[Resolved] Essential addons filterable gallery -> item links not translatable

Hello Stéphane,

I checked the XML in the other ticket and it includes that field for translation, I'm not sure what's happening, I need to take a closer look at this issue.

I also checked your debug info and I see that there are updates available for Elementor and Elementor Addons, can you please update both?

Also, I'd like to request access to the site again, given the fact that this is a new thread, I'm afraid I need you to submit the form again. You can add my user once more to the site and I'll create a password for it: mateus.g@onthegosystems.com.

You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply. The information you will enter is private which means only you and I can see and have access to it.

Our Debugging Procedures

I will be checking various settings in the backend to see if the issue can be resolved. Although I won't be making changes that affect the live site, it is still good practice to backup the site before providing us access. In the event that we do need to debug the site further, I will duplicate the site and work in a separate, local development environment to avoid affecting the live site.

Privacy and Security Policy

We have strict policies regarding privacy and access to your information. Please see:
https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/

**IMPORTANT**

- Please make a backup of site files and database before providing us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields this means your post & website login details will be made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details unless you see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, please ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this: hidden link

Please, let me know if you need any additional details. Have a nice day.

Hello there,

Thanks for your patience.

We have changed a bit the last line of the XML code, to be like this:

<field type="Filterable Gallery: Item Link" key_of="eael_fg_gallery_img_link" editor_type="LINK">url</field> 

Then, we did a minor change on the original language page hidden link, and now the links can be translated and point to their English version. For instance, we did this for the first gallery link, and it is working: hidden link

Further, I have noticed that the 'Projects' posts are not translated (or at least, the translations were not completed). I had to edit the "Métamorphoses Créatives" project, open its translation and save it. Then the link could be translated in the 'projects' page.

At last, please bear in mind that these links are internal, therefore they should be translated automatically (if the pages have a completed translation available), so there is no need to translate them manually in ATE.

After making sure that every project has an English version, you can use the 'Scan now and adjust links' option in the WPML -> Settings -> Translate Link Targets section.

Please give it another try and let us know how it goes. Thank you.

Hi there,

If the link is internal, then it should be automatically translated. If it is not, you can try to search for the link in ATE using this method: https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/.

About the Essential Addons integration, I'm afraid this scenario sometimes is expected. Even the compatible plugins/themes might present issues at any point, mainly if new custom widgets are added in the plugin repository. Therefore, it's responsibility of the plugin authors to maintain the compatibility of their code with WPML.

Please review the info shared above and check again if you're able to translate the links. Thank you.

Hi there,

Glad that we were able to resolve this.

In this case, I hope we are good to close here. Feel free to contact us any time if you need assistance with our products.

Kind regards,
Mateus.
