WP Job Manager – Deleting a Post from the Frontend Does Not Remove Translations

Overview of the Issue

When using WP Job Manager with WPML, deleting Job posts or Resume posts from the frontend (Job Dashboard) doesn’t automatically delete their translations. Even when the “When deleting a post, delete translations as well” option is activated in ”WPML → Settings → Posts and pages synchronization“.

Workaround

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

For Job Posts

• Open /wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/includes/class-job-dashboard-shortcode.php
• Look for line 466
• Replace:

  case 'delete':
  	// Trash it.
  	wp_trash_post( $job_id );

• With:

  case 'delete':
  	// Trash it.
  	// WPML workaround for compsupp-7729
  	if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
  		$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $job_id , 'post_job_listing' );
  		$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, 'job_listing' );
  		if ( !empty( $translations ) ) {
  			foreach ( $translations as $lang => $translation ) {
  				$translation_id = absint( $translation->element_id );
  				wp_trash_post( $translation_id );
  			}
  		}
  	} else {
  		wp_trash_post( $job_id );
  	}

For Resume Posts

• Open /wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-resumes/includes/class-wp-resume-manager-shortcodes.php
• Look for line 125
• Replace:

  case 'delete':
  	// Trash it.
  	wp_trash_post( $resume_id );

• With:

  case 'delete':
  	// Trash it.
  	// WPML workaround for compsupp-7757
  	if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) {
  		$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $resume_id , 'post_resume' );
  		$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, 'resume' );
  		if ( !empty( $translations ) ) {
  			foreach ( $translations as $lang => $translation ) {
  				$translation_id = absint( $translation->element_id );
  				wp_trash_post( $translation_id );
  			}
  		}
  	} else {
  		wp_trash_post( $resume_id );
  	}
