Hi @mbis, thanks for your response.

I have already played around with different combinations of settings for the plugins to try and figure out what’s causing the bug.

These are the current settings that I have:
– Auto-update permalinks (turned off)
– Slugs mode (use actual titles as slugs, previously set to use native slugs)
– Remove trailing slashes
– 301 Redirect
– Force HTTPS/WWW
– Trailing slashes redirect
– WPML/Polylang language mismatch
– Force 404

One major thing I noticed is that whenever I save the URIs via the URI editor, it accepts the change, except until I click update again via the update permalink on post editor, which then reverts it to the parent-child URI structure.

This bug, it seems, happens only specifically to non-alphabetical characters (specifically with simplified Chinese characters on URIs, for our multilanguage site), so it may have something to do with a third-party plugin, I suppose? Do you have any idea how to fix this?

I also noticed that when saving a Chinese character onto the URI editor, then by accessing the link using HTML-encoded Chinese characters (i.e. %XX%XX), it doesn’t automatically redirect to the equivalent Chinese page, which originally supposedly does. With this, I think I’d have to manually redirect HTML-encoded URIs to Chinese character URIs via htaccess. But if you know of a fix that can solve this, I’d love to hear of it!
