Wrong URL on category search result

[ivansParticipant]

When searching a city name in ajax search pro (You will find it in homepage) Some city CATEGORIES has a wrong URL
For example, searching “quito” in an english language (choosing international or any other) you get a url with /es/
This only happen with certaing categories. Perhaps with categories that have the same name in different languages. Also with “tallin”

Hi!

The categories are parsed by ID, and they have a different ID in different languages, as far as I know. Are those certain categories working correctly (correct url) on other pages? Can you tell me a few which is the correct url for the “quito” category?

For international, the correct url is http://woktowalk.com/locations/quito/
but if you search Quito goes to http://woktowalk.com/es/locations/quito-es/

Ok, I will try to check the back-end for more information. Could you please correct the admin details you provided? It does not let me log in with that.

If you could also provide temporary FTP details, it would help a lot debugging the problem if it’s related to the plugin.

I’ve uptated wordpress admin and FTP details. Please note URL for wordpress admin is not the standard one. Has been changed for security reasons.
Thanks for your help.

Hi!

Thanks for the details. It took me a while to find the problem, and I’m afraid I can’t fix it because it does not seem to be related to the search.

I will try to explain in as much details as I can:
There is a database error regarding the faulty terms. It’s not visible on the back-end, only with a closer inspection. Let me try to explain with the term “Quito”. There is an english version with an ID of 1511, which should be the one that’s returned within the results. However the term with ID 1513 is returned, which should be the spanish version, but it’s not. I queried the database and the 1513 is marked with the language code “en”, which is english. More interestingly, the original english (id 1511) does not have a language code. To further prove the problem, if you for example go to the editor to edit the spanish translation of the “Quito” tag (id 1513), and the source terms is the same as the translation! So term 1513 is english, displayed as spanish, and it is it’s own translation because of this error.

I’m not sure what to do here. Perhaps deleting the Quito and all the fauty tags and re-creating.
Or maybe ask the WPML support first, to make sure I’m not mistaking anything, they surely know better than me.

You’re totally right. There’s a problem when creating taxonomies. I will contact WPML support.
Thanks for your help.
