[Resolved] Categories of a translated post switch to main language categories when the article is scheduled

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where a post translated from French to English and scheduled for later publication reverts to the original French category upon publication, we have identified a solution.
Solution:
We recommend modifying a specific file within the WPML plugin. Please follow these steps:
1. Navigate to

/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/addons/wpml-page-builders/classes/Shared/Shutdown/Hooks.php

.
2. Replace the existing

translateMedias()

function with the following code:

public function translateMedias() {<br />    if (!wp_doing_cron()) {<br />        foreach ( $this->pbIntegration->get_save_post_queue() as $post ) {<br />            this->pbIntegration->translate_media( $post );<br />        }<br />    }<br />}

This adjustment ensures that media translations are not processed during scheduled tasks, which helps maintain the correct category associations for scheduled posts.
