Redirection and WPML compatible

    Good morning!

    I am trying to:

    When I change a Product Category in any product, permanent link also changes. Redirection plugin, detects this change and creates a new redirection from old link to new link. But it should do this new redirection for each language set in WPML. But it only creates a new redirection for base language (Spanish in my case)
    For example from original product in NOVEDADES Product category:
    /muebles-antiguos/novedades-amaru/silla-roja-thonet-antigua-c-1900-1/
    Redirection creates new redirection to:
    /muebles-antiguos/sillas-antiguas-sillones-antiguos/silla-roja-thonet-antigua-c-1900-1/

    But it does not detect any changes on the FRENCH and ENGLISH version of this same product.

    I expected to see:
    The following link:
    /en/antique-furniture/new-arrivals-amaru/antique-red-chair-thonet-chair-c-1900-1/
    should be redirected to :
    /en/antique-furniture/antique-chairs-and-armchairs/antique-red-chair-thonet-chair-c-1900-1/

    I had to create it myself instead…

    Is this the ‘expected’ behaviour of your plugin when working with WPML plugin too?

    Waiting for your answer ??

    The plugin monitors WordPress posts. I don’t know how WPML works, but if a real WordPress post URL changes then it should get picked up. If WPML somehow generates the language versions then these won’t get picked up.

    If a product URL changes, it also changes its language versions URLS (I can check the new REAL URLS in my other languages and they do change automatically). So as far as I understand from your message, Redirection plugin should detect also language versions URLS changes, is it correct?

    As I said I don’t know how WPML works. Redirection monitors WordPress posts (not real URLs), and if they are changed in the standard way and fire the standard WordPress actions for posts then they should be picked up. The fact that this isn’t happening suggests that WPML is doing something different.

    Ah, ok, now it is clear for me. I will ask WPML Team if they can have a solution for this issue,

    Thanks for your quick reply!

    Best regards,
