Hi there,

Currently, I'm using hidden link as the default slug for the English site and hidden link for Welsh.

If I check the "Use directory for default language" box in "Language URL format" section, hidden link becomes unreachable. Besides using URL redirect in functions.php or with a plugin, where can I make the root slug direct to hidden link in WPML?

Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

BR,
Tom

Hi,

thanks for contacting us.

What you are expieriencing is expected. You need to add a root page. Please check https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/#redirect-the-root-domain-to-the-default-language-directory

Hi Laura,

Thanks for the link. I'd read it before contacting you but I don't want to design a new page which takes way more time than just using a Code Snippets redirect. Thanks for your time anyway.

BR,
Tom
