Broken Links when switching views on multilingual site

[Clemens]

I’m using Events Calendar Pro on a multilingual page (with WPML). Everything works well enough, but the view-switcher in the event overview ist broken on alternative languages.

For some reason it builds URLs using the following format:
http://example.comevents/photo/?lang=en

Note the missing “/”.

This can be tested at /events?lang=en (Base URL is set to private).

Good evening Clemens and welcome to the Events Calendar Support forum!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

We are sorry to hear about the issues you have been experiencing while using our plugin with WPML. I would love to help you with this topic.

First off, I would highly recommend you read and apply the recommendations found here: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/setting-up-the-events-calendar-with-wpml/

Secondly, at this point I would recommend switching to one the 2 other methods for multi-language support (directory or domain based). If nothing else, this is much better from an SEO perspective.

The other reason being that you are right, we currently do not offer full support for the ?lang= method.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Switching to directory-based did indeed solve this issue. Thanks!

Good evening Clemens,

I am super stoked that this fixed things for you!

You are welcome back in our support forums any time 🙂

Have a great weekend!
