  I want to custom website path such as

  • xxx.com/pt -> Home Page in Portugal Language
  • xxx.com/en -> Home Page in English Language
  • xxx.com/cn/privacy -> Privacy Page in Chinese Language
  • xxx.com/cn/blog/article_1 -> Article One in Chinense Language

  So, I want to know that can business plan do this ? or Can it edit .htaccess file ?

  Thank you

  If your site is xxx.com you can set up pages as you wish /pt, /en, are top level pages while /cn/privacy and /cn/blog/ are second level pages to /cn

  This earlier forum staff reply https://wordpress.com/forums/topic/htaccess-5/#post-3618711 suggests that htaccess is not in use here on WordPress.com, but regardless, I’ve added the “modlook” tag for Staff confirmation of that. My educated guess is that if you need redirects, you’ll need to use a redirect plugin.

  Hope that helps.

  Hi! It’s indeed the case that htaccess isn’t availble on WordPress.com as we use NGINX servers instead – there’s more information about that here:
  https://wordpress.com/support/php-environment/

  In general it sounds like you’d be looking for possibly a multilingual/language switcher plugin which lets visitors change between the content you write in different languages. This is something that can be installed if your site uses the Business plan; here are some example plugins for this:
  https://wordpress.com/plugins?s=multilingual

  Typically these types of plugins let you create your content in different languages, and provide a “language” menu so that visitors can change between the languages. I believe these plugins usually offer an option to provide the different homepages with the addresses as you’ve mentioned above. Does this sound like something that can be useful for you?

  Feel free to ask us further questions!
