I have the same problem that was discussed here using qtranslate with coherence.

http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/qtranslate-home-link-resets-selected-language-how-to-modify-code

see towards the bottom of that post,
Dude posted - "The logo code can be found in abundance\framework\php\function-set-avia-frontend.php:"
```
<br />
function avia_logo()<br />
	{<br />
		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))<br />
		{<br />
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";<br />
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo'><a>".$logo."</a></h1>";<br />
		}<br />
		else<br />
		{<br />
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');<br />
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a>".$logo."</a></h1>";<br />
		}</p>
<p>		return $logo;<br />
	}</p>
<p>
```
I found the code in that location and modified it as Chris suggested,
Replacing-
<a href='".home_url('/')."'>
with
<a href='".bloginfo('url')."'>
the result was for it to work but above the logo it now shows a the text of the link at the same time displaying what the home image links to?
is there a way to stop it from showing this?

Then i tried the next solution on replacing the code with.
```
</p>
<p>function avia_logo()<br />
	{<br />
		$lang = isset($_GET['lang']) ? '?lang='.esc_attr($_GET['lang']) : '';</p>
<p>		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))<br />
		{<br />
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";<br />
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".home_url($lang)."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";<br />
		}<br />
		else<br />
		{<br />
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');<br />
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".home_url($lang)."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";<br />
		}</p>
<p>		return $logo;<br />
	}<br />
}</p>
<p>
```
Changing to this code didn't work but it also didn't cause any errors.
Is there something I am missing, is there something different in the avia framework on the coherence theme compared to the abundance theme?
Why does it show a text version of the link as well as the logo image?
is there some quick fix for this I am not spotting?
Unfortunately the site is currently live, so I have reverted back to the original code for now but my client really wants this fixed.

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!

Yes - instead of:
```
<a href='".bloginfo('url')."'>
```
use following code:
```
<a href='".get_bloginfo('url')."'>
```

Thanks Peter, I have tried changing the code so it looks like this:

function avia_logo($use_image = "")
	{
		$use_image = apply_filters('avia_logo_filter', $use_image);

		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))
		{
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url')."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}
		else
		{
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');
			if($use_image) $logo = "<img src=".$use_image." alt='' title='$logo'/>";
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url')."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}

		return $logo;
	}
}

the link still goes back default, then I tried this:

function avia_logo($use_image = "")
	{
		$lang = isset($_GET['lang']) ? '?lang='.esc_attr($_GET['lang']) : '';

		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))
		{
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url')."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}
		else
		{
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url')."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}

		return $logo;
	}
}

in both cases the logo looked correct but when having a different language selected it still resets back to the original. can you spot anything I have done wrong?
Thanks

No, the code seems to be correct. I'd check the link tarket of the logo though. If get_bloginfo('url') returns the same url on both websites it's probably a plugin issue (bug) and I'd contact the plugin author. You can also try to add the $lang variable to the url like:
```
$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url').$lang."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
```
but I'm not familiar with the plugin and it's just a "blind guess".

Ok thanks Peter,
For the benefit of others with a similar problem this is where I have got to-
From what I can tell the issue now lies with permalinks.
In qtranslate settings>advanced you have these options-
Use Query Mode (?lang=en)
Use Pre-Path Mode (Default, puts /en/ in front of URL)
Use Pre-Domain Mode (uses http ://en.yoursite .com)

if I set it to Use Query Mode then the home link now works, which is ok, once I switch it back to Use Pre-Path Mode I can't get it to work.
I tried resetting the standard wordpress permalinks from settings>permalinks but I still have not got it working using Pre-Path Mode.

This is the code I am now using:
```
function avia_logo($use_image = "")
	{
		$lang = isset($_GET['lang']) ? '?lang='.esc_attr($_GET['lang']) : '';

		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))
		{
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url').$lang."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}
		else
		{
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".get_bloginfo('url').$lang."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}

		return $logo;
	}
}
```
I will see if I can find a solution from the qtranslate forum, if I find a solution I will post it here.
If anyone has any further advice or suggestions they can add to this it would be much appreciated! I am pulling my hair out here..
Thanks

I have looked around for a week now and still haven't found anything I can get to work.

I found an interesting resource for qtranslate - http://shailan.com/3283/displaying-content-based-on-current-language-using-qtranslate/

They suggest this method for converting URLs in the header.php file, -

<a href="<?php qtrans_convertURL( bloginfo('url') ); ?>">My Awesome Blog Homepage</a>

I thought it could be applied like this $logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='"qtrans_convertURL( bloginfo('url') );"'>".$logo."</a></h1>";

but my php knowledge is rubbish so i'm just guessing the syntax! Can you spot an error in this?

Thanks!

Hi!

You can try following code instead - the syntax is right however I don't know it it works...
```
$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='". qtrans_convertURL( bloginfo('url') ) . "'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
```
Best regards,
Peter

Ok I finally have it solved and have Tested it in both Eunoia and Coherence themes :)

So for the benafit of others here is how to do it, The file is located here -

/wp-content/themes/eunoia/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php
or here for coherence obviously -
/wp-content/themes/coherence/framework/php/function-set-avia-frontend.php

Replace-
```
<a href='".home_url('/')."'>
```
with this -
```
<a href='".qtrans_convertURL (get_bloginfo('url'))."'>
```
So the code for that section once modified should look like this -
```
function avia_logo()
	{
		if($logo = avia_get_option('logo'))
		{
			 $logo = "<img src=".$logo." alt='' />";
			 $logo = "<h1 class='logo'><a href='".qtrans_convertURL (get_bloginfo('url'))."'>".$logo."</a></h1>";
		}
		else
		{
			$logo = get_bloginfo('name');
			$logo = "<h1 class='logo bg-logo'><a href='".qtrans_convertURL (get_bloginfo('url'))."</a></h1>";
		}

		return $logo;
	}
}
```
I hope this saves someone some time.

Thanks for your help Peter couldn't have done it without you.
