[Resolved] The "Post" category was not translated

Problem:

The client reported that the 'Post' category in some widgets was not translating correctly.

Solution:

After testing, we found a workaround that involves modifying the code in the Elementor plugin. Here are the steps we recommend you follow after making a full site backup:

1. Navigate to the

   wp-content/plugins/ultimate-elementor/modules/posts/template-blocks/

   folder.

2. Open the

   skin-style.php

   file for editing.

3. Scroll to line 1088 and replace the existing code with the following:

   
   From

   $filter_type = $settings[ $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter_rule' ];
    
   $filters = $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ];
   

   To

   $filter_type = $settings[ $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter_rule' ];
    
   // WPML Workaround for compsupp-7728
   if (class_exists('Sitepress')) {
       $original_terms = $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by  . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ];
       $translated_terms = [];
    
       foreach ($original_terms as $term_slug) {
           $term_obj = get_term_by('slug', $term_slug, $filter_by );
            
           if ($term_obj) {
               $translated_term_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $term_obj->term_id, $filter_by , true);
               $translated_term = get_term($translated_term_id, $filter_by );
               if ($translated_term && !is_wp_error($translated_term)) {
                   $translated_terms[] = $translated_term->slug;
               }
           }
       }
    
       $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by  . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ] = $translated_terms;           
   }
    
   $filters = $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ];
   

Additionally, the plugin author has included a fix in the upcoming version of Ultimate Addons for Elementor, which we have already implemented in our sandbox site for testing.
