Reseñas

Looks like a good plugin, Ive been using now for some time, but it does not work, or at the least the free version does not, and can you get a reply on the support forum, not yet you cant. Ive posted multiple times and as yet after 10 days nothing, others that have posted have not had replies to their posts which date back over a year or more. At the moment I’m not deleting it, as i’m hoping to sort the problem out. The problem the translated front page does not show up, always shows the original language home page, all other translated pages work. I’m not the only onewho has the problem from the postings online, but no-one has posted a fix. I’ve implemented the plugin as per the documentation and have tried varios work arounds, without joy. I was in the middle of trying other work arounds when a pop up came up on my WP dashboard asking me to review with 5 stars this plugin, so I thought OK, youve asked for a review, you’ll get an honest one. If I could get this one issue resolved then I would say it does its job and does it well and give it 5 stars but without the homepage translating appearing, one can only say it does not work. If any one at Polylang is reading this then please help me out, I would love to give you a positive review.
