I wold like to convert a web site to use wpml from polylang.
My plan: run a migration plugin and then change some php code to wpml related one so website can work with wpml instead of polylang.

Reading this https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/migrate-polylang-wpml/ look easy but is this plugin not out of date?

Did not tried yet because need to know:
1. Is there some plugin or some helpers where i can hook the standard polylang functions to translate the website and woocommerce pages?
2. Shold i rewrite every theme files/templates and php code before i start migration? Or there some temporary plugin to prevent the wpml/polylang conflicts?

the web site i will work: banisio.com

I am a php developer, so if you have some useful dev related articles or php code or useful wpml/polylang hooks i can use, will be much appreciated

Thank you!

Hello there!

I'll help you get started while a supporter takes your case.

From what you mention here i suspect that the best approach you can use is to create a staging site, create a snapshot of your site BEFORE doing the migration and then start migrating, possibly with all the plugins disabled and using a standard theme.

Then you can enable the error log and start enabling the plugins or themes that have the hooks and see if you get errors or warnings.

there are hooks on our end which can be found here:

- WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/wpml-hooks-reference/

- WooCommerce Multilingual: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/wcml-hooks-reference/

Try it out and let us know how it goes 🙂
