Hello!
Will this work without causing any issues?
// --- WPML: Sync post status across all translations ---
// When a post/page/CPT in the default language changes status (publish, draft, trash, private, pending),
// all its translations are updated to match. Works for ALL post types with WPML translation enabled.
// Only syncs FROM the default language TO translations (not the reverse).
