[Closed] WordPress multisite setup changes link values after 10mins from update.

Hello there,

Thank you for contacting WPML support. I'd be happy to assist you with this issue.

I haven't received similar reports as far as only converting the category parameters in multisite automatically.

Since you mentioned this only occurs on the staging site, can you make sure the permalinks settings are similar on both the staging and production sites? I would also suggest you check if the .htaccess files are changed for everything this issue occurs.

Also, even though the permalink is changed, can you check the results in the front-end to see if it still works as usual?

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Hi there,

It seems like some plugins or themes are messing with your URLs, and along with WPML, they’re creating the permalinks we have now.

Have you tried disabling all non-WPML plugins, switching to one of the default themes, and checking if the issue still happens?

Remember to make a backup of your site (both files and the database) before making any updates or changes. It’s always a good idea!

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Thanks

Hello,

To further debug this issue, could you please provide me with a copy of your website’s wp-content directory and database backup? I can replicate these files on my localhost and perform further debugging. You can compress these files using Google Drive and share the links with me.

I have enabled the private reply for you.

Thank you,

Hello there,

Can you please try this after a backup and see if it helps:

Go to: wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/inc/absolute-links/absolute-links.class.php in the method: \AbsoluteLinks::_process_generic_text right after:

} elseif ( isset( $permalink_query_vars['category_name'] ) ) {
$category_name = $permalink_query_vars['category_name'];

add this:

} elseif ( isset( $permalink_query_vars['product_cat'] ) ) {
$category_name = $permalink_query_vars['product_cat'];

and see if it helps.

Thanks
