Flatsome – Pages Widget Not Being Translated with WPML

Overview of the Issue

If you are using the Flatsome theme and WPML, when you add its Pages widget and set to showcase a parent page and its children as a Slider, the translations of this page do not display the slider element correctly.

Workaround

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

• Open …/wp-content/themes/flatsome/inc/shortcodes/ux_pages.php file.
• Inside the ux_pages() function, around line 70, replace the following snippet:

  if($parent) {
    if(!is_numeric($parent)){
      $id = get_page_by_path( $parent );
      $parent = $id->ID;
    }
    $post_id = $parent;
  }

• For:

  if($parent) {
  
    // WPML Workaround for compsupp-7028
    if ( class_exists('Sitepress') && is_numeric($parent)) {
      $post_type = get_post_type($parent);
      $parent = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $parent, $post_type , TRUE  );
    }
  
    if(!is_numeric($parent)){ 
      $id = get_page_by_path( $parent );
      $parent = $id->ID;
    }
    $post_id = $parent;
  }
