   Hi there,

   I've installed the latest Polylang plugin on WP 3.3.1 and got only a few subsites translated to other languages. The "home" page is still in english only (the majority of the website is english). For that "home" I've got a separate anchor outside my usual navigation. The href attribute is set to "<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>" which should be the "home".

   But if I'm on a translated page, for example a german one, and then click on my "home"-anchor I will land on http://domain.com/de instead of http://domain.com/

   I do not know what went wrong. The documentation did not help me.

   Are there any suggestions?

   Kind regards
   Alex

   This is a desired feature to send the visitor on the German homepage (rather than on the default one) when he is browsing the site in German. Polylang filters the call to home_url( '/' ) to obtain this result.

   And how do I get around this? Because my homepage is english only.

   edit include/core.php at line 97 and replace
   

   add_filter('home_url', array(&$this, 'home_url'));

   by
   

   //add_filter('home_url', array(&$this, 'home_url'));

   Thank you. Hope it will be an option in the future, so that updating the plugin is easier.

   I've had this problem and tried changing to...

   //add_filter('home_url', array(&$this, 'home_url'));

   ...but I still get the same problem.

   @ Alexander
   There is a better way which will not be overwritten each time you update Polylang. You can add these lines in a personnal plugin (or in the functions.php of a child theme) instead of editing the Polylang file:
   

   function remove_home_filter() {
   	global $polylang;
   	if ($polylang)
   		remove_filter('home_url', array(&$polylang, 'home_url'));
   }
   add_action('wp', 'remove_home_filter', 99);

   @ abuhaafidh
   Could you describe exactly what is your problem ?

   I've posted the question here, but I guess you closed the thread for some reason.
