Betheme – Global Header/Footer Translation Not Displaying on Secondary Language

Overview of the Issue

In websites using Betheme theme and WPML, translated global header/footer templates may not display correctly on translated pages. Instead, the original language template appears.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

• Open …/wp-content/themes/betheme/functions/theme-functions.php file.
• Replace the following snippet:

  // wpml fix
  if( defined( 'ICL_SITEPRESS_VERSION' ) ){
  	$default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
  	$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
  	if( !empty($default_lang) && !empty($current_lang) && $current_lang != $default_lang ) $lang_postfix = '_'.$current_lang;
  }else if( function_exists( 'pll_the_languages' ) ) {
  	if( pll_default_language() != pll_current_language() ) $lang_postfix = '_'.pll_current_language();
  }

• With:

  // wpml fix
  if( defined( 'ICL_SITEPRESS_VERSION' ) ){
  	$default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
  	$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
  
  	// WPML WORKAROUND FOR compsupp-7113 (we are disabling $lang_postfix)
  	if( !empty($default_lang) && !empty($current_lang) && $current_lang != $default_lang ) {
  		//$lang_postfix = '_'.$current_lang;
  	}
  }else if( function_exists( 'pll_the_languages' ) ) {
  	if( pll_default_language() != pll_current_language() ) $lang_postfix = '_'.pll_current_language();
  }

• Then, open this other file …/wp-content/themes/betheme/functions.php
• Replace the mfn_global() function:

  function mfn_global() {
      global $mfn_global;
  
  	$mfn_global = array(
          'header' => mfn_template_part_ID('header'),
          'footer' => mfn_template_part_ID('footer'),
          'sidemenu' => mfn_global_sidemenu_id(),
          'single_product' => mfn_single_product_tmpl(),
          'blog' => mfn_archive_template_id('blog'),
          'portfolio' => mfn_archive_template_id('portfolio'),
      );
  }

• With:

  function mfn_global() {
      global $mfn_global;
  
      $header_global = mfn_template_part_ID('header');
  	  $header_global = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $header_global, get_post_type($header_global) , TRUE  );
  
      $footer_global = mfn_template_part_ID('footer');
      $footer_global = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $footer_global , get_post_type($footer_global) , TRUE  );
  
  	  $mfn_global = array(
          'header' => $header_global,
          'footer' => $footer_global,
          'sidemenu' => mfn_global_sidemenu_id(),
          'single_product' => mfn_single_product_tmpl(),
          'blog' => mfn_archive_template_id('blog'),
          'portfolio' => mfn_archive_template_id('portfolio'),
      );
  }
