 * Hello,
 * First of all, I want to say that I love your plugin! It is awesome and so easy
   to use.
 * The only problem that I am having is that for some reason it disrupts my search
   function in the nav bar. When I test by putting a category or common theme in
   the search, either it sends me back to the home page or gives me a page 404 error.
 * I have contacted my theme developer (the X-Theme), however they have said as 
   it is due to a third party plugin that I will need to contact you directly.
 * Is there anything that I can do to fix this?
 * Please let me know. Thank you.

 * Hi
    Did you have the same problem with Polylang deactivated? Which are the other
   languages?

 * Hi Chrysti,
 * Yes, when I deactivated the plugin the problem disappeared.
 * I am using Croatian, Spanish and Mandarin. Although have only published posts
   in English as I am in the process of getting them translated.

 * Could you ask to your theme author if he uses the ‘get_search_form’ to create
   its search form?
 * Could you please forward him this article to help him to fix a possible issue:

 * Hi Chrysti,
 * I contacted the developers of the X-Theme and they told me that they use: searchform.
   php
 * Is there any way to make the Polylang plugin compatible?

 * Check the option: “The front page url contains the language code instead of the
   page name or page id”. (Settings > Languages > Settings).
    Does it work?
