[Waiting for user feedback] Edit Loop Grid not picking up translation for Alternative Template
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
Elementor users - please update WPML to the latest version to maintain compatibility. More details here - https://wpml.org/changelog/2024/12/wpml-4-6-15-critical-update-for-elementor-sites/
Background of the issue:
I am trying to have the translation for the MAIN Loop Grid template and the ALTERNATIVE Loop Grid template, but only the Main loop grid shows the translations. I have cleared the WordPress and Server cache, re-saved the translations to display the Pencil icon, and added the same translations to the String Translation to try to override it. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link
Symptoms:
The translation for the ALTERNATIVE Loop Grid template is not being picked up. Instead of seeing 'Nos Services' and 'Voir le service', I see 'Our Services' and 'View Service'.
Questions:
Why is the ALTERNATIVE Loop Grid template not showing the translation?
How can I ensure the ALTERNATIVE Loop Grid template displays the correct translation?
Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.
I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.
Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.
✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.
Thanks for the access details. I edited the French services archive using Elementor and selected the translated Alt template. (Kindly check the attached screenshot)
Please check the hidden link">services page on the front end and let me know if it works correctly.
