 * Hello
 * I have a problem with Polylang switching languages. Sometimes I get stuck in 
   a language, I have to delete the cache to make it work again.
 * There are two languages available on my website:
    French: mywebsite.fr English:
   mywebsite.fr/en/
 * To reproduce the bug (in my case at least):
    1. Let’s say we start on mywebsite.
   fr 2. I click on the UK flag and I am redirected to mywebsite.fr/en/ 3. I leave
   the site and come back to mywebsite.fr (or I change the URL by hand to remove“
   en” and press “enter”) 4. I am redirected to mywebsite.fr/en/ 5. And I can never
   go on the French version again. When I click on the French flag, I am redirected
   to mywebsite.fr/en/ and if I enter the URL mywebsite.fr in my browser, I am also
   redirected to mywebsite.fr/en/.
 * Is this a known problem?
    Do you have a solution?

 * Same problem here with WP (5.4.1) using DIVI with Polylang plugin (2.7.2). All
   updated to current versions
    At the moment, I have deactivated Polylang but the
   menus do not change from Greek to English 1. When I activate it, there is a mix
   on URLS and English page links do not work. 2. Also at the WP –> Pages tab –>
   All pages, when polylang is activated only pages in English are shown and not
   in Greek.

 * Hello!
 * The problem is still there and I need an answer.
 * In the meantime I have disabled “Detect browser language”, it works even if it
   is not optimal. (someone who leaves the site in .fr/en/ and comes back to .fr
   will not be redirected to .fr/en/).
    But even with this solution there is a problem.
   Visitors who still have the cache in their browser are still blocked on .fr/en/.
   Any ideas?
 * Thanks in advance!
