Background of the issue:
I’ve translated all my product attribute terms into every language via WPML → Taxonomy Translation → Product Taxonomy (X), and everything is working well. I am trying to make the term thumbnail image appear in all languages on my site hidden link.
Symptoms:
The term thumbnail image does not automatically display for all translated terms.
Questions:
How can I make the term thumbnail automatically display for all translated terms?
Thank you for your help. My "thumbnail_id" was already set to "copy". I guess this isn't working for me because I use the Woocommerce plugin "WooCommerce Product Search" by Itthinx (officially woo plugin). See printscreen.
Is there a way to also set this thumbnail to "copy"?
1.- This field is probably set as non-translatable in the same section as the thumbnail_id; however, I will need to take a closer look.
Please share the URL of the product attribute in the screenshot attached to your previous message.
2.- Also, I have set your next message private so you can share the access credentials to the site in a secure way. This will allow me to visit the URL shared in the previous point and check the configuration.
Thank you very much for sharing the information requested.
If you edit the term and inspect the image, you will find the field id 'product_search_image'. That custom field is set to 'Don't translate' in WPML -> Settings -> Custom Term Meta Translation
Just change the configuration of the 'product_search_image' field to 'Copy' -> Save the changes and update the translation of the term.
Thank you for checking. Unfortunately I don't think it is resolved, the field id you checked is named 'product_search_image' and the configuration in wpml -> settings -> custom term meta translation says 'product_search_image_id'.
Yes, 'product_search_image_id' is the correct field. I set it to 'Copy' then re-saved the term (hidden link) in English, and when I update the term into the secondary languages, you can see the image.
Fantastic, thanks Carlos!
Now it's working on my end as well.
The first time I tried my Yoast Multilingual plugin / Yoast Woocommerce plugin was activated and for some reason I get an error every time I save a taxonomy with with those plugins active.
I deactivated them, updated the taxonomy terms and now everything is working well.
If you have a clue why my SEO plugins in combination with WPML and taxonomy updates crashes feel free to let me know 🙂
Hi, I'm happy to hear that the original issue was solved 🙂
Regarding the problem with Yoast, I kindly ask you to check if there is any error in the JavaScript console of the browser or in the debug.log file. With your findings, I will split the ticket and will continue there.
