Divi Shop widget does not keep the selected product categories when WPML is active

Overview of the issue

When you use Divi’s Shop module on a page or a theme builder layout, the Included Categories options don’t remain selected when WPML is active.

Workaround

We’re contacting Divi theme developers to apply a permanent fix for this issue. In the meantime, you can use this workaround:

Please backup your WordPress files and database first.

1. Go to wp-content/themes/Divi/includes/builder/plugin-compat/sitepress-multilingual-cms.php
2. Find

   1	$new_ids[] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $cat_id, 'product_cat' );

3. Replace it with

   1 2 3 4 5 6

   $cat_id_translated = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $cat_id, 'product_cat');                 if ($cat_id_translated) {                     $new_ids[] = $cat_id_translated;                 } else {                     $new_ids[] = $cat_id;                 }
