Problem: You are using BetterDocs with WPML to translate articles and replace images in the translated versions. However, when you update the original article and its translation, the images in the translated article revert to those from the original article. This issue arises because you are mixing different editors during the translation and update process. Solution: To prevent images in the translated articles from being overwritten, we recommend the following steps: 1. Consistently use the same editor for both the original and translated content to avoid conflicts. You can find more information on using different translation editors here: Using Different Translation Editors for Different Pages. 2. Use the WPML Media Translation module to manage how images are handled across different languages. This approach ensures that images remain consistent with their respective language versions. Learn more about this method here: How to Display Different Media per Language. Please avoid using different editors for the original and translated content as this can lead to the issues you're experiencing.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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.
Problem: If you're experiencing issues with the article order in BetterDocs not persisting when WPML is active, and articles losing their translated category assignments or linking to categories from both the original and translated languages, this might be due to a compatibility issue between WPML and BetterDocs. Solution: We recommend trying the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Ensure you have a backup of your site. 2. Open the file
5. Add the following helper function at the end of the class around line 1130, before the final '}':
/**<br /> * WPML Integration: Sync post taxonomies across translations<br /> * @param array $post_ids Array of post IDs to sync<br /> */<br />private function wpml_sync_posts_taxonomies($post_ids) {<br /> global $sitepress;<br /> if (!$sitepress || empty($post_ids)) return;<br /><br /> $sync = new \WPML_Term_Translation_Utils($sitepress);<br /><br /> foreach ($post_ids as $post_id) {<br /> $trid = $sitepress->get_element_trid($post_id, 'post_docs');<br /> if (!$trid) continue;<br /><br /> $translations = $sitepress->get_element_translations($trid, 'post_docs');<br /> $original_id = $post_id;<br /><br /> foreach ($translations as $translation) {<br /> if (isset($translation->original) && $translation->original == 1) {<br /> $original_id = $translation->element_id;<br /> break;<br /> }<br /> }<br /><br /> foreach ($sitepress->get_active_languages() as $lang => $details) {<br /> $sync->sync_terms($original_id, $lang);<br /> }<br /> }<br />}
