First of all this is a great plug-in. Thx.
I've seen a lot of posts in this forum about the "home page" which reverts back in the original language.
I have this problem with my site.
I noted that it is the "static page" chosen in the "Reading settings" of WP which always reverts back to the original language chosen in the "General settings" of qTranslate.
Any idea what I can do so that the home page stays in the language chosen ?
If I have to change some code can you tell me which file to change. I am a newbie in WP and know no CSS ( I use Artisteer 2).
Thx.

Actually, this is my problem, too, and I am looking for a solution.

In practical terms, if you use your Wordpress site as a commercial site, this situation is quita annoying. The English visitor navigates the site, and when he / she decides to go back to the home page the italian version (in my case) is shown.

I think this aspect concerns many of us, doesn't it?

Check this website.
The problems lies in the call of the URL from the WP theme. Change in the editor the header of your theme get_option('home') into bloginfo('url').

And what if we don't have the get_option('home') in our header file?? Can it be in functions.php??

Could you post the code-snippet from your header.php:
need from .... to this:
<ul id="example_navigation"> ... </ul>

Here's my header code. As you'll see, I've added my modifications. The theme was made with Artisteer.

Tien un Ontarien!

I guess this is in relation with your wp_list_pages or wp_list_categories. Usually they have a home page link before that code. Check into that.
If not call in your home link with

Code: Select all: <a href="<?php bloginfo('url') ?>/" tiitle="home"/>home</a>

Note that home isn't "multi-linguizised". (new word here)
just place it in the header and test it out.

by **flip flop** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 12:02 pm

hi,

i think - your code for the navigation is in this plugin? or theme?-snippet:

<ul class="art-menu">
<?php art_menu_items(); ?>
</ul>

look for this code "art_menu_items" in your theme or plugin files and post it here

by **theresel** » Tue Mar 02, 2010 12:42 pm

The code for the "art-menu-items" is in my functions.php file for the theme. I found two instances of the get_option('home') in that file, the first one is in this function (in bold):

function art_list_pages_filter($output)
{
global $artThemeSettings;
$pref ='page-item-';
if($artThemeSettings['menu.topItemIDs'])
foreach($artThemeSettings['menu.topItemIDs'] as $id){
$output = preg_replace('~<li class="([^"]*)\b(' . $pref . $id . ')\b([^"]*)"><a ([^>]+)>([^<]*)</a>~',
'<li class="$1$2$3"><a $4>' . $artThemeSettings['menu.topItemBegin']
. '$5' . $artThemeSettings['menu.topItemEnd'] . '</a>', $output, 1);
}

$frontID = null;
$blogID = null;
if('page' == get_option('show_on_front')) {
$frontID = get_option('page_on_front');
$blogID = $artThemeSettings['menu.blogID'];
}
if ($frontID)
$output = preg_replace('~<li class="([^"]*)\b(' . $pref . $frontID . ')\b([^"]*)"><a href="([^"]*)" ~',
'<li class="$1$2$3"><a href="'. get_option('home') .'" ', $output, 1);

if ((is_home() && $blogID) || $artThemeSettings['menu.activeID'])
$output = preg_replace('~<li class="([^"]*)\b(' . $pref . (is_home() ? $blogID : $artThemeSettings['menu.activeID']) . ')\b([^"]*)"><a ~',
'<li class="$1$2$3"><a class="active" ', $output, 1);
return $output;
}

===============================================
AND the second one is in this function (in bold):
===============================================

function art_menu_items()
{
global $artThemeSettings;
if (true === $artThemeSettings['menu.showHome'] && 'page' != get_option('show_on_front'))
echo '<li><a' . (is_home() ? ' class="active"' : '') . ' href="' . get_option('home') . '">'.$artThemeSettings['menu.topItemBegin']
. $artThemeSettings['menu.homeCaption'] . $artThemeSettings['menu.topItemEnd'] . '</a></li>';
add_action('get_pages', 'art_header_page_list_filter');
add_action('wp_list_pages', 'art_list_pages_filter');
wp_list_pages('title_li=&sort_column=menu_order');
remove_action('wp_list_pages', 'art_list_pages_filter');
remove_action('get_pages', 'art_header_page_list_filter');
}

=====================================================

I tried changing both to bloginfo('url') - but when I change the first one, the link for the home page is printed on top of my art-menu and the menu is shifted down on the page. When I change only the second one, nothing happens....

I hope someone can help me.

Hi blackbookdesign, oui un ontarien

I tried your suggestion and inserted the link in my footer to test. It seems to be working for both languages, but if I do that I would have to hard code the Home link into my menu and drop it from the main menu, and I don't know how to do that.
