Antecedentes del problema:
I have created a Custom Post Type with ACF in the main language (Spanish), so the URL for the archive is: hidden link. I want to translate the slugs 'generadores-electricos' to Catalan and English. The translated URLs for the archive should be: hidden link and hidden link. The custom Post Type slug archive is registered as shown in this screenshot: hidden link.
Síntomas:
I can't manage to translate the slugs 'generadores-electricos' to Catalan and English.
Preguntas:
How can I translate the slugs for my Custom Post Type archive using WPML?
Thanks for your quick response. I did this, but the permalink you mentioned is for a single custom post (it's working fine, for example: hidden link). However, I want to translate the slug for the archive page: hidden link.
I tried making "Tipos de contenido (acf-post-type)" translatable, but it doesn't work, or I haven't figured out how to do it.
After that go to WordPress Dashboard > Templates and find the Elementor template you used to create the archive page.
Do a small change there and then click the pencil icon or circle icon to go to the advanced translation editor and you will see the slug there to translate.
I can help you out by checking the site myself. I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.
Alright, I haven't touched the acf-post-type, and I have a full backup of the website. I tried the solution you posted but couldn't get it to work, so I’ll give you access. However, I can't seem to find how to make this post private.
Please go back to the first message. In this chat, I told you that the slug in the archive is not set in Elementor. I set a custom slug in ACF advanced options. Is that slug translatable? How can I translate it?
There is a checkbox below the reply box that you can use to provide the login information.
From your explanation, I found out the option you have mentioned.
I created a WordPress installation, installed ACF Pro and ACF Multilingual and WPML.
Using ACF I created a post type called Movie. Then on the advanced options under the URL I have found the slug option for Archive and added movie-list.
Would you please enter the dashboard of that installation using the link below and confirm that I understood it correctly?
hidden link
By the way, I could not find a way to translate that option.
- I tested the custom field translation in WPML settings.
- String Translation.
- Admin text section of the String Translation.
I asked the second-tier support to see if they know if it is possible to translate that slug option.
