Problem:
If you're experiencing intermittent 404 errors on the 'Accommodation' custom post type pages after translating your site using WPML with the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin, the issue might be due to the way the plugin handles URL slugs.
Solution:
We have identified that the problem originates from the MotoPress Hotel Booking plugin, not WPML. In the plugin's code, specifically in the file

/wp-content/plugins/motopress-hotel-booking/includes/post-types/room-type-cpt.php

, the slug for the custom post type is set to be translatable, which can conflict with WPML's slug translation logic. Here's the problematic code snippet:

'slug' => _x('accommodation', 'slug', 'motopress-hotel-booking'),

This makes the slug 'accommodation' translatable, and it gets translated to 'rooms' in MotoPress's language files, causing conflicts. To resolve this, the slug should not be translatable in the plugin's code. You can suggest this change to the MotoPress support team:

'rewrite' => array('slug' => ('accommodation'), 'with_front' => false, 'feeds' => true),

This adjustment will prevent the slug from being translated and should resolve the 404 errors.

Please note that this solution might become outdated or may not apply to your specific case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
