Problem: If you're experiencing an MD5 error when saving ACF field groups in non-primary languages, particularly with nested fields such as a group containing a sub-field, this might be due to a bug in ACFML versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.1. Solution: We recommend applying a temporary workaround until a permanent fix is available. Please edit the file
This adjustment should prevent the error from occurring when saving in secondary languages.

Problem: When you create a product translation in WooCommerce, it imports all the data, but the page only works after you open the product in the WordPress editor and click Save. Without this step, it results in a 404 error, even after trying to 'Recreate permanent links'. Solution: We recommend following the steps outlined in the documentation to address issues with .htaccess that might be causing the 404 errors. Please check the solution provided here: https://wpml.org/faq/why-is-htaccess-getting-overwritten-with-the-language-folder-on-my-wpml-website/

Problem: If you're experiencing orders stuck on hold and encountering a database error indicating that the table 'dbuwnruvbop5cs.bfs_icl_strings' doesn't exist, this might be due to a missing table in your WPML setup. Solution: First, ensure you have a full backup of your site. Then, attempt the initial debugging steps by following the workaround provided here: Missing _icl_strings and _icl_string_translations data tables. Next, update all outdated plugins and themes. You can check for updates on your site's update page. If the issue persists, it might be necessary for our support team to access your site to make direct adjustments in the database, specifically within the languages table of the WPML plugin, by adding the missing information.

Problem: The client is unable to activate the OTGS plugin despite receiving a 'Plugin activated' message, and continues to receive a message to activate the WPML String Translation plugin for Rank Math settings, even though it is already active. Solution: The OTGS Installer plugin is only necessary during the initial installation of WPML. Since WPML plugins are already installed on your site, the OTGS Installer is no longer needed and can be safely deleted. It is expected behavior that it cannot be activated in this case. The issue with the Rank Math plugin displaying a message to activate the WPML String Translation plugin is a known issue. This is a false-positive notice and is expected to be resolved in future Rank Math releases. As a temporary workaround, please refer to the following guide: https://wpml.org/errata/rank-math-seo-false-string-translation-activation-notice/

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where the bundle ID is not correctly pointing to its translated version in WPML, despite being set to copy, this might be similar to the issue we encountered. In this specific case, the bundle ID 20 was not automatically pointing to its translated counterpart, ID 21. Solution: We recommend checking the settings to ensure that the IDs are correctly linked for translation. If the problem persists, it may require further investigation by our compatibility team. We will keep the client updated on any progress.

Problem: You are facing an issue where product bundles are not being copied over to translations in WooCommerce. Even manual additions disappear upon publishing. Solution: This problem stems from a function in the WooCommerce core, not the WooCommerce Product Bundles plugin. Currently, there's an internal ticket reviewing potential changes to this behavior. Meanwhile, you can prevent the duplication of translations when duplicating a product by adding the following code to your theme's functions.php file:
/** * Prevent WCML from also duplicating the translations * when duplicating a product. */ add_action( 'admin_init', function() { /** @var \woocommerce_wpml $woocommerce_wpml */ global $woocommerce_wpml; if ( isset( $woocommerce_wpml->duplicate_product ) ) { remove_filter( 'woocommerce_product_duplicate', [ $woocommerce_wpml->duplicate_product, 'woocommerce_duplicate_product' ] ); } } );
