    Hi,

    First of all thanks to you for a really great plugin. My problem is when using Polylang the search function doesn’t work. I use two languages: English and Türkçe. The search function not working because Polylang adds the language extension to the url. Like “homepage.com/tr/” And while searching this becomes “homepage.com/tr/?s=search_word”. If i remove “/tr” extension manually the search works.

    Is there a way to do that autamatically?

    I have already tried reverting to a default theme. But it doesn’t change things. Search works on default language (English) but it is like that: “homepage.com” It doesn’t have extension like the Turkish one.

    It was the nginx.

    Change try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; to try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;

    And that’s it! The plugin works properly now!

    I have this same question, but I don’t understand your solution (what is nginx?). Exactly where in the code are you changing? Is this editing the Plugin or the website itself?

    the solution is…in polylang goto Languages > Settings > URL modifications and enable “The front page url contains the language code instead of the page name or page id” and that will fix the search.
