In reply to: [Oblique] Problem with tag searches: Page Not FoundI have no idea how that happened!
I did change the permalink style to see if that helped, and it changed the behaviour, but didn’t actually solve the problem — searching for the tag “transport” took me to the first page whose slug started with “transport…” rather than showing search results, while searching for “animals” gave me the same “Page Not Found” as before, apparently because there’s no page with a slug that starts with “animals”.
Since then I’ve created a child theme and just added a URL to the featured images in my child theme… and suddenly tag searches work.
I’ll probably never know why! Thanks for your reply anyway.

In reply to: Auto-repair tables debugging, pleaseThanks for the suggestion. As I said above, bizarrely the site suddenly worked again a couple of minutes later.
I unintentionally re-visited the “table repair” URL (I closed my browser and re-launched it, which re-opened the page) and the second time it reported that all the tables were fine.
Probably a server issue then (it’s on shared hosting, not under my control).

In reply to: [mqTranslate] New problem: menu link to `?lang=de` no longer worksHi chsxf. Thanks for your reply, and sorry it has taken a week for me to spot it!
The site is currently working, but only because I’ve done the hack described here:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/bug-with-absolute-url-in-menuAs a test, I’ve just updated mqTranslate on the site (to the latest version, 2.6.7) and the problem has returned. We can no longer switch languages. I’ll leave it like that for a day or two to show you (as I think most of our visitors are bilingual anyway!)

In reply to: [mqTranslate] Custom menu links bugI have the same bug, described here:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/new-problem-menu-link-to-langde-no-longer-works?replies=1I use custom menus to switch languages (linking to
lang=enetc.) but now they’re broken. 🙁Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [mqTranslate] Mqtranslate; Language is removed from url in menu url settingsI think my post is a duplicate of this one.

In reply to: [mqTranslate] widget choice of languages main menu available?I posted a method for doing this a couple of months ago:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/qtranslate-how-to-add-language-switcher-button-in-menu-bar?replies=34(Scroll down to the comments and search for my name).
Unfortunately the method has suddenly stopped working after the last update to mqTranslate. Specifically, even though my menu items are meant to link to
?lang=frand so on, they’re actually linking just back to the homepage. Hopefully that’ll be resolved soon.Hi Janet.
If you’re new to WordPress and to qTranslate, you probably don’t want or need to delve into tweaks like the ones in this thread.
There is a language chooser included with qTranslate, as a widget. From the WP dashboard, choose Appearance —> Widgets, and drag the “qTranslate Language Choose” from the left side into one of the “widget areas” on the right. You should then see the language chooser appear on your website.
As for creating separate subdirectories with the content in different languages — you don’t have to. With qTranslate installed, any time you edit a Post or a Page, you can do so in as many languages as you have enabled in qTranslate. You just create the content within WP/qTranslate, and it Just Works™.
If it’s not working for you, can you describe what you expected to happen, and what is actually happening.
iLucato asked: “I wonder how to create a WP menu for two languages […] where by selecting a language it gets to change the language and keep on the same page/content instead of sending to the home page…”
You can do is like this:
- In Settings —> Languages —> Advanced settings, set the “URL modification mode” to the first option, which is “Use Query Mode (?lang=en)”.
- Scroll half way down the page and click the red “Save changes” button.
- Now follow the instructions above for Solution 2, but for each of the menu items, instead of /[your root directory]/en/ for the URL, just enter ?lang=en, replacing en with whatever language codes you’re using.
Et voilà ! The language switcher in the main menu allows you to switch languages on any page without being thrown back to the homepage.
You can see it in action on the (as yet half built) site here: http://strilo.co.uk/123soleil. If you click on one of the (mostly still blank) pages from the menu at the top, you can then switch languages and see that you stay on the same page.
Hope that helps.
