Title: [Plugin: Permalink Editor] Incompatibility problem with qTranslate – Help! Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Permalink Editor] Incompatibility problem with qTranslate – Help! * Resolved [Gianfranco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gian-ava/) * (@gian-ava) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/) * The Permalink Editor worked great for what I needed for my website. Only problem is that since is a 2 languages (EN, FR) website with qTranslate installed, the“ customized” permalinks for the secondary language (FR) return a 404 page. * I really need to fix this because I can’t have the French version of those pages broken. * Thanks in advance to anybody who will help me out with this. * I can provide the URLs of the pages if needed.

Did you look at the link on the qtranslate forum about Plugins?

I will look forward for the fix and will donate something, since you’re an exemplary plugin author, and your plugin is very useful. * Plugin Author [Fubra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fubra/) * (@fubra) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/#post-1922842) * Version 0.2.1 has just been committed, which should include fixes for qTranslate with per path urls enabled. * I encourage you to download this version once it becomes available and test to see if this solves the problem you were having. * Thanks! * Thread Starter [Gianfranco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gian-ava/) * (@gian-ava) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/#post-1922851) * Fubra, the new version works perfectly with qTranslate now. Thanks a lot, you’re great! * As I told you, I’ll donate, because this is effective support. Thanks again. 😉 * Thread Starter [Gianfranco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gian-ava/) * (@gian-ava) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/#post-1922860) * Sorry, Steve, with the new version of the plugin I encontered another problem. * Languages are fine now, but it looks like Custom Post Types in single view return a “Not Found Page”. * I tried to save the Permalinks options to force a ruibuild of permalinks, but nothing. * I had to deactivate the plugin again, cause I need those Custom Types on, of course. I’ll wait for your reply… Thanks. * Plugin Author [Fubra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fubra/) * (@fubra) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/#post-1922861) * Hi, * Custom post types is one thing that I hadn’t really tested with, so thanks for highlighting the problem. * There was an issue with the way that the destination page / post was being looked up which has now been modified. (Using an array of available post types did the trick rather than ‘any’, which I wrongly assumed would be fine.) * I have committed the changes to the development version, however have not tagged it as a stable release yet. * Would you be willing to test this version on your install and see if it solves the issue before I release it as 0.2.3? * The development version .zip file doesn’t appear to reflect these changes yet, however you can replace index.php with the following: * [http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/permalink-editor/trunk/index.php](http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/permalink-editor/trunk/index.php) * Thanks, * – Steve * Plugin Author [Fubra](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fubra/) * (@fubra) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/#post-1922862) * Looks like the .zip file is now updated and is available here: * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalink-editor/download/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/permalink-editor/download/) * The ‘Development Version’ can be found at the bottom of the list. * Thread Starter [Gianfranco](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gian-ava/) * (@gian-ava) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-permalink-editor-incompability-problem-with-qtranslate-help/#post-1922871) * Hi Fubra, I tested the Development version and I still got the same problem with Post Types. * The website is this: [http://manonuda.com](http://manonuda.com) The post types that doesn’t work are in the agenda section. * I will deactivate the plugin again, so it will work as soon as the plugin’s off. * Thanks for leeting me know about further updates.
