Custom Work

Problem:
You are trying to prevent WPML from auto-translating specific links on translated pages, aiming to use English links on German pages. Despite following the provided documentation, the links still auto-translate to the targeted page translation instead of pointing to the original English page.
Solution:
In WPML -> Settings, you can adjust the page slug setting from "Auto generate from the title" to "Copy." This setting is mainly for languages with encoded URLs. Alternatively, you can use the "Translate" setting within the translation editor to manually set the slug, allowing you to point links to the original language page as needed. For further customizations beyond these settings, additional development might be necessary, which is outside our support scope.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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:
The client is redesigning a website and wants the English menu to display in its entirety for all languages without manually creating the menu in each language. This is to avoid updating 10+ menus every time a page is added to the English menu.
Solution:
Currently, WPML does not support automatic duplication of menus across different languages. The client has two options:
1. Manually duplicate the menus by going to Appearance > Menus, clicking on the "+" sign to add menus in secondary languages, and inserting the English links and labels.
2. Implement a custom code solution. The client can try editing the provided code to fit their context or consult with professional contractors for assistance. The code provided earlier should be added to the functions.php file, ensuring a backup is made first due to potential risks:

$locations_to_omit = ['header']; //Append menu locations here. e.g. ['primary', 'footer']<br />add_filter('wp_nav_menu_args', function ($args) use ($locations_to_omit) {<br />    if (isset($args['theme_location']) && in_array($args['theme_location'], $locations_to_omit)) {<br />        $current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );<br />        do_action('wpml_switch_language', apply_filters( 'wpml_default_language', null ));<br />        <br />        add_filter('wp_nav_menu', function ($nav_menu) use ($current_lang){<br />            do_action('wpml_switch_language', $current_lang);<br />            return $nav_menu;<br />        }, 99);<br />    }<br />    <br />    return $args;<br />}, 1);

Problem:
You are experiencing issues with displaying translated taxonomy terms attached to a custom post type using the function

get_the_terms()

. The terms always appear in the default language, and the

$current_ID

variable returns nothing, which prevents displaying links to the translated taxonomy terms.
Solution:
First, ensure that your code functions correctly in the default language. If it does, the issue might be related to how the translations and taxonomy terms are set up in WPML. Here are the steps we recommend:
1. Verify that each post and its corresponding taxonomy terms are translated into the desired languages.
2. In the WPML settings, configure your custom post type (CPT) and taxonomy to be 'Translatable - only show translated items'.
3. Check if the issue persists using a default WordPress theme, as custom themes can sometimes cause conflicts.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be due to outdated methods or incompatibilities with your current setup. 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.
