Hi there,

Great plug-in, we’re thinking about buying the pro version, but before that we notice an incompatibility issue with WPML, when using the ?lang= parameter instead of the /lang URl structure.

For example, course item url’s on a second language page are being generated as:
https://meaningfulcrafts.com/stm-courses/spring-feary/?lang=nl65012

Which should be:
https://meaningfulcrafts.com/stm-courses/spring-feary/65012/?lang=nl

I made a temporary fix for this in classes/course.php:305 to switch those values, which worked but after a few seconds suddenly the URL keeps being redirected back to the bad URL. I cannot find where that is coming from (also cleared cache, cleared opcache, cleared wpml cache, checked for Yoast redirects, flushed permalinks, etc.)

So if you visit https://meaningfulcrafts.com/stm-courses/spring-feary/65012/?lang=nl you will see it is being redirected to https://meaningfulcrafts.com/stm-courses/spring-feary/?lang=nl65012 – causing the user to return back to the course but also in the wrong language. In some situations I can see the correct page but that will last for 1 second max and then I get redirected to the wrong URL anyway.

I’d love to see a compatibility with the ?lang= parameter from WPML, as I suspect this issue might happen on more situations in the plug-in (which I have not found yet though).

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hello,
Thanks for reaching us here!
Please try to follow this guide: https://docs.stylemixthemes.com/masterstudy-theme-documentation/additional-features/wpml
Then please make sure that your permalinks set correctly. You can adjust your links in Settings -> Permalinks -> Post name and press the Save Changes button [https://prnt.sc/w6zg5o ].

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, but could you maybe be more specific?
We already had WPML, so the set-up proces for that will not be followed. It also seems the documentation is explaining WPML itself, but nothing related to the plug-in’s compatibility with WPML.

Permalinks are correct and have been saved, flushed, etc.
Your documentation tells us, not specifically though, we need “Different language in directories” as setting. The documentation does not explain if we can use the other formats.

Could you verify the ?lang= parameter is or is not compatible with the plugin?
Or could you explain us exactly what to do, as we already have WPML which is correctly set-up but has the ?lang= parameter instead of /nl /de or language domain extensions.

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to us!
Sorry for taking your time for this instance. While we were checking the third option “Language name added as parameter” Screenshot, we have noticed that this get parameter option is not compatible with the MasterStudy LMS, but the other two options in the Language URL format settings are compatible. We will update the plugin documentation about this case. Thanks for sharing your experience and it is really helpful to improve our product matters.

Best regards

Thank you!

I need to explain that in the meantime we indeed did switch to the normal language directory setting (/nl, /de. etc.), which in fact did work but then we noticed a JS code appended in the head by the plugin to redirect the ‘start lesson’ page to it’s same URL.

I commented line 592 and 594 in classes/course.php as they keep adding the JS redirect.
Could you please explain us what line 594 means? Line 592 checks if there are no curriculum’s added, but line 594 is eventually what made the redirect on our site – what is that line checking on?

Perhaps we the know why that new redirect was appearing (I can activate that for you in case you need to see it in action) – or is it a bug? Because, I can understand that a redirect has to happen in some situations but in this case it is redirecting to the exact same URL as the user is already on.

Hello,
Thanks for reaching us here!
The file you are telling us does not have the 594lines. [Screenshot] So, it means you are not using the last version of the MasterStudy LMS plugin or you made customization for your website. If your LMS is not the latest release, please update it. In case of the customization, the support team does not provide customization services.

Best Regards
