WordPress creating multiple links to Posts, including dead ones?

[ad_1]

Hi everyone,

I am struggling to trouble-shoot my wordpress webpage. Whenever I create a new blog post WordPress creates two URLs for each, one of which links to the actual page, the second one of which is a dead link which I then manually redirect to the correct link via a 301 redirect.

For the life of me I can’t figure out why this is happening or what is going on. I am using Polylang to make the page multi-lingual (english and german) and have it set-up to add an “/en/” or “/de/” right after the base URL to differentiate between the german and english version of the site.

Whenever I create a new post the new links are in the following format:

Working URL:

Additional dead URL:

WordPress seems to be taking the root of my url, and creating a second link for each post by adding this URL after the slug that designated the individual blog post.

Anyone have any ideas what could be going on here?

    Where are you seeing these “links”? WordPress doesn’t create links, it’s creates posts/pages.

    It sounds like a there’s an incorrect relative URL being used somewhere, so the link you’re seeing is being appended to the URL of the post that’s being created.
