Reviews

Keeps forcing wrong language. broke site.

30 mai 2023
This plugin sounds nice. But for some kind of reason it kept forcing the wrong language as my page-languages. My content is written in English, but according to the plugin, all pages are Dutch and had to be re-translated, which caused my whole site to break and show empty pages with a different menubar than I had setup.
