Hi,

on this site https://www.xxxx.com/ which is only in Italian for now, there is the first link of the menu (L'Hotel) which is set as the homepage in Italian in the menu. In the Language Filter plugin I set the "remove the prefix of the default language" (Italian) to yes, so consequently the homepage url should not be https://www.xxxx.com/it/ as is the link of the menu "L'Hotel" but only https://www.xxxx.com/. This is a problem because when I generate the sitemap it reports me https://www.xxxx.com/it/ which makes a 301 redirect to https://www.xxxx.com/ and in the sitemap there shouldn't be redirects 301.

How can I solve? It seems that sh404sef ignores the Language Filter plugin for Joomla! .

Hi

This is a problem because when I generate the sitemap it reports me https://www.xxxx.com/it/ which makes a 301 redirect to https://www.xxxx.com/ and in the sitemap there shouldn't be redirects 301.

This is required for sh404SEF to overcome the language filter behavior when switching back from another language to Italian. Without it, Joomla would just stay on the same language when trying to switch xx back to Italian.

Note that even without sh404SEF, you would have the same problem in the language switcher: the language switcher also requires you to have /it/ on the default language to be able to switch back and so it's kind of unavoidable.

How can I solve? It seems that sh404sef ignores the Language Filter plugin for Joomla! .

Of course we don't, we spent a great deal of time trying to workaround some of the behaviors of the Language Filter plugin, which has always made our life a bit more difficult! 

One thing you can do is to change your menu item type, use a URL type and hardcode the home link without /it/. Then you can check if the sitemap still pick up the /it/ link from the language switcher. Of course, you'll only see that when you enable the language switcher with more languages.

Best regards
