When changing an image in the original language (Spanish), it would automatically show for the translations as well (Dutch and English) both for the pages as the pet posts.
For some reason now the images are no longer automatically updated. I have to manually go into each translation using the Advanced Editor and press save to see the changes.
Please see screenshots: hidden link hidden link hidden link
My question was regarding the pets-post AND the pages (see screenshot home page).
It works fine when using the regular posts. Here, the image appears automatically for the translations without having to go into the Advanced Editor and save each translation manually.
I totally understood the issue you're having right now. The images added to the post in the default language will not be copied to the translated post if "Media Duplication" is disabled for that post. Would you please open the post in the original language in the editor and make sure that the Media Duplication(Check this screenshot for more clarity: hidden link) is enabled for the post?
If that is enabled already, then please follow the steps mentioned below.
- Navigate to WPML > Settings and scroll down to the "Media Translation" section
- Check the options in How to handle media for new content: and make sure they are checked.
- Click on "Apply".
- After saving the changes, check the options available in You can check if some attachments can be duplicated to translated content:
- Select all the options and click on the "Start" button
This action will adjust media in all languages and hopefully solve the issue.
Please let me know the update. I will be happy to assist you if further assistance is needed in this matter.
Media duplication was already checked for both the home page and the pet post example (Ali) I sent. Also, under WPML > Settings > Media Translation all options had already been checked under > How to handle media for new content.
The only thing I have not yet done, is the last advice you provided regarding "You can check if some attachments can be duplicated to translated content:" and selecting ALL buttons.
The three bottom ones have been ticked, but not the first one "Set language information for existing media". Are you sure I have to tick this one as well?
I just want to be sure before hitting start as I've done this before and then I lost a lot of translations.
Hello There,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
You can skip the first option as that can't be ticked. That will be handled by WPML. You can keep the rest of the options selected and click the "Start" button.
This operation will translate and duplicate media images. It can't remove translations from the site. But, if you have experienced some issues previously, it is better to take a backup of the site and database prior to performing this operation.
