Category links in menu with regional filter increase Google soft 404

Hi Stiofan,

Thanks, it works like a charm. Here’s the code if someone wants to do the same thing:

/**************************************************************************
* Remove the geodir_get_term_link Filter for building the Kleo menu
* (this removes the location part of the link in all categories in the menu)
**************************************************************************/
// Removing the filter also removes WPML slug translation. We need to create a new filter only for this.
// Content of this function is inspired by geodir_term_link() in taxonomy_functions.php, line 1695
// (Note this function and it's usage can be removed if not using WPML)
function custom_geodir_translate_term_link($termlink, $term, $taxonomy) {
    $geodir_taxonomies = geodir_get_taxonomies('', true);
    if (isset($taxonomy) && !empty($geodir_taxonomies) && in_array($taxonomy, $geodir_taxonomies)) {
        // Alter the CPT slug if WPML is set to do so
        if (function_exists('icl_object_id')) {
            $post_types = get_option('geodir_post_types');
            $post_type = str_replace("category","",$taxonomy);
            $post_type = str_replace("_tags","",$post_type);
            $slug = $post_types[$post_type]['rewrite']['slug'];
            if (gd_wpml_slug_translation_turned_on($post_type)) {
                global $sitepress;
                $default_lang = $sitepress->get_default_language();
                $language_code = gd_wpml_get_lang_from_url($termlink);
                if (!$language_code ) {
                    $language_code  = $default_lang;
                }
                $org_slug = $slug;
                $slug = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $slug, 'WordPress', 'URL slug: ' . $slug, $language_code);

                if (!$slug) {
                    $slug = $org_slug;
                }
                $termlink = trailingslashit(preg_replace("/" . preg_quote($org_slug, "/") . "/", $slug  ,$termlink, 1));
            }
        }
    }
    return $termlink;
} 
// Remove the geodir_get_term_link and add the custom filter before menu is built (after body tag)
function remove_gd_term_link_filter() {
    remove_filter('term_link', 'geodir_get_term_link', 10);
    add_filter('term_link', 'custom_geodir_translate_term_link',10, 3); //delete this if not using WPML
}
add_action('kleo_after_body', 'remove_gd_term_link_filter');
// Remove the custom filter and add back the geodir_get_term_link filter before the main content
function add_gd_term_link_filter() {
    remove_filter('term_link', 'custom_geodir_translate_term_link', 10); //delete this if not using WPML
    add_filter('term_link', 'geodir_get_term_link', 10, 3);
}
add_action('kleo_before_main', 'add_gd_term_link_filter');

Cheers,
Marc
