Translated blog posts

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The client is facing an issue where the newest blog post does not appear in the Post Grid, Post Timeline, and Post Carousel on the French and English versions of the homepage and blog page.
Solution:
We recommended the client to check if the post is still in drafts on the translated pages. If it is, they should publish it to ensure it appears in the translated versions. This can be done by editing the pages at the provided staging links and publishing the posts. Additionally, if the 'Publish the translated post when the original is also published' option is enabled, and posts are not publishing as expected, it might be due to third-party plugins or server delays.

If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

gertV-13	Background of the issue: I am trying to display translated blog posts on my website hidden link. We have 3 blog posts, all translated. The first two appear in the Post Grid, Post Timeline, and Post Carousel (Spectra), but the newest one does not show up on the French and English versions on the homepage and blog page. Symptoms: The newest blog post does not appear in the Post Grid, Post Timeline, and Post Carousel on the French and English versions of the homepage and blog page. Questions: Why doesn't the newest blog post appear in the Post Grid, Post Timeline, and Post Carousel on the French and English versions? What steps can I take to ensure the newest blog post is displayed correctly?

gertV-13	Hi, While you are here. I have another issue. On the Woocommerce shop page you can see 2 menu's in the sidebar: Categorieën and Merken, this is dutch for Categories and Brands. I used IKS Menu to build these and I have marked the custom type as translatable. I also translated both words with the Translation Manager. The translation however doesn't come through in both French and Dutch

gertV-13	Thanks Kor. Sorry but the option ' Publish the translated post when original is also published (default)' is enabled'. How can I avoid this in the future? As you might have seen, we have plenty of posts in draft, they are scheduled to be published. Also, the article in question was fully translated prior to publishing (manually) Any news on the titles on the product filters? I've solved it on the production site by hiding the titles and adding normal headings instead. Also the 'Search Products...' placeholder on the search bar keeps popping up in english. New threads created by Kor and linked to this one are listed below: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/titles-on-the-product-filters-not-translated/

Kor Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Singapore (GMT+08:00)	Thank you for your response. Typically, when the "Publish the translated post when the original is also published" option is enabled, the posts should be published when the primary language post goes live. It’s likely that a third-party plugin or server delays are preventing this from happening. Regarding your new question, I’ve separated the issue into a new ticket here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/titles-on-the-product-filters-not-translated/ , as our support policy allows us to address only one issue per ticket. This approach helps support staff focus on a single issue at a time and makes it easier for other users to find solutions to their questions more quickly.
