Hi !

Using WordPress 3.4, Atahualpa Theme 3.7.7 and qTranslate 2.5.29

I built my own bilingual menu (French and English) and when in English language, selecting any menu item resets the language to French. When in French, it works correctly and stays in French.

You can see it in action here:

A qTranslate FAQ seems to imply that it would be due to improper code in the template:

FAQ: Clicking on the Title/Home-Link resets selected language.
This is a template problem. Your template is using get_option('home') to get the link for the front page, which is BAD! get_option is not supposed to be used in templates. There is a function called bloginfo for templates. Use that instead and everything will work the way it is supposed to.

I'm using this HTML code:

<div class="menu_container"><p class="menuitems">

	<!--:fr--><a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/?lang=fr/">Accueil</a><!--:-->
	<!--:en--><a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/?lang=en/">Home</a><!--:-->

	<!--:fr--><a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/photos/?lang=fr/">Photos</a><!--:-->
	<!--:en--><a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/photos/?lang=en/">Photos</a><!--:-->

Can you help ?

Please go to ato->export/import settings export your settings and attach them to a reply

Thanks for helping me. Here is the requested file

This is another sad case of computers doing exactly what you told them to do, not what you want them to do. If you go to ato->Add HTML/CSS Inserts->HTML Inserts: Body Top I see you have MANUALLY created a menu in French, so Atahualpa is not doing anything about the menu, you have already constructed it.

p.s. I'd like to know why they think the get_option shouldn't be used. the codex states

Function Reference/get option
A safe way of getting values for a named option from the options database table. If the desired option does not exist, or no value is associated with it, FALSE will be returned.

and if you look, the FAQ entry is from 2008!

Hi Juggledad,

Thanks for your reply.

This is exactly what I write in my first post and I even give the HTML code for the menu I created. If you look at the code, you will see that it contains qTranslate language tags to make it bilingual.

This is the menu that doesn't work properly in English. When switching to a different menu item, the language reverts to French. Try it, the URL is in the first post.

Thanks for helping me.

what you have in teh css inserts is

<mycode>

	<div class="logo_container">
		<h1 class="logo"><a href="http://julesgobeil.com/site_web_3/"></a></h1>
	</div>
	<nav>
		<div class="menu_container"><p class="menuitems">
<a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/?lang=fr/">Accueil</a>
<a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/photos/?lang=fr/">Photos
<a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/articles/?lang=fr/">Articles</a>
<a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/bio/?lang=fr/">À propos</a>
<a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/services/?lang=fr/">Services</a>
<a class="menuitem" href="http://julesgobeil.com/photo/contact/?lang=fr/">Contact</a>
		</p></div>
	</nav>

</mycode>

I see NO 'lang=en' in that.

just where do you think you have the code you reference?
