POLYLANG / thumbnail grid displayed in both languages at once

[HorstoftheFuture]

Hey Armin, unfortunately not. I have the same problem here.

Polylang asks to „connect“ posts or categories that are the same. That means that I have a post in DE (with a DE URL) and can directly switch to the EN (with a EN URL) im the backend.

Same goes for the categories - englisch Posts get English categories („drawings“), German posts have German categories („Zeichnungen“), and DE and EN are connected in the backend.

However, the thumbnail grid mixes this up and displays both English and German posts - maybe bc the categories are connected??

Hey!

Look at this video. It is currently uploading so it can take a few minutes:

Did you do the same thing?
Am I missing something?
I think it works right and is supposed to be like that.

Hello, I finally found the solution!
This error only occurs occasionally, and this is when the name of a DE post is similar to the EN post. When the URL is created automatically, this can lead to confusion, so you need to make sure that the URLs are different (and not, as the automation sometimes suggests, with a /-2 in the end).
For me this worked with at least 3 test posts, so good luck everyone!

Update: Problem NOT solved, this only helped temporarily. It all came back yesterday :(

@arminunruh thank you, everything was built exactly like in your video. try adding more posts and you will probably see what we mean ...

[HorstoftheFuture]

Actually, it seems to be about the post names, not the URLs. If a DE post name is identical to its EN name, it will be displayed twice.

So

does it work if you dont have duplicate post names?
Or does it not work?

[HorstoftheFuture]

No, it does not work. The issue itself i pretty unpredictable. Sometimes I can manage to put it back to normal by resetting every post’s category and saving it again, but that only lasts a few days and the page will return to chaos after I enter a new post.
