In the product admin section I have encountered a critical issue that when I had changed the language into Greek as primary through WPML(before primary language English), now in every product edit page it has locked all the field to update it. Now even It has blocked modification for both the languages. so I need to contact with WPML support to fix it. |

Hello, thanks for the patience. As I see from the chat my colleague already explained a viable solution for your issue and your last reply states: please find the solution all product primary language in Greek I am afraid the best we do is as we already explained: 1) Change the default language of the product manually: - https://wpml.org/forums/topic/changing-the-default-language-of-a-page/ 2) Hire a developer to create a custom solution for you. - https://wpml.org/contractors/ Also since we limit 1 issue per 1 ticket, to keep things clear and easy to follow. If you have any other issue please open a new ticket or let me know and I can do it for you. Regards, |

Hello, you first need to disconnect the Greek product, then connect it to the English one and choose Greek as be default. So steps would be: 1) Open and edit your product in 2nd language (Greek) Let me know how it goes and if any other questions. Regards, |

Hello, thanks for getting back. You have set to use WordPress editor for these products, but have enabled WPML Translate everything mode, so each time you disconnect it will auto-translate. I have disabled it for now and set it to Translate what you choose from WPML > Settings. Yes, such an issue with variation can happen as you had products in the different default languages, and now they are disconnected. You might need to re-add variation in the new default language and save once you connect products. Maybe a simpler way would be to continue and leave this, as I see you have 100+ products, or delete all regular default EN products, check, and make sure Greek products work fine. Use automatic translation and translate them to English, I think it would be faster. Let us know how it goes. Regards, |

Hello, it should be Greek, but if you are creating it in English language then you can also create it default in English. You can always check what the sidebar says, what is language of product when creating it, image attached. Regards, |
