Redirect loop when switching language

    Hi,

    I’m currently fixing issues on a WordPress page that uses Polylang. The thing is: Although most of the content is translated via Polylang the front page is not static (it’s the dynamic front page shipped with the theme).

    So when I switch the language using the language switcher I keep getting a redirect loop in some browsers (almost always in Safari, sometimes in Firefox and almost never in Chrome). I think that has something to do with the fact there are no language specific static front pages.

    I’d be super grateful if someone who’s familiar with what goes on under the hood in Polylang could explain me, what might be going on here.

    This is the page link: http://www.poryes.de/ (Feel free to switch languages back and forth – I recommend using Safari to reproduce the issue).

    Cheers,
    Fred

    Hi!

    Sorry, I am not able to reproduce on your site. Note that Polylang acts only on server side (no javascript is loaded by Polylang on frontend). Thus the comportment of Polylang should not depend on the browser.
    I suggest that you look for a conflict with your theme or another plugin.

    Hi Chouby,

    thanks for the quick reply!

    I think every browser has a different threshold of redirect loops before the connection is terminated (I think the message you’re seeing in a browser has nothing to do with the HTTP status code).

    Unfortunately deactivating all plugins but Polylang changed nothing.

    I don’t see any redirection when I browse your homepages.
