href lang

[nickdring]

Hi there, we have the latest version of the plugin running on our Joomla sites with varnish. We developed our own plugin that makes sure that varnish keeps emptying the cache when changes are made to the site and all is good.
But I noticed on two sites that are multilingual with your plugin active the HTML lang is always set to en-gb.
If I disable the plugin they go back to the right language.
Do we need to change the plugin settings or is it something else?
Here is a link to the settings: https://ibb.co/GnRpPQS
Cheers!

One guess is that if you have client side caching enabled (in your screenshot it's off though), then Varnish probably picks up the cache-control header sent by the plugin and caches content regardless of language. And if English is the main language, then it's normal for it to cache the en-gb variant.

In any case, I can only know for sure if you enable the plugin and send me a URL to test both your HTTP headers and the actual HTML.

hi, we don't use client side caching the settings are as you see them

ok plugin enabled here: https://memexproject.eu/ if you go to s language that's not EN and look at the source you'll see it

I don't think it's the plugin to blame. I triple checked any replacements and regex's.

My guess is that it merely surfaces an issue coming from another plugin.

I recommend re-ordering your system type plugins like so:
a) Make sure URL Normalizer is the last
b) If you have the Page Cache system plugin enabled, make that the last one and move URL Normalizer right above it.

For the record, something's not right with your site for sure... Check this meta tag in your content:

<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8; X-Content-Type-Options=nosniff" http-equiv="Content-Type" />

Something put X-Content-Type-Options there and this something could be the culprit.

HI, I removed the meta script from the template and set the normalizer plugin to last in the order. Page Cache plugin is not activated. I still see the wrong lang flag whenever the URL normalizer is activated, as soon as I deactivate it the flag is correct.

I'm sorry but I can't help you further. All I know is that the code does not directly affect the <html...> tag in any way, let alone choose to "keep" the en-gb property over the other ones.

Like I said, my guess is that it merely surfaces an issue coming from another plugin.
