Problem: The client is experiencing two issues after installing WPML on their bilingual site (English and Welsh). First, the Welsh translations for fields managed by Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) are not appearing on the front end. Second, all images, which are also managed via ACF, have disappeared from the site. Solution: We recommend the following steps to address these issues: 1. Make a minor edit to the affected page, update it, and then complete the translation. This can sometimes refresh the connection between WPML and the page elements. 2. Check the field translation settings in WPML: - Go to WPML → Settings → Custom Fields Translation. - Find the dynamic field used in Elementor and set it to 'Translate' if you want different content per language, or 'Copy' if the value should remain the same across languages. If these steps do not resolve the issues, we may need temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to investigate further. Ideally, provide access to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with the Divi Woo Products module not filtering by category on translated pages in Divi 5, where the module displays all products instead of the selected category, this might be due to WPML not correctly passing the language context to the Divi 5 module. Solution: First, try manually selecting the correct product category in the Woo Products module while the admin language is set to the language of the page you are editing. This workaround involves editing the translated pages directly rather than using the WPML Translation Editor. If the issue persists, we recommend adding a custom XML configuration to your WPML settings. Here's how: 1. Navigate to your WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. 2. Add the following code:
3. After adding the code, make a minor edit to the original page and save it. This should prompt an update for the translations. 4. Re-edit the translations to ensure they are 100% complete and save.

Problem: The client is working on translating content from the SA Slider plugin using WPML and has encountered an issue where the frontend still displays the English version of the slider, regardless of the selected language. This issue arises because the shortcode generated for each language version of the slider is different, and the correct translated version isn’t being dynamically picked up. Solution: To ensure that the correct language version of the SA Slider is displayed, the client has several options: 1) Translate the shortcode itself using the WPML Translation Editor. This involves searching for and replacing the shortcode per language and adding XML code to make this shortcode compatible. Relevant documentation can be found here: Translate custom shortcodes with WPML, Numeric value translation, How to translate links. 2) Manually edit the translated page and adjust the shortcode manually. 3) Create custom code that loads the correct slider per language, for example, a list of slider numbers and their translation pairs.
If these solutions do not resolve the issue or if the SA Slider plugin is not officially compatible with WPML, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also 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.

Problem: The client set a new homepage using SiteOrigin Premium and configured it as a static page in WordPress settings. However, the new homepage does not display the layout built with SiteOrigin, showing instead the layout of the old homepage without a sidebar. Solution: We determined that the issue is not related to WPML. Here are the steps we took to diagnose the problem: 1. Temporarily deactivated WPML to ensure the issue was not related to the translation plugin. 2. Set the new homepage as a static page in the original language under Settings → Reading. 3. Found that the homepage still did not display the SiteOrigin layout, even with WPML deactivated. Since the problem persists without WPML, it suggests that the issue is related to either the theme or SiteOrigin itself. We recommend contacting SiteOrigin support for further assistance.
