Why hacking $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?

Hi,

found solution. The needed change needed is in the plugin Polylang.

in polylang/frontend/frontend-links.php change

add_action('wp', array(&$this, 'check_canonical_url'), 10, 0); // before WordPress redirect_canonical, avoid passing the WP object

to

add_action('wp', array(&$this, 'template_redirect'), 10, 0); // before WordPress redirect_canonical, avoid passing the WP object

This works on PolyLang 1.7.6 and NextGEN 2.1.0.

What you do is wrong and will break something.

As far as I have tested on my website everything still works after this change.

@mjakop, this is what those changes do for me: https://img.ctrlv.in/img/15/07/06/559a833bd0e98.png

Don’t know where you took that from but template_redirect is not in PLL_Frontend_Links model.

P.S. If you follow the link to gallery in albums, result is: “no images found”. What I do is set: $redirect_url = $requested_url;

To skip this check:

if ($do_redirect && $redirect_url && $requested_url != $redirect_url) {
			wp_redirect($redirect_url, 301);
			exit;
		}

its not global so no harm done, unless the $requested_url doesnt exist anymore for real.

P.S. In my optinion 404 would be better instead of 301, or at least 303. If language doesn’t exist then redirect to something that exists (Something with no language or default one, should surely exist, it 100% more valid to look at some information, than to and information that makes you stressed). If wordpress data wasn’t serialised I would suggest looking up slug with LIKE %first_4_letter_of_slug%, but now, I know not how to do it with serialised data. ?? Thanks for attention ??

This solution don’t work for me.
But in this file i found function called check_canonical_url and add:

if ( is_page_template('page-gallery.php')) {
			return;
		}

for page where I’m using NextGen Gallery.

Yes there are ways to hack Polylang to work around the NextGen Gallery bug putting two slashes in urls (these 2 slashes cause the redirection by Polylang as it is detected as a wrong url).

Another user of both plugins digged into NextGen Gallery code (I didn’t) and it seems that he found the source of the second slash. See:
