Overview of the Issue
When using the Elementor Image Carousel Widget with WPML, translated captions for images do not display on the frontend, even when captions are translated in the Media Library and the page is translated.
Workaround
This issue is fixed in WPML Multilingual CMS 4.7.4. Updating solves it on your site, so you only need this workaround if you can’t update yet.
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open your theme’s functions.php file.
- Add the following snippet:
// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7726
add_filter( 'elementor/frontend/before_render', 'wpml_compsupp7726_filter_imagecarousel_widget');
function wpml_compsupp7726_filter_imagecarousel_widget($element) {
if ( 'image-carousel' !== $element->get_name() ) {
return;
}
$settings = $element->get_settings();
if ( isset( $settings['carousel'] ) && is_array( $settings['carousel'] ) ) {
foreach ( $settings['carousel'] as $key => $value ) {
$post_type = get_post_type( $value['id'] );
if ( ! $post_type ) {
continue;
}
$value['id'] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $value['id'], $post_type, true );
unset($settings['carousel'][$key]['id']);
$settings['carousel'][$key]['id'] = $value['id'];
}
$element->set_settings( 'carousel', $settings['carousel'] );
}
}
