Logo URL - WPML

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Clicking on the logo always redirects the client to the default language home page instead of staying on the current language.
Solution:
If you're experiencing this issue and your website was built with Elementor, we recommend translating the header where the logo is located. First, navigate to WPML > Translation Dashboard, search for the header element, and send it to translation. After completing the translation, if the logo link still redirects incorrectly, use the translation editor for the header to search for the logo link and add its translation. For detailed guidance, visit our documentation on integrating Elementor with WPML.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 the issue persists, please open a new support ticket.

homeP	Clicking on the logo always redirects the user to the default language, Home. The user does not remain on the same language.

If your header was also built with Elementor, you can simply translate it. Go to WPML > Translation Dashboard, search for the header element and send it to translation. Finish the translation. If the logo link is still untranslated, once inside the translation editor for the header, search for the logo link using the search field and add a translation. https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/elementor/ Let me know how it goes.

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: hidden link

homeP	add_filter('elementor/widget/render_content', function( $content, $widget ) { if ( 'site-logo' === $widget->get_name() ) { $settings = $widget->get_settings(); if ( 'default' === $settings['link_to'] ) { $content = preg_replace('/href=".*?"/i', 'href="' . get_home_url() .
