 * website : [https://www.dynseo.com](https://www.dynseo.com)
    Setting : – Default
   Language : French – The language is set from the directory name in pretty permalinks–
   Remove /language/ in pretty permalinks – Front page : Static Page, and it’s the

 * Hello,
 * I am writing to you because I had issues with my polylang plugin for 3-4 months
   now…
    I have several languages on my homepage: [http://www.dynseo.com](http://www.dynseo.com)
 * but there is a temporary redirection type 302 to page [http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca](http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca),
   the language for French Canada, but it’s a page we barely use !
    I ‘ve posted
   messages in several forums no one has answered me, the people that develop the
   theme we use say to contact polylang plugin.
 * How is it possible ?
 * Many thanks for your help,
 * Justine
 * PS: I don’t know if it’s relevant, but I used to have WPML widget, but i have
   deleted all files.

 * Hi!
 * You probably chose to detect the browser preferred language. In that case, Polylang
   redirects to fr_ca every new visitor if fr-CA is their preferred language. If
   you want to avoid this, just uncheck this option. After this, Polylang will redirect
   every new visitor to the home page in the default language

 * Hello;
    Thank you for your help ! Effectively the option was checked.
 * But there is still a temporary redirection 302 to the page [http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca&#8230](http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca&#8230);.
 * What can i do more ?
 * Many thanks,

 * This could be because this is your default language or because it is the last
   language in which you browsed your site (Polylang keeps the memory of the last
   browsed language).

 * Could you try to delete your cookies? When I visit your website, I am correctly
   redirected to the last browsed language.

 * Many thanks for all your help !
    I ‘ve deleted them, but when i go to this website
   to test the redirection : [http://www.redirection-web.net/](http://www.redirection-web.net/)
 * They say the temporary redirection still exists to : [http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca](http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca).
 * Anyother idea ?
 * Many many thanks,

 * Yes, there is a redirection. But only people having previously visited your site
   in fr_CA will be redirected to this page.
 * You have 4 languages, each having its home page:
    [http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca/](http://www.dynseo.com/fr_ca/)
   [http://www.dynseo.com/en/](http://www.dynseo.com/en/) [http://www.dynseo.com/it/](http://www.dynseo.com/it/)
   [http://www.dynseo.com/fr/](http://www.dynseo.com/fr/)
 * Thus the page [http://www.dynseo.com/](http://www.dynseo.com/) has no content
   and needs to be redirected to one of your home pages. Since you unchecked the
   browser preference option, every new visitor is redirected to the homepage in
   the default language. Returning visitors are redirected to the homepage in the
   last language they browsed.
 * If you don’t like this and want no direction at all, you need to make sure [http://www.dynseo.com/](http://www.dynseo.com/)
   gets some content. You can achieve that by hiding the language code for the default
   language in Polylang settings. Combined with the browser preference option kept
   unchecked, there will be no more redirection. Of course, if you choose this option,
   the url of all your pages in the default language will be changed.
