[Resolved] WPML is Adding /nl/ to Cloaked Lasso Links – How to Stop This?

Hello,

Thanks for contacting us.

While you wait for my colleague to take over the ticket, let me try to help you with the issue quickly.

To be able to add links to pages in other languages, you need to add the following filter to your theme’s functions.php file.

Allow links to pages in other languages

add_filter( 'wpml_sl_blacklist_requests', 'wpml_sl_blacklist_requests', 10, 2 );
 
function wpml_sl_blacklist_requests( $blacklist, $sitepress ) {
    $blacklist[] = 'documentation';
    return $blacklist;
}

In the above code, use the $blacklist array to specify all the URL slugs for the pages in the original languages that you want to link to.

In our example, we want to link to English version of “Documentation” (slug “documentation”). In your case, you would for example use "premium-dip-belt-calisthenics-equipment-by-gornation".

Hello,

it was just the first reply to help with the issue, to not wait.

I am afraid that filter is intended for such a solution when you do not wish to use translated links, since WPML is a translation plugin and it is expected to translate the URLs on translated pages. In such cases when you need to use default language URLs on the translated page we provide a filter that I already shared.

I am afraid for any other solution, you would need a custom solution since WPML does not have an option out of the box for this, for such custom case we suggest WPML contractors: https://wpml.org/contractors/

Hope this helps.
