Bricks Theme – Template Duplication Issue with WPML Media Translation Active

Overview of the Issue

When using the WPML’s duplication feature with Bricks templates, you will encounter that changes in default language are not being reflected in other languages when the WPML Media Translation plugin is active.

Workaround

Update to WPML 5.0 or later. Duplicated Bricks templates now follow the changes you make in the default language, also with WPML Media Translation active.

If you cannot update yet:

Part I

• Open …/wp-content/plugins/wpml-media-translation/classes/media-translation/class-wpml-media-custom-field-images-translation.php file.
• Look for line 56.
• Just after:

  $setting          = $settings_factory->post_meta_setting( $meta_key );

• Add:

  // Workaround part 1
  $bricks_meta_keys = array(
  	'_bricks_template_type',
  	'_bricks_page_content_2',
  	'_bricks_editor_mode',
  	'_bricks_template_settings',
  );
  
  if ( strpos( $meta_key, 'bricks' ) !== false ) {
  	return;
  }

Part II

• Open …/wp-content/plugins/wpml-media-translation/classes/media-translation/class-wpml-media-set-posts-media-flag.php file.
• Look for line 128.
• Just after:

  $post_with_media_files = $this->post_with_media_files_factory->create( $post_id );

• Comment the following part:

  // Workaround part 2
  /*if ( $post_with_media_files->get_media_ids() ) { // it seems that this line is causing this issue
  	update_post_meta( $post_id, self::HAS_MEDIA_POST_FLAG, 1 );
  } else {
  	delete_post_meta( $post_id, self::HAS_MEDIA_POST_FLAG );
  }*/
