Background of the issue:
We’ve encountered an issue with localized URLs on our multilingual WordPress site using WPML. For some countries, we localize the URL structure.
For example,
English (US) URL is hidden link
Indonesian (ID) URL is hidden link.
However, the English URL version is also accessible under the Indonesian locale.
Symptoms:
The English URL version is accessible under the Indonesian locale, e.g., hidden link, which should not be accessible as it displays a non-localized slug under a localized prefix (/id-id/).
Questions:
Is there a WPML setting or filter to restrict access to non-localized slugs under localized prefixes?
What would be the recommended way to enforce proper redirects or prevent this behavior?
I would like to look at this directly on your site. For this I would need temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site, preferably to a test/staging site where the problem has been replicated if possible.
The required fields can be found below the comments section. The information you enter is private, i.e. only you and I can see it and have access to it.
I may need to replicate your website locally. To do this, I need to temporarily install a plugin called "Duplicator" or "All in One WP Migration" on your website. This will allow me to create a copy of your website and content. Once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local website. Let me know if this works for you.
IMPORTANT
Please make a backup copy of the site files and database before giving us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, this means your post and site login details are being made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details if you do not see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:
