Custom Work

Problem:
If you're using

apply_filters('wpml_copy_post_to_language')

to create translations of products and find that it does not copy product attributes, you might encounter difficulties in achieving complete product translations.
Solution:
First, ensure that in WPML > Settings, under Taxonomy translation, the translation preference for Attributes is set to "Copy". If this does not resolve the issue, you can manually copy product attributes using custom code. Here's a step-by-step guide:
1. Create an independent translation of the post in the target language using

$translated_post_id = apply_filters('wpml_copy_post_to_language', $product->get_id(), $target_language, false);

2. Retrieve the translated product with

$translated_product = wc_get_product($translated_post_id);

3. Get attributes from the original product with

$attributes = $product->get_attributes();

4. Set these attributes to the translated product with

$translated_product->set_attributes($attributes);

5. Save the translated product with

$translated_product->save();

If you need further customization, consider hiring a developer from WPML Contractors.

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where a SQL query sorts posts by a custom meta field 'trainings_display_date_start' on the homepage. This works correctly on the non-translated (English) page, but not on the translated page, resulting in no posts being returned.
Solution:
1. Ensure that the 'trainings_display_date_start' is copied over to the translated posts so there is meta data to sort by.
2. Include a meta query that returns only posts with a start date and then sort by that start date.
3. Verify that the posts are translated and published in the second language.
4. Test the issue with the WP default theme and only WPML plugins enabled to see if the issue is caused by something else.

Problem:
You are trying to display a translated profile field in a different section than the default Profile section on your website. Specifically, you have moved the field to the 'Profile header' using custom code, but the field displays in English instead of the selected language.
Solution:
To ensure the field displays in the correct language, you should use the

wpml_translate_single_string

hook instead of the

wpml_object_id

filter, as the latter is intended for filtering post types by ID. Here is how you can modify your code:

function render_member_header() {<br />  $expertise = xprofile_get_field_data('My Offer', bp_displayed_user_id(), 'comma');<br />  echo '<span>'. apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $expertise, 'context', 'name') .'</span>';<br />}<br />add_action('bp_before_member_header_meta', 'render_member_header');

For more details on using this hook, please visit wpml_translate_single_string documentation.

Problem:
The footer of your website is no longer being translated into English and French, and the associated translation strings are not found.
Solution:
If you find that the footer of your website is no longer being translated, we recommend checking the translation of the footer block. We have updated the translation for the page with the ID in the WPML String Translation Tool. You can check this by clicking here.
