Cornerstone – Shortcodes Aren’t Rendered in the Translated Pages

Published Updated

Overview of the Issue

New Shortcodes have been added to Cornerstone 2.1.7 and X theme 5.2.5. These shortcodes don’t load on the Translation Editor page.

This issue arises because the shortcodes have changed. The text to translate is no longer displayed in the content editor. There is an id attribute that points to the text stored in post meta-data.

It is worth mentioning that the classic shortcodes are loaded to the Translation Editor page and can be translated normally.

Workaround

This issue is fixed in WPML 4.2.0. Updating solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.

To translated pages built with CornerStone you can:

  1. Do not update to the latest version of X/Pro themes. We highly recommend using this method as you will be able to translate your pages normally using the Translation Editor.
  2. Use the manual translation.
We are working on fixing this issue in an upcoming release of WPML so that you can translate the pages built with Cornerstone using the Translation Editor.
