        Dear @Djao-Rakitine
        we are not very familiar with that plugin.

        Can you post a link?

        Best!

                Having the same (or a similar) issue with Polylang and the home page. Would be great if @Djao-Rakitine or also @ArneRobot (http://laythemeforum.com:4567/topic/5186/multilanguage-problem-with-home-page-polylang?_=1601884029786) could post their solutions.

                I also reached out to Polylang directly and will post here if they can provide help.

                  Got this solved, thanks to Polylang's support:

                  1. Create a 'polylang' folder in wp-content (or use existing 'polylang' folder)
                  2. Upload the wpml-config.xml file (see below link) into the 'polylang' folder
                  3. In your Wordpress admin, go to to Languages > String translations and search for 'frontpage_select_page'
                  4. Replace the existing number in the ID field of the foreign language with the ID number '112' (see screenshot received from Polylang in below link )
                  5. Save the changes

                  And this should do it! It worked for me, with a site in English and Japanese. Note that we're using Project Thumbnails for our home page (not Thumbnail Grid or Element Grid), and had to manually add the Japanese thumbnails to the Japanese home page.

                  XML file and Polylang's screenshot are here: https://tinyurl.com/y42xtz8b

                  Hope this helps!

                            Dear @nypaloto, dear @Richard-Keith,

                            as the english site worked perfectly with the solution above, I wanted to start with the french and spanish versions of the site.

                            So I added another language in Polylang, added the page ID in the Polylang’s string section »frontpage_select_page« ...

                            Bildschirmfoto 2020-11-26 um 08.51.00.png

                            ... but on the front-page, when I click on »FR«, this link is still linked to the »EN« version of the site –> www.matteroffact.de

                            Does anyone has an idea, why this is not working? Thanks again for your help!

                              Unfortunately, I can't help with this. But the solution I posted came directly from Polylang's support, so I'd reach out to them. Good luck!

                                Without knowing exactly whats going on with your polylang, it is difficult to help fully :)

                                You could always force the link with jQuery added to "custom <head> content" within 'Lay Options - Custom CSS & HTML'

                                https://stackoverflow.com/questions/179713/how-to-change-the-href-for-a-hyperlink-using-jquery

                                Best wishes & Good Luck!

                                    @mariusjopen Would be handy to have this solution included in the Lay Documentation. I can confirm that it works.

                                    @nypaloto said in Lay Theme and Polylang_Front Page:

                                      Perhaps including other Lay options too, e.g. footer:

                                      <wpml-config>
                                      <admin-texts>
                                      <key name="theme_mods_lay">
                                      <key name="frontpage_select_page" />
                                      </key>
                                      <key name="lay_projects_footer" />
                                      <key name="lay_pages_footer" />
                                      <key name="lay_categories_footer" />
                                      </admin-texts>
                                      </wpml-config>

                                        This is a fair point and will add this 'documentation insert' idea to the development notes.

                                        Best wishes and thank you for the concise thread post that will undoubtably help others :)

                                          Thanks @nypaloto! I found the problem (did not renew permalinks and had to set a an actual page) and this solution worked for me as well.

                                            Hi! I'm having a problem with this as I cannot find the frontpage_select_page string in the Strings translations page. I uploaded the wpml-config.xml in my public_html/wp-content/plugins/polylang and it didn't do anything. I also tried to create a folder named polylang in public_html/wp-content/polylang and still nothing. Any idea how to make this work?

                                            Thanks a lot in advance!

                                            Before you post

                                            Use the Search Feature. Maybe there is already a solution to your issue.

                                            1. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
                                            2. Disable all Plugins
                                            3. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code ", click "Save Changes"
                                            4. Now see if your problem solved itself
                                            5. Go here, see if your problem is listed here:
                                            Troubleshooting

                                            When you post:
                                            1. Post a link to where the problem is
                                            2. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it

                                            Thanks!
