Problem: If you're experiencing issues where custom field values of a taxonomy are empty after copying posts and taxonomies into another language using ACF Pro, while the values for the post type were copied successfully, we have a solution. Solution: First, navigate to the Field Group and set the translation option to
Expert
and save. Next, go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation and ensure that every field is set to either
translate
or
copy
, based on your needs. Then, make a minor change to the original content to update it and check the translation afterward. Alternatively, you can try deleting the translated post and creating a new one from scratch to see if the fields appear for translation this way. For more detailed guidance, please refer to our complete documentation here: Translate sites built with ACF.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
