[Resolved] after transating captions of my images in post it shows {%CAPTION%} instead of translated text

I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to test the issue.
(preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible)

**Before we proceed It is necessary to take FULL BACKUP of your database and your website. Providing us with access, you agree that a backup has been taken **

I often use the Duplicator plugin for this purpose: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
You will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.
The information you enter is private which means only you and I have access to it.

NOTE: If access to the live site is not possible and the staging site does not exist please provide me with a duplicator package created with the duplicator plugin.

Thank you,
Bobby

Hi,

Please go to Appearance-> Themes-> and update your theme and its add-ons to their latest versions.

The current theme is on Version: 27.4.1

On Version 27.4.2 – May 7th, 2024 the theme developers also released a fix that should resolve this issue.

*BeBuilder - Image element - Caption field - Dynamic data added

Let me know your results, please.

Hi Martin,

I will discuss this with our compatibility team to further investigate. Still, yes I would recommend also opening a ticket with their support if you can to help expedite the issue.

I agree, the workaround is simply a workaround and not meant as a permanent solution 🙂

I will update you as soon as I have new information here.

Hi Martin,

I have run a few tests and it can confirm that with the standard WP editor this works as expected with WPML.

The issue does seem to stem from the issue that was fixed from the theme.

However, now that you have updated the version I do see that it is working OK for me.

See the new WPML Test 2 page I created --> hidden link

I do not know why the 'caption' in the ATE editor still references the old caption, however, the correct caption is listed under this item which is correctly registered

Hi there,

Please add the following code to your functions.php file:

// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7497
function wpml_compsupp7497_replace_caption_placeholder_shortcode( $output, $attr, $content ) {
    // Define the placeholder constant
    $caption_placeholder = '{%CAPTION%}';

    // Check if the caption attribute contains the placeholder
    if ( strpos( $attr['caption'], $caption_placeholder ) !== false ) {
        // Extract the attachment ID from the shortcode attributes
        if ( preg_match( '/attachment_(\d+)/', $attr['id'], $matches ) ) {
            $attachment_id = $matches[1];

            // Translate the attachment ID to the current language
            $translated_attachment_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'attachment', true );

            // Retrieve the actual caption from the translated attachment's post_excerpt
            $actual_caption = get_post_field( 'post_excerpt', $translated_attachment_id );

            // Replace the placeholder with the actual caption in the caption attribute
            $attr['caption'] = str_replace( $caption_placeholder, $actual_caption, $attr['caption'] );
        }
    }

    // Remove the filter to prevent recursive calls
    remove_filter( 'img_caption_shortcode', 'wpml_compsupp7497_replace_caption_placeholder_shortcode', 10 );

    // Return the modified caption shortcode output
    $output = img_caption_shortcode( $attr, $content );

    // Add the filter again
    add_filter( 'img_caption_shortcode', 'wpml_compsupp7497_replace_caption_placeholder_shortcode', 10, 3 );

    return $output;
}
add_filter( 'img_caption_shortcode', 'wpml_compsupp7497_replace_caption_placeholder_shortcode', 10, 3 );

If you are not confident making adding this to functions.php, I'd be happy to do it, for please review the FTP access as the one I have is not currently working.(you can edit the previous private reply if needed)

NOTE: Always have a recent and working backup before making any changes recommended by our team or a 3rd party

Let me know your results, please.
