I am trying to optimize my site for SEO onpage, but i found 2 issue with 404 error from WP JSON Oembed at home page with WPML directory url such as
mydomain.com/en
mydomain.com/vi
The WP Json Oembed url of rest pages are okay.
The link to my site hidden link
Is there any way to fix that issue , hope you have any update for this bug.
I just checked the oembed link on my testing website and everything works fine, even if I have the WPML plugin active. Can you tell me if the issue is still available on your website if you deactivate all the plugins except for WPML, and activate a default theme (like Twenty Nineteen), please?
This way we can make sure that this is not caused by some compatibility issues between WPMl and some other plugin (or theme) that you're using.
Also, is this issue going away if you change the language by directories to language as parameter? Last but not least, please make sure that you're using the latest versions WPML. I could find another thread with the same issue but it's two years old (and a plugin update fixed the issue at that point).
I had checked by all the ways as your suggestion and i think this bug by WPML.
This issue only appear at home page with language by directories, and because of the SEO technical i could not change the url to language as parameter.
My WPML is the latest version but the bug is still alive, could you please check again ?
I created new site with default wordpress theme and only installed WPML plugins.
After that, i set the language URL format with Different languages in directories and Use directory for default language.
Then i view the source code of the main page (domain/en) or (domain/vi)
You will see the Wp Json Oembed link like that :
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed" href="hidden link" />
<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml+oembed" href="hidden link" />
And those link got the 404 errors.
I mean this bug is from WPLM with Different languages in directories at home page (domain/vi , domain/en....)
So we do not need to transfer all my website data to your testing server.
This issue had appeared with the blank site with only WPML plugin.
Is there any chance that you could give me access to the new site that you created, please? This way I can have a look at the other options you're using for WPML and see if I can spot what might be causing this.
I could see that you're using the Use directory for default language so I set the same option on my website and used this code for the HTML file:
but the oembed link still works fine. Can you tell me what code are you using on your website for the HTML file, please? The code I added will redirect the base link to the default language.
My new site in localhost so i could not share to you. Yes i set use directory for default language and check the box HTML file, but this box i leave empty. Please view my capture image for this setting.
Radu is having holidays, I am going to step in to help you out.
I have followed below steps in order to reproduce this issue in fresh wp site:
1. Selected ‘Different languages in directories’ option from WPML >> Languages > Site Language > Language URL format.
2. Checked the ‘Use directory for default language’ checkbox and pressed ‘Save’ button.
3. Re-save the site permalinks.
4. Visited home page of my site.
5. Then checked the view source of the home page.
6. Then clicked on below links:
Hi, i'm getting the same error in every translated page (more than 100) of my new website. Yo can make a broken link online check in hidden link and you will find lots of "404 Not Found" errors coming from lines that have "wp-json/oembed..." in the header
Hello @hai-anhV and @reymiC, As Noman is on vacation for a couple of days, I'll continue on this ticket.
Our 2nd Tier has found the cause of the issue and escalated it to our developers. Unfortunately, there is no easy workaround for the moment. We'll need an update from the developers team.
