Description
Qtranslate Slug is an addon to QTranslate-X that adds support for permalinks translations. Qtranslate-X is a must have plugin for Multilingual Websites.
1.1.17 fixes a dangerous Security Exploit. Please update right now!
Go ahead and update right 1.1.18 for the new cool fixes!
Requirements:
- PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5
- WordPress 4.0
- qtranslate-x 3.0
New in 1.1.18 =
- works with upcomming wp 4.5! thats new for a change!
- widget is now compatible with wp 4.3. thanks to @adnanoner ( #111) and @gitmad (#112)
- saving taxonomies wont print warning. thanks to @jmarceli ( #113)
- saving post quick edit wont print warnings. thanks again to jmarceli ( #114 )
- Code from wp.org is now been merged with the github account
- Some notices are fixed. Thanks to @rafa-aguilar ( #89 )
- custom post types are fixed! thanks to @MicheleBertoli ( #102 )
- slug box now shows the utf8 chars instead of the enconded ones.
- you can now toggle the default slug box, in case you want to edit it.
- edit term has been re-worked, so no more errors and notices! ( hopefully!)
- couple of other stuff has been fixed by me thanks to your awesome bug reports!
- some cosmetic code changes
and now, what isn't working:
In QTS slug options you can change the bases for taxonomies and custom post types.
So, for example, you can change /category/ for /category/ for english and /categoria/ for spanish version.
But these won't work:
-
slug with UTF8 charactes in taxonomies bases: example: /類別/.. instead of /category/..
utf8 in taxonomies works just fine: /category_zh/魚/
-
slug with UTF8 charactes in custom post type bases : example: /圖書/.. instead of /books/..
utf8 in custom post slugs works just fine: /tushu/彩繪中國經典名著/
-
translating custom post types archives with custom base name /tushu/ isnt working. but using utf8 in the the default slug, as expected : /中國/
Thanks for using, enjoy 1.1.18.
If anything breaks, let me know!
New in 1.1.17

New in 1.1.16
Minor fix for the language menu using qtranslate's function
New in 1.1.15
- Fixes the duplicated hreflang links in
<head>
New in 1.1.14
The menu widget didn't allow the visitors to change to the default language if qtranslate-x was being used. So, adjusted the Language Menu widget to play nice with qtranslate-x.
Hope to bring some nice changes that were made in the github repository in the next version. For now, enjoy.
New in 1.1.13
Thanks to returning @pedro-mendonca for these commits:
- Cleaned duplicated label in widget
- Bug fix in "Slug (%s)" string translation
- Changed text strings with no text-domain and with text-domain 'qtranlate' to text-domain 'qts'
- pot catalog updated with current strings, including last found is "More information about".
Thanks to @johnclause for these:
- Convenience links in notice_dependences
- Menu compatibility with qTranslate-X
- Fixed extra characters in widget
Thanks to vbkun for casting the much wanted function to get a slug based on an id and language
- Added a global qts_get_slug( $id, $lang)
and sadly:
- removed the menu admin box until better implementation
See you next Version!
Advice: If you're using a multisite installation, you will must activate qtranslate plugins by separately on each site.

directory.

- That's all!
Testing
- Install wp-cli
- Follow this instrucctions ommiting 2nd step: Plugin Unit Tests.
Changing base permastructs
- In admin: navigate to Settings/Slug options.

Frequently Asked Questions
It works with posts and pages, but with other content type?
This plugin allows to translate slugs of: posts, pages, custom post types, categories, tags and custom taxonomies.
Do I have to configure anything?
If you want to translate also the base permastructs (ex. category, tag, etc). Visit the plugin settings page in the admin Settings/Slug options
How can i insert a language selector in my theme ?
You can choose to:
- use Qtranslate Slug Widget in your sidebar.
- place in your template
<?php if (function_exists('qts_language_menu') ) qts_language_menu('text'); ?>
. Options are: dropdown
, text
, image
, and both
.
Appears an error 404, what can i do?
In the admin go to Settings/Permalinks or Settings/Slug options and save.
I can't manage translations in Nav Menus.
That's because language selector metabox is hidden, if you are in admin nav menus screen, press the button Screen options (on top and right) and after, check the option Languages. It will appear a Language meta box on top of the left sidebar.
How to get the current url in a specific language?
You can use qts_get_url()
or the awkwardly named qTranslateSlug_getSelfUrl()
which is an alias for the first one.

1.0
- works with any permalink combination and qtranslate mode.
- new branch, the plugin has been rewritten: now the code is commented and wrapped inside a class, much code has change and the performance has been increased (use caches).
- data system changed, no ID for slug type, then it don't needs install
qtrasnlate_slug
table. That means slugs now are stored on meta tables and installation creates a termmeta table with some new core functions to access/save data, based on simple term meta. Upgrade process when the plugin updates from older versions.
- the plugin generates translated slug automatically from title in empty cases.
- the plugin checks if the slug already exists (per each language and
post_type
/taxonomy
), and adds a progressive number in this case. Works on ajax requests for example when new taxonomies are created in edit post page.
- possibility to translate the base of permastructs for post_types and taxonomies, uses $wp_rewrite. New admin options page for save the base permastructs.
- added some filters, see in other notes.
- added plugin language textdomain (.pot file).
- updated Language selector Widget, and some new conventions like accessible functions for templating.
