Just curious, adding the homepage link to the Wordpress 3 menu the "Home" link will always redirect to the homepage in the default language. Pages and category links are working fine, only the link to the homepage is driving me nuts. :twisted:

Is there perhaps a workaround?

I know how you feel.
This posting is the same issues.

Clicking on the header (Banner) works fine and takes the user back to the home page without changing the language.
I presume that it does a qtranslate query because the url has the lang= in it.
Perhaps the WP3 custom menu item could be pointed to the same place as the header?
Perhaps point the home url to a .php that does a qtranslate query?
Any php experts out there?

I think there is no solution because the WP menu uses a simple link to the homepage, see the screenshot. Or hacking something in the files wp-includes/nav-menu.php or wp-includes/nav-menu-template.php.

Anyway, clicking on the banner works.

Okay, this appears to work just fine.

Create a page titled "Home".

Under settings/reading, set Post page to Home, and leave front page to "select" (ie: dont set it).
But , set front page to "static".

Under Appearance/Menus, select Home as the first menu entry (being Home).

Save.

I
Selecting another language and clicking home or the heading stays in that language.

Coming into the page from the base URL, defaults to the Posts page which is "Home" and in the default language.

At least it os working for me

Got it working, thanks!

- but it messed up the Yoast Breadcrumbs...

Will try another time after the holidays....

Thanks for that idea! I'm using it for now although it's not ideal because the browser URL field now says

Code: Select all: example.com/de/home/

instead of just

Code: Select all: example.com/de/

Any way to have it show the "real" home URL?

I guess this is related to viewtopic.php?t=1666

Another try with a template from one of my WP themes, and this one seems to work using the nav menu of WP 3.01. Credits go to the coders of http://www.woothemes.com
Creating a page with a redirect template you can fill in the links to the homepage in the relative language.

Code: Select all: <?php /* Template Name: Redirect */ ?> <?php /* USAGE INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Create a new page in WordPress 2. Add a title to the page (e.g. WooThemes) 3. Add an URL to the content of the page (e.g. http://www.woothemes.com OR woothemes.com OR www.woothemes.com) 4. Select "Redirect" as the page template 5. Publish! */ ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php $URL = get_the_excerpt(); if (!preg_match('/^http:\/\//', $URL)) $URL = 'http://' . $URL; ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=<?php echo $URL; ?>"> </head> <body> </body> </html> <?php endif; ?>

Hi Thomas,

I created the template "Redirect", but not sure I understand on what page to apply it on, or where to place the language URL. Would you mind providing the steps you took to make it work on your site?

Thank you,
Mike

Other than using the redirect template, is there any hack to hardcode a Home link that can be translated into the nav-menu files so we can still use the 3.0 menus?
