Background of the issue:
I am trying to add a translation to a custom post type 'post', and to have that translation adopt the taxonomies from the original language post.

I have tried the solution on this thread: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/taxonomy-hierarchy-synchronization-not-working/.

I went to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting > Click on [Post or post type] Synchronize posts taxonomies.

I have also checked that under WPML > Settings, 'Copy taxonomy to translations' is turned on.

Please note our WP Memory limit in our wp-config.php file is set to:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

I am not sure why your plugin reads it as 40M

Symptoms:
When I translated a new post and clicked 'Publish', the taxonomies were not synced.

Questions:
Why are the taxonomies not syncing for new translations after publishing?
Is there a different step required to ensure taxonomies sync automatically for future translations?

Hello there,

Please add the following to your child theme functions.php as a workarround and see if it helps:

function fixposttype() {
	global $sitepress, $wpml_term_translations;
	$post_type = "trustee";
	$test      = new WPML_REST_Posts_Hooks( $sitepress, $wpml_term_translations );
	add_filter( "rest_prepare_$post_type", array( $test, 'prepare_post' ), 10, 2 );
}

fixposttype();

Also, I would like to let you know that the issue is now escalated to our developers.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

I have applied the code provided to functions.php and clicked to "Update file," as shown in the screenshot attached.

This solution works for now.

Thank you for letting me know the issue has been escalated.

I got an email asking if I still needed help. Since the core issue is not resolved, I prefer to leave this ticket open until we no longer need the code provided for the interim.
