This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client's multilingual shop, with English as the primary language and Dutch as the secondary, was experiencing issues with language redirection during searches. Initially, searches in the Dutch version redirected to the English version. After clearing the cache and reoptimizing SEO data, the issue reversed: searches in the English shop redirected to the Dutch shop.
Solution:
It was caused by the option "Merge inline extra css and javascript" in wp-optimize.

Hi! My shop is in EN and NL, EN being the primary language and I'm using the directories for the languages (see image). The problem was for a long time that when you're searching in the NL shop, it switches to EN. After some help of the AJAX search plugin people in this ticket: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-not-working-with-wpml/#post-17765591 When you search in the NL shop you'll get the NL result but when you search in the EN shop you get switched to the NL shop. Ernest from AJAX Search plugin said it might be that which ever language gets cached first is the one the redirect goes to. Do you think it's a caching issue? Other reason could be that the home_url gets stripped of the language directory during the search. So not sure is it a wpml , caching or search plugin issue.  |
