* Hi
* Polylang worked great until now. I didn’t change anything but I have a problem
now.
* My default language is french on [http://www.inspireacademy.fr/](http://www.inspireacademy.fr/)
but now we arrive on [http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en/](http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en/).
The default language set on WP settings is French
* Then, I can’t switch to other lang ecept on home page.
* I try with all plugins off and the twenty fifteen theme.
* WP and polylang links settings are on [http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en](http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en)
and [http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en/%postname%](http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en/%postname%)(
for example)
* Have you an idea ?
* Thanks a lot.

* Hi
Could you provide a screenshot of your English menu with the “About” metabox
opening (Appearance > Menus) and the same thing but for the Spanish language?

* Yes please. You can upload them via [http://snag.gy](http://snag.gy) and link
to them here. Please don’t cut the admin top bar and the left menu on your screenshots.

* In your source code I see that your these 3 pages are sharing the same slug.
How did you obtain that?

* You can’t share the slug `about-the-inspire-academy` with Polylang.
* Have you use a plugin which allows you to share the slug?
Even if you have deactivated
this plugin the issue will remain. Either you reactivate this plugin or you change
your slugs.

* Probably from wpml.
I don’t understand because in the page, url are really different
because of a 1, 2 or 3 at the end of the url.
* But, if I change the slug, it seems to work… I’ll check an other pages

* So,
* It works when i change slug. But I don’t understand why it worked few days ago
with the same configuration.
* About this url [http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en/blog/](http://www.inspireacademy.fr/en/blog/),
it seems to be normal to have :
