Page rule setting with WPML

Hi Saumya,

It’s only 1 site. WPML allows you to configure languages in several ways within 1 wp instance, f.eg you could have:

A) per subdomain:
en.mydomain.com
de.mydomain.com

B) per language slug on other languages:
mydomain.com -> it’s the main language
mydomain.com/en/ -> other languages

C) per language slug on all languages:
mydomain.com/de/ -> language appears even on the primary language
mydomain.com/en/

D) per-GET parameter (no pretty permalink):
mydomain.com/?lang={lang_code}

In my case, it’s setup as C).

It may be that WPML filters the site URL (or you hook on the site URL in a moment when WPML has already filtered it). This is a common problem, W3TC too does it.

As a workaround I’ve manually changed the rule in Cloudflare to mydomain.com/* and I started to get HITs, however it would be better to have it fixed.

Site Address is like: mydomain.com
WordPress URL is like: mydomain.com/v1/

On mydomain.com there’s a copy of wordpress’s root index.php with the last line edited to point to /v1/blog-header.php like:

require __DIR__ . ‘/v1/wp-blog-header.php’;

I dont think you are following. WordPress is actually installed in a subdirectory. Which is v1. permalink/URLs are set to rewrite it so that frontend works without v1. There’s a guide in the codex for this “giving WordPress its own directory”. WPML then rewrites the URLs again according to the language settings. Which is /en/ and /de/ not /v1/.

This just to say that the issue is not my installation directory, but the way you retrieve the siteurl when WPML is active and set to display the language slug for all languages.

Hi Salvatore, yes the problem is that function and it’s the same issue W3TC has when used to minify stuff on a WPML Setup.

Reference for the WPML issue:
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/w3tc-is-not-minifying-files-in-other-language-directories/#post-4436511

Raja Mohammed solution rewrites home_url_regexp() by using get_option(‘home’) in place of get_home_url().

This is the original home_url_regexp(): https://github.com/szepeviktor/w3-total-cache-fixed/blob/d7c4e8f9648f6dde232430feec27d241359761f1/Util_Environment.php#L490

So that should be the issue.

Then again I am having another issue: it seems that pages aren’t cleared properly on edit_post or save_post. They are saved properly thou because if I add the cache buster parameter, they work.

The only way I have to flush CF cache seems to be to purge whole cache, however this comes at a resource cost.

ajax_purge_single_post_cache seems not to work either.

The log just reports:

[2021-01-14 17:48:46] [cache_controller::start_cache_preloader_for_specific_urls] Adding 11 URLs to preloader queue

[2021-01-14 17:48:47] [cache_controller::ajax_purge_single_post_cache] Purge Cloudflare cache for only post id 68 and related contents

However I cannot see the changes on any browser, unless I click “purge whole cache” later.

Thanks

So this is the log after saving a post:

Nothing changes.
Then I purged single page cache via Ajax. The below added.

Then if I click Purge whole cache.

And the cache is finally cleared.

If you want to lurk to the website, is on a test domain so if you write to me at hello [at] sito.express, I can send you credentials.
