The plugin blanks my pages – Polylang

I have the same problem. I already reported it more than 2 months ago.

I hope they will fix it soon.

For now I use this code to regenerate permalinks every hour so my site never goes down more than 1 hour:

// Flush permalinks every hour
add_action(‘my_hourly_event’, ‘do_this_hourly’);

function my_activation() {
if ( !wp_next_scheduled( ‘my_hourly_event’ ) ) {
wp_schedule_event(time(), ‘hourly’, ‘my_hourly_event’);
}
}

add_action(‘wp’, ‘my_activation’);

function do_this_hourly( $hard = false ) {
global $wp_rewrite;
$wp_rewrite->flush_rules( $hard );
}

I added the code in Code Snippets plugin with PHP Snippet and Run everywhere settings.

@peterforensys Thank you for this solution. I will try this ??

I have the exact same issue.

It’s started for one customer website only, some months ago. The problem comes apparent by adding a simple check for page ID in the header.php, which is returns EMPTY on the bugged pages, but correct on working pages:

<?php echo ‘ID: ‘.get_the_ID().'<br>’; ?>, This returns empty if the page is bugged.

Disabling all plugins and custom code through functions.php doesn’t alleviate this issue.

If I save permalinks, nothing happens. If I disable and re-enable Polylang, it’s immediately fixed. The issue returns after a random amount of days. Could be 20 days, or 2 days.

We have the same issue. This seems to happen when plugins are updated or when the database has changed, for example importing a new version from a staging server.

Updating permalinks IN polylang usually fixes the issue but it’s extremely problematic that it happens at all.

Any pointers or fix would be greatly appreciated.
