Where is the donate button πŸ™‚ * Actually i have installed and everything works fine so far. * I have one issue. * As I want consistant URLS * like /de/ /es/ /en/ /it/ * I realy do not like to use the root / for any language. But User type the direct URL so what to do with that part of the network, is there any way to redirect by default o by User language to one of the network sites? * That would be great ! * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/multisite-language-switcher/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-structure-problem/#post-3337434) * Seems something like this: [https://github.com/lloc/Multisite-Language-Switcher/issues/15](https://github.com/lloc/Multisite-Language-Switcher/issues/15) * Cheers, Dennis. * Plugin Author [Dennis Ploetner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/realloc/) * (@realloc) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-structure-problem/#post-3337461) * Is this problem resolved now? * BTW There is a donate button which points to [http://www.greenpeace.org/](http://www.greenpeace.org/)… πŸ˜‰ * Thread Starter [andaluzo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/andaluzo/) * (@andaluzo) * [13 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/url-structure-problem/#post-3337462) * I resolved it with * putting the following as index.php in the template for β€˜/’ * ``` ?php /** * The main template file. * * This is the most generic template file in a WordPress theme * and one of the two required files for a theme (the other being style.css). * It is used to display a page when nothing more specific matches a query. * E.g., it puts together the home page when no home.php file exists. * Learn more: http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy * * @package WordPress * @subpackage Redirect */ /** * Detect browser language. * * @param array $allowed_languages An array of languages that are available on the site. * @param string $default_language Default language to use if none could be detected. * @param string $lang_variable Custom user language support.
