Title: Flags and redirection Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Flags and redirection * Resolved [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/) * I have migrated a local WP-installation from MqTranslate to qTX. Everything seems to work except for one important thing: The site is in Dutch (default language) and German (pre-pad). When I change settings to “hide url language info etc.” the Dutch language is correctly displayed. When I use the widget-flags I can change to German, it puts “de” in front of the url. But when I want to change back to Dutch the flags put “nl” in front of the url and thus I get a 404. When I delete “nl” in the browser everything is back to normal. I have read and tried all suggestions here, but no luck so far. * Does anyone have the solution? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/qtranslate-x/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 28 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Author [Gunu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafcom/) * (@grafcom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5837977) * [@marionwante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/), * how are the other settings * Use Pre-Path Mode and Permalinks to Post name? * Thread Starter [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5837995) * Yes… * Regards, Marion * Thread Starter [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5837996) * Flags keep redirecting to “nl” and “de” instead of “” and “de”. No matter how I change the settings. Unchecking the setting for “hide url etc.” resulted in a wrong redirect from admin to website. And the flags showed no change at all. * Plugin Author [Gunu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafcom/) * (@grafcom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5837997) * Maybe an old adjustment in the functions.php from your theme for mqTranslate? * Do you use the qTranslate language selector widget? * Thread Starter [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838000) * Yes, the same as I did before with mqtranslate. * The only thing I adjusted in the theme’s functions.php is registring widget areas. * Plugin Author [Gunu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafcom/) * (@grafcom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838001) * Try to save the permalinks again. * Thread Starter [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838002) * Tried that for at least 10 times every time I changed settings. * Plugin Author [Gunu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafcom/) * (@grafcom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838005) * you could try with a default WP theme if it is also wrong. * Thread Starter [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838008) * Tried that just now, no change whatsoever. * Plugin Author [Gunu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/grafcom/) * (@grafcom) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838009) * and deactivating all plugins apart from aTranslate? * Thread Starter [MarionWante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marionwante/) * (@marionwante) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flags-and-redirection/#post-5838010) * Tried that just now and same result…..
