Сhange the language on a category page
-
Hello.
I have the following problem: when I change the language on a category page using the WPML plugin, it opens the wrong page. For example, if I’m on /phone-en/ and switch the language to /phone-fr/, everything works correctly. But if I’m on a subcategory like /phone-en/android-en/, it should logically open /phone-fr/android-fr/ when switching languages. However, it just redirects to /phone-fr/ instead.
It seems like the language switcher only works correctly on the main category level and not on subcategories.
Could you please help me solve this problem?
Thanks
Best Regards
Hello,
Could you please check how it works with some default WordPress themes like TwentyTwenty or WooCommerce Storefront to understand is it our theme issue or not?
Kind Regards
Hello,
I tried the TwentyTwenty theme, and everything worked as it should — when switching the language, it opened the same category that was previously open.
Thanks

Hello
It used to work for me sometimes too — it’s probably an exception. I just tried it again, and it’s not working for me. I cleared the cache, but it still doesn’t work. I added a link with a large number of subcategories. Please open it and try switching between languages and categories.
Thanks
Best Regards
Okay, I see. It happens on my side only once when I first visit the category. May I check how it works on the default theme?
Kind Regards
Yes, of course.
I tried to reproduce the bug on the TwentyTwenty theme, but I couldn’t.
Hello,
You use the AJAX Shop functionality, in this case, when the subcategory page is loaded via AJAX and you change the language it will redirect you to all categories. If you do not want such behaviur, you can disable the AJAX Shop via Theme Settings -> Product archive – https://prnt.sc/5fZCSJvyaTWP

Hello.
But this is not the correct functionality — how can I disable AJAX for categories but keep it enabled for everything else?
Thanks
Best Regards
Hello,
Unfortunately, there is no way to disable it for the specific categories as it applies to the shop globally.
If you have any additional questions, let me know.
Kind Regards
