want: - example.com/en/guides/my-english-post/ - example.com/de/guides/de/my-german-post/ - example.com/es/guides/my-spanish-post/ I guess that complicates it a bit?

Yes, that wouldn't be possible if the site is installed inside the "guides" directory. There's no way WordPress or WPML would have access to add things in the URL before the "guides" directory. If you want to be able to use that, the site should be installed in the main/root folder the domain is connected to. Mihai
