Issue Description

When viewing the documentation on docs.taipy.io, if a user tries to switch the documentation version using the version selector located in the bottom right of the page, the website redirects to the home page instead of reloading the current page with the selected version. This behavior occurs even if the page exists in the other version, causing unnecessary inconvenience.

Steps to Reproduce

Go to a specific page on docs.taipy.io (e.g., https://docs.taipy.io/en/release-3.0/manuals/).

  • Click on the version selector at the bottom right of the page.
  • Select a different version of the documentation (e.g., v3.1.0).

Expected Behavior

The website should update the URL with the new version number and reload the same documentation page for the selected version. If the page does not exist in the chosen version, then redirecting to the home page would be appropriate.

Current Behavior

The website redirects to the home page of the documentation, regardless of whether the page exists in the selected version. This requires users to navigate back to the specific page they were originally viewing, which disrupts the reading flow and can be frustrating.

We do rely on readthedocs to expose our documentation versions. The feasibility of the issue depends on this external tool.
