[Resolved] Search results from other languages not displaying.

Hi Diego,

Thanks for your response.

I installed relevanssi and it is partially working. It shows the correct results, but when I click on a result from a secondary language is goes to the post of the base language.

For example
1. The website is set to English
2. User searches a Spanish term
3. All relevant posts show (Spanish and English - which is great)
4. User clicks on a Spanish post
5. User gets taken to the English version of the post instead of the Spanish version.

This might just be a simple setting I haven't ticked but I've looked pretty hard. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeevan.

Hi Raja,

Thanks for your guidance.

I did what you said but I still get the same result. I cleared the cache and tested in an incognito window. Perhaps you want to test on your end?

1. Go to sfnonfictionbooks.com
2. Search the word "parkour"
3. Click on the spanish version of the book in the search results.

For me it just opens the english version of the book. I tried with others too.

I'm pretty sure I don't have any customization on the search code. I use a child theme of Generate Press. Here is whats in my functions.php.

<?php
/**
* GeneratePress child theme functions and definitions.
*
* Add your custom PHP in this file.
* Only edit this file if you have direct access to it on your server (to fix errors if they happen).
*/

function generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts() {
if ( is_rtl() ) {
wp_enqueue_style( 'generatepress-rtl', trailingslashit( get_template_directory_uri() ) . 'rtl.css' );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'generatepress_child_enqueue_scripts', 100 );

/**

remove_action( 'woocommerce_external_add_to_cart', 'woocommerce_external_add_to_cart', 30 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_external_add_to_cart', 'rei_external_add_to_cart', 30 );
function rei_external_add_to_cart(){

global $product;

if ( ! $product->add_to_cart_url() ) {
return;
}

$product_url = $product->add_to_cart_url();
$button_text = $product->single_add_to_cart_text();

do_action( 'woocommerce_before_add_to_cart_button' ); ?>
<p class="cart">
" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" class="single_add_to_cart_button button alt">
</p>
<?php do_action( 'woocommerce_after_add_to_cart_button' );
}

/**

remove_action( 'wp_head', 'wp_generator' );

/**

add_filter( 'rank_math/snippet/rich_snippet_product_entity', function( $entity ) {
$entity['brand'] = 'SF Nonfiction Books';
return $entity;
});

/**

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpml_custom_query' );

function wpml_custom_query( $query ) {

if( is_search() ) {

$query->query_vars['suppress_filters'] = true;

}

}

Thanks,
Jeevan.

Hi Raja,

I installed Generate Press and added a couple of test products in English and Spanish.

I tested searching for a Spanish product whilst on the English version and it showed no results (same as my site).

Then I added the code to the functions php. Now when I search the Spanish product it shows up, but when I click on it I get taken to the English version of the product (same as on my site).

So I guess it is reproducing the exact same issue.

Let me know how to proceed.
Thanks.

ok sure. thanks.

But surely this must be happening to many people. There hasn't ever been a fix for it? Seems like something pretty fundamental - that users get taken to the correct page when clicking on a post...

ok,

Well, i appreciate your efforts in any case.

"This is considered as custom work" -- is this something you can provide, or can you point me in the right direction for getting it done?

Ok great. thanks. Ill check them out.
