Reported for: WPML Multilingual CMS 4.6.12
Overview of the issue
You may encounter an issue where pages are not marked as translated after completing the translation to 100% using WPML with the Divi theme. Additionally, the following error may be logged:
PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: htmlspecialchars_decode(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, array given in .../wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Shared/st/strategy/shortcode/class-wpml-pb-update-shortcodes-in-content.php:203
Workaround
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open …/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Shared/st/strategy/shortcode/class-wpml-pb-update-shortcodes-in-content.php file.
- Look for line 206.
- Replace:
if ( 'allow_html_tags' !== $encoding ) { $translation = htmlspecialchars( htmlspecialchars_decode( $translation ) ); } - With:
// Ensure $translation is a string if (is_array($translation)) { // Handle array to string conversion as needed $translation = implode('', $translation); } if ( 'allow_html_tags' !== $encoding ) { $translation = htmlspecialchars( htmlspecialchars_decode( $translation ) ); }
Hi,
I faced same issue and it was solved with the provided code replacement.
My template is custom template and I have some custom wpbakery elements were added to the translation editor using WPML XML.
Hello there,
I’m glad to know that the code here provided helped. 🙂
We will keep you updated once it is addressed.
Hi,
I just want to note that am using the following filter to make some of my custom wpbakery elements translatable:
add_filter( 'wpml_pb_shortcode_encode', 'wpml_pb_shortcode_encode_urlencoded_json', 10, 3 );
function wpml_pb_shortcode_encode_urlencoded_json( $string, $encoding, $original_string ) {
if ( 'urlencoded_json' === $encoding ) {
$output = array();
foreach ( $original_string as $combined_key => $value ) {
$parts = explode( '_', $combined_key );
$i = array_pop( $parts );
$key = implode( '_', $parts );
$output[ $i ][ $key ] = $value;
}
$string = urlencode( json_encode( $output ) );
}
return $string;
}
add_filter( 'wpml_pb_shortcode_decode', 'wpml_pb_shortcode_decode_urlencoded_json', 10, 3 );
function wpml_pb_shortcode_decode_urlencoded_json( $string, $encoding, $original_string ) {
if ( 'urlencoded_json' === $encoding ) {
$rows = json_decode( urldecode( $original_string ), true );
$string = array();
foreach ( $rows as $i => $row ) {
foreach ( $row as $key => $value ) {
if ( in_array( $key, array( 'text', 'title', 'features', 'substring', 'btn_text', 'label', 'value', 'y_values', 'option_text' ) ) ) {
$string[ $key . '_' . $i ] = array( 'value' => $value, 'translate' => true );
} else {
$string[ $key . '_' . $i ] = array( 'value' => $value, 'translate' => false );
}
}
}
}
return $string;
}
Thanks for the hint!
