Problem: If you're experiencing issues with the article order in BetterDocs not persisting when WPML is active, and articles losing their translated category assignments or linking to categories from both the original and translated languages, this might be due to a compatibility issue between WPML and BetterDocs. Solution: We recommend trying the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Ensure you have a backup of your site. 2. Open the file
5. Add the following helper function at the end of the class around line 1130, before the final '}':
/**<br /> * WPML Integration: Sync post taxonomies across translations<br /> * @param array $post_ids Array of post IDs to sync<br /> */<br />private function wpml_sync_posts_taxonomies($post_ids) {<br /> global $sitepress;<br /> if (!$sitepress || empty($post_ids)) return;<br /><br /> $sync = new \WPML_Term_Translation_Utils($sitepress);<br /><br /> foreach ($post_ids as $post_id) {<br /> $trid = $sitepress->get_element_trid($post_id, 'post_docs');<br /> if (!$trid) continue;<br /><br /> $translations = $sitepress->get_element_translations($trid, 'post_docs');<br /> $original_id = $post_id;<br /><br /> foreach ($translations as $translation) {<br /> if (isset($translation->original) && $translation->original == 1) {<br /> $original_id = $translation->element_id;<br /> break;<br /> }<br /> }<br /><br /> foreach ($sitepress->get_active_languages() as $lang => $details) {<br /> $sync->sync_terms($original_id, $lang);<br /> }<br /> }<br />}
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to updates or different circumstances, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us for further assistance.
