Problem:
The client was unable to display Contact Form 7 forms in secondary languages on their website, even after attempting to manually chnage the form IDs.

Solution:
We identified that the issue was due to the "ACF Field For Contact Form 7" plugin not being compatible with WPML. The form IDs were not being translated correctly (e.g., ID 5 in French and 1567 in English).

We added a filter to the plugin's code to translate the form ID using WPML's

wpml_object_id

hook. This was done in the file

/wp-content/plugins/acf-field-for-contact-form-7/includes/acf-fields/acf-contact-form-7-v5.php

at line 63. We provided the following code :

function load_value( $value, $post_id, $field ) {
			if ( ! is_admin() ) {
				$contact_forms = WPCF7_ContactForm::find();
				$form_id = ! empty( $value ) ? (int) $value : 0;
				$form_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $form_id, 'wpcf7_contact_form' );
				foreach ( $contact_forms as $form ) {
					if ( $form->id() === $form_id ) {
						// apply filter.
						$contect_object = apply_filters( 'acf_cf7_object', false );
						// If check filter.
						if ( $contect_object ) {
							return $form;
						} else {
							return do_shortcode( '[contact-form-7 id="' . $form->id() . '" title="' . $form->title() . ']' );
						}
					}
				}
			} else {
				return $value;
			}
		}

We advised the client to test this solution and to contact the plugin author to inform them about the change and invite them to join our GoGlobal program so we can assist in making the plugin compatible. The GoGlobal program link is https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/.

We also warned that the added line of code would be overwritten with each plugin update.

If this solution does not seem relevant, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
