Hello,
Is it now also safe to update to and activate WooCommerce HPOS?
Thank you.
Edwin
Hi Edwin,
You can use WPML and WooCommerce Multilingual 5.2.1 with the HPOS feature, you just need to enable the “Sync mode”. We’ll be releasing a new version of WooCommerce that provides full, native compatibility with this feature in the upcoming weeks.
Dear WPML team,
As an avid user of WPML, I am excited about the prospect of new features and improvements that a major release usually brings. The continuous development and enhancement of WPML plugin have greatly contributed to the seamless multilingual experience it offers to WordPress users.
Could you please provide some insights into the anticipated release date for the next major version? Additionally, if there are any notable features or enhancements that you can share a sneak peek of, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Steve
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your comment! We have quite some enhancements and updates planned. Next week, we’ll release WooCommerce Multilingual 5.3, which will bring full compatibility with the High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) feature, improvements to compatibility with Woo add-ons, and other fixes. We’ll also release WPML Export and Import in the next few weeks to make moving multilingual content in WordPress much easier and more intuitive.
In the coming weeks, you can also expect a minor WPML release which will introduce a new re-translate feature that works when you update the entries in your Glossary.
We’re planning a major release for early next year. It will significantly improve WPML’s translation workflow and make it easier for you to translate the different elements that make up your WordPress site.
Dear WPML-Team,
I sadly made the experience that WPML is not completely compatibel with the latest WordPress 6.4.1. I’ve some sites that use German as first language and English as the second. All of them showed the same error after updating to WP 6.4.1: Clicking on the WPML language switcher on the homepage does not take you to the second language but reloads the homepage in the first language. This does not happen on subpages – the language switcher works as expected there. I reverted all my sites back to WP 6.3.2 and the issue is gone.
I would be glad if you could look into this.
Best regards
Linus
