Hi!
Polylang does not allow yet to use the same slug for different languages. This is a frequent request an may come in the future. But ot very soon.

So you’re saying:
1. I can only have a custom (theme) home/startpage in the default language?
2. I can’t have different language content here: bla.com/wordpress/ and bla.nl/wordpress/? where “/wordpress/” is not a “slug” and just the home directory. There’s really no slug since it’s the home page…

Sorry. I did not understand that (I thought homepage was a page). I am sure that you can use bla.nl and bla.com as startpages (that’s how I test multiple domains). It is possible that bla.com/wordpress/ and bla.nl/wordpress/ work too if you enter them as is in Polylang settings. I never tested it.

It doesn’t work for me, I always get redirected to bla.com/wordpress/ when trying to access bla.nl/wordpress/
What could be causing this? (fresh install, responsive theme, all up to date)

ok I tried it with WP-install on top level. Looks like language per domain is not working if wordpress doesn’t reside in the top level. Changed it back to double check and I still get redirected to the default language homepage when trying to access bla.nl/wordpress/ :-/

P.S. language per domain did work on top-level directory…

Is there any workaround you can think of?

Played around a bit more. Had this activated:
The front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id
If I deactivate it, the navigation will work because it will point to the slug like bla.com/wordpress/welcome and bla.de/wordpress/willkommen
which is not so nice structure.
Even then the url bla.de/wordpress/ will redirect to bla.com/wordpress/ when no slug is entered after the root dir of the wordpress install.
Guess I’ll have to restructure my site to get “language per domain” working.

Hey Choub,
can you confirm my issue or is this an error I should look for in my own environment?
Took a quick look at the code, but didn’t find out in time to eventually find a fix for this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
Yes. I checked my code and I confirm that currently it can work only with the domain name bla.com. bla.com/wordpress will not work.

Hey Chouby,
thanks for the update. Any suggestion where I chould have a look for this? Would love to build me a workaround, even if it’s just a static/absolute path.
Thank you!

Dear Choub,
do you see any chance of this issue being resolved within the next 1-2 months or helping me out with a workaround here?
Thank you!

Hi!
It depends on how it will be easy to do.
Could you try to edit the line 52 in include/links-domain.php and replace
return ($lang = array_search( (is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://') . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'], $this->options['domains'] ) ) ? $lang : $this->options['default_lang'];
by
return ($lang = array_search( (is_ssl() ? 'https://' : 'http://') . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . parse_url($this->home, PHP_URL_PATH), $this->options['domains'] ) ) ? $lang : $this->options['default_lang'];
