[Plugin: Polylang] 404 errors with /%postname%/ permalinks

I have the same problem. Links /%postname%/ WordPress returns a 404 error

WordPress 3.5, Polylang 0.9.8, Nginx server.

1 – save the settings again friendly links
2 – I checked on the skin Twenty Ten
3 – I turned off all the other plug-ins

The problem still exists.

(sorry for my poor English;)

which link is 404?

I have the same problem.

It only happened to the root menu, but for the drop down menu is fine.

Home is fine, but the rest of the menu return 404.
I tried to save a new .htaccess
I tried to deactivate most of the plugins that I have installed before Polylang.

Actually, polylang works fine before, probably due to certain plugin have a new update or maybe other issue.

Thank you so much for helping.

smile,

Resaving the permalinks solved the issue for me.

Don’t forget to clear cache if you have any caching plugin installed.

Dear Nabil,

Thank you so much.
I have figured it out the problem long time ago.

In the Settings of Polylang, I chosed this

Keep /language/ in pretty permalinks. Example: https://eiab.eu/language/en/

Hello,

I found the cause of the problem. The functions.php file had code that changed the links to the authors of /author/ to /autor/

add_action('init', 'author_rewrite');
function author_rewrite() {
	global $wp_rewrite;
	$wp_rewrite->author_base = "autor";
	$wp_rewrite->flush_rules();
}

After removing this code, everything works fine ??

Can we somehow accept this change links to sites with plug Polylang authors?

Best regards!

I can’t make anything with plugins and themes which use flush_rules in such a bad way. This function here is executed at every page load and one should *never* do this.

Just comment the line $wp_rewrite->flush_rules(); and you will be able to use the author base you want (go to settings->permalinks and click on ‘save changes’ to manually flush rules).

If a plugin or a theme want to programmaticaly flus rules, it should make it at activation and deactivation.
