I have a Custom post type "anbieter" with a custom Taxonomy "anbieter_tag".

WPML -> Settings -> Taxonomies stays on Translatable (use translation if available or fallback to default language).

I did translate all taxonomies with the WPML -> Taxonomy translation.

BUT: The anbieter posts in DE have the Taxonomies, I can save it, but the french translation has no taxonomies at all. I can add a new in german, but in french its not stored. How can I sync it, that de/fr has always the same taxonomies added?

I cant find that "keep it synced" option anymore. Where can I find it? Or do I need to sync it myself with an hook?

Hi there,

I will add the first reply before this ticket is assigned to one of my colleagues.

If you create the taxonomy and then translate it and you assign the taxonomy terms after the translation everything should be synched.

But if you already had terms assigned from a taxonomy that is not translated, and then translate it you need to sync them.

- IMPORTANT STEP! Create a backup of your website. Or better approach will be to test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website.

- Go to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting > Synchronise post taxonomies (select the post type that applies).

Thanks.
