Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

1) Would you please tell me how the swatches images are added? Do you use a third-party plugin for this?

2) Could you please share your Debug information with me?
You can read a detailed explanation about it here. (http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support)
The debug info will give me a lot of information about how your site is configured.

Best regards,
Osama

Good morning,

1. The images are added manualy via wordpress upload system.

I have added the debug info. For a strange reason when i create a product in greek language with variations and swatches the images are shown correctly . When i try to edit the english translation of the product the variations and swatches are locked . A locked icon is shown to product options.

Hi,

It's locked because the images should be copied from the default language. If the images are not copied, I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

The problem is that the website is in production live with sales and customers visiting the website.
What about if i create a staging website and give you access there?

Hi,

We prefer staging and testing sites to debug the issue without affecting the production sites.

Please share the staging site access details with me after creating it.

Thanks,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. Could you please check the following steps?

1- Go to WPML-> Settings-> Custom Fields Translation section
2- Click on "Show System Fields"
3- Search for the following fields and set them to "Copy Once"

  • _swatchly_product_meta
  • _woodmart_swatches_attribute
  • 4- Edit the product in the default language
    5- Make sure that the swatches images are set correctly, and update the product
    6- Edit the translated product to add the swatches images
    7* Clear the cache and check the front end

    I've applied the above steps to the staging site. Please check the English product and let me know if it works correctly. (hidden link)

    Best regards,
    Osama
