# Doesn’t handle multiple languages correctly

 * The plugin is installed on a site that auto-redirects homepage traffic to a sub
   directory. E.g. [https://site.com/lang/](https://site.com/lang/). The plugin 
   registers the base site URL as [https://site.com/lang/](https://site.com/lang/)
   instead of [https://site.com/](https://site.com/). Then all paths are listed 
   as /lang/page.html so the full URLs appear as: [https://site.com/lang/lang/page.html](https://site.com/lang/lang/page.html)
   which is incorrect.

 * [@superdifficult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superdifficult/) There 
   is an open GitHub [issue](https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/922) which
   concerns differing “Site Address” and “WordPress Address” URLs from within a 
   WordPress dashboards general settings. This seems like a similar issue to what
   you are encountering. If possible can you share your URL and the language plugin
   you are using? Alternatively you can share your [Site Health information](https://i.imgur.com/Rtkmsba.png)?

   made some improvements to the setup process in the latest version 1.1.2. Could
   you reinstall this new version and let us know this resolves the issue you encountered?
   Thanks again!

 * [@superdifficult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superdifficult/) Can you
   temporarily deactivate the WPML plugin before then testing Site Kite setup? It’s
   a commercial plugin which I haven’t tested myself, but but please test with the
   plugin temporarily deactivated. At present you need to have the “Site Address(
   URL)” and also the WordPress Address (URL) the same during setup. There is an
   open GitHub [issue](https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/922) also which
   you can follow.

 * Hi [@superdifficult](https://wordpress.org/support/users/superdifficult/) – thanks
   for the bug report. I am trying to troubleshoot this issue. Can you please help
   clarify a couple of items from your report:
 * > The plugin registers the base site URL as [https://site.com/lang/](https://site.com/lang/)
   instead of [https://site.com/](https://site.com/).
 * Where is this registered? Do you mean you see this during the initial setup of
   the plugin?
 * > Then all paths are listed as /lang/page.html so the full URLs appear as: [https://site.com/lang/lang/page.html](https://site.com/lang/lang/page.html)
   which is incorrect.
 * When you say “all paths are listed as …” do you mean in the Site Kit dashboard
   under “Most popular content”? or on the WordPress dashboard?
 * I am trying to reproduce this issue and the more details I can gather the better!

 * Also: can you confirm is your wp-admin installed in the root folder or in the`
   lang` folder?
