Problem: The client needs to filter posts in the WPML Translation Dashboard to show only those that are not translated and not duplicated, excluding posts where the translation process has started. Additionally, the client wants to duplicate all published posts of a particular type that do not have any duplicated pages for other languages or where the translation is not started. Solution: To filter posts as required: 1. Go to WPML → Translation Dashboard. 2. In the filter options at the top, locate the Translation status dropdown. 3. Select Not translated from the options. This will display only the posts that are completely untranslated and not duplicated.
To duplicate posts: 1. In the Translation Dashboard, select the Type of post you want to duplicate (e.g., 'Post', 'Page', or a specific Custom Post Type). 2. For the Status filter, choose Published. 3. For the Translation status filter, select Not translated. 4. Select all the posts you wish to duplicate by checking the box next to the Title column header. 5. Scroll down and use the Translate selected content section to duplicate the selected posts.
For automation via a custom script, WPML's Coding API provides hooks such as
apply_filters('wpml_post_duplicates', $post_id)
and
do_action('wpml_make_post_duplicates', $post_id)
to detect and create duplicates programmatically. However, this requires custom development outside the standard support services. More details and examples are available at WPML Coding API documentation.

Problème : Le client ne peut pas sauvegarder la page d'administration de la page d'accueil en polonais sur leur site WordPress. L'erreur retournée est "La mise à jour a échoué. La réponse n’est pas une réponse JSON valide." Solution : Nous avons identifié que le problème survient lorsque le plugin WPRocket est actif en même temps que le plugin permalink-manager. Un conflit est également détecté dans le fichier
/wp-content/themes/sur-mesure/functions.php
à cause d'un champ Advanced Custom Fields qui interagit incorrectement avec le gestionnaire de permaliens. Pour résoudre ce problème, nous recommandons de commenter ou de réviser le code dans le fichier functions.php, spécifiquement la fonction
pm_fix_language_mismatch
.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where the CSS breaks on translated pages of your website, it might be related to how global sections are rendered within your theme. Specifically, the Code Snippets plugin may not be loading your theme's CSS correctly for the second language. Solution: We recommend using a Child Theme instead of the Code Snippets plugin. You can add the following snippet to the functions.php file of your Child Theme to address some of the CSS issues:
add_action('init', function() {
// Hook location to output the global section
$location_hook = 'nectar_hook_global_section_footer';
add_action($location_hook, function() use ($location_hook) {
// Detect current language
$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
// Default section ID (Spanish)
$global_section_id = '24759-2';
// Use translated section ID for English
if ( $current_lang === 'en' ) {
$global_section_id = '26378';
}
// Default category ID (Spanish)
$category_id = 47;
// Use translated category ID for English
if ( $current_lang === 'en' ) {
$category_id = 156;
}
// Output the section only if we're on the correct category archive
if ( is_product_category( $category_id ) ) {
Nectar_Global_Sections_Render::get_instance()->output_global_section($global_section_id, $location_hook);
}
});
});
However, if disabling the Code Snippets plugin resolves all issues, we suggest not using it and instead managing code through the Child Theme as shown above.

Problem: The client is unable to translate a PDF file assigned to a custom 'project' post using an ACF field of type 'file'. The field is set to 'Translate' in WPML settings, but it does not appear in the translation screen, and the same PDF file as the PL version is automatically used for the EN version. Solution: We recommended inserting the following code into the theme's functions.php file to allow translating numeric values, which include the PDF file ID:
After adding this code, make a minor change to the page title and attempt to translate the PDF file ID, which should now be visible in the media library. Additionally, we suggested using the Media Translation interface for a more user-friendly approach to translating the PDF file.
