Problem: The client is experiencing redirect loops and chains specifically in the Russian version of their site, affecting category pages. These issues are suspected to be caused by automatically generated category slugs by WPML, leading to conflicting URLs. Solution: 1. Check WPML's Browser Language Redirect Settings: Disable automatic browser language redirection temporarily to see if it resolves the issue. 2. Review Russian Category Slugs: Ensure that the slugs for Russian categories are unique and do not conflict with existing ones. Check the trash for any previously deleted categories that might still be holding a slug. 3. General Troubleshooting for Redirects: Increase the WordPress memory limit by adding
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
to the wp-config.php file. Update all plugins and themes to their latest versions and clear all caches. If these steps do not resolve the redirect loops, or if the solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If issues persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
