All links in my website are automatically linked to the content in the right language, thanks for that WPML!
But I experience an issue with the link to my woocommerce shop page / or woocommerce categorie page. This always directs to the default language.
I have created a test page with 3 links: hidden link
One link directs to the woo shop page (sometimes goes to the default language shop page, depending on which language you're on)
On link directs to a woo categorie page (sometimes goes to the default language categorie page, depending on which language you're on)
One link directs to a regular page (goes to the correct translated page)
In my experience it is always one link that doesn't direct to the current language, sometimes the shop page, other times the categorie page. They never direct both to the current language.
Thanks for your update. Would you please try the following steps to test if the URLs appear in ATE?
1- Edit this page in the default language. (hidden link)
2- Make a minor edit in the page title and update it
3- Update the Danish translation
4- Using the top left corner search box, search for the shop page URL
5- If you find it, please translate it and update the translation
Thanks for your update. 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 if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
Your next answer will be private, which means only you and I can access it.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason 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 checked the page and found the <!-- wp:paragraph --> tag in the text, so I deleted it. (Kindly check this hidden link)
After that, the URLs appeared correctly in ATE. (Kindly check this hidden link)
Please translate the URLs, clear the cache, and check the issue on the front end.
But this would mean that I would manually need to translate all the links through our website that point to our shop page. And this is 30 languages. This is not workable and will result is faults and broken links. All other links (pages / posts / projects / products) are automatically processed in the correct language. I would expect the same for the shop page.... Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks
This is the workaround for this case, but if this workaround is not suitable for you, please check if the issue persists in a minimal environment by following these steps.
1- Deactivate all the plugins except WPML CMS, String Translation, WooCommerce, and WooCommerce Multilingual.
2- Switch to a WordPress default theme like Twenty Twenty-one.
3- Create a new test page using Gutenberg editor, and translate it.
If the issue is gone, activate them one by one to see which one is causing an interaction issue.
❌ Please backup your database before performing the above test ❌
