[Resolved] Php warning on secondary language when Kadence plugins are activated

Hello!

Could you install the plugins you mentioned above, in this sandbox? --> hidden link

I have installed WPML but it' not setup yet. can you just install the plugins and let me know? i'll setup WPML and try to see if i can recreate the problem from scratch.

thanks in advance.

Can you please tell me where exactly do you see the problem?

I have here 2 posts (one for each language) with kadence and translated with the translation editor:

- hidden link
- hidden link

And i don't see any error in the back-end or in the front-end

Can you check the sandbox and see if you can see it anywhere? then let me know so i can better understand what to do next (the debug log is enabled and so DEBUG display).

I checked teh back-end as well, the front-end links were just to let you know which posts i had translated.

and i see no problem there either: hidden link

you mention that you duplicated the content but there is nothing either duplicated or translated on that page you used a screenshot on.

---------------

Would it be possible to have a quick video on how you actually get to the error and maybe allow me access to the site? or better yet check if there's something missing in the sandbox site and create it and see if the problem appears there?

It seems the problem you're having is because there's content missing in some of the files that String Translation is trying to read, probably from kadence, but it's not happening on the sandbox site which tells me the problem could be specific to your site, in case the steps taken in the sandbox are correct.

Ok, so now we have to investigate what the problem is in your site that could be creating the problem.

Would it be possible for you to create a staging site and see if the problem happens there as well? if it does, can you see if the problem happens with just WPML + String Translation (all the other plugins disabled) and with a default theme active like twentytwenty four, so we can try to isolate the problem?

If that make the problem disappear, start by enabling the theme and check the problem. if that still doesn't show the problem, then start by activating the plugins. i'm saying this because maybe it has to do with Kadence, but it could be with the theme or some of its plugins.

And i'm asking you to do it on a staging site just so we can make sure the same issue happens there as well and we can investigate there without risk on your production site.

afterward, you can allow me access to the staging site (your osting can probably help you create a staging site, in case you don't know how to create one. or you can use a plugin like wp staging to do it easily).

These are the exact plugins that create the problem: hidden link

in particular is between something in the kadence pro plugin alone and String Translation and it's happenign because something in the plugin's code is not reaching us as expected.

Would you leave the staging site available and as it is right now while one of our devs can try to figure out where exactly the problem is?

In theory what's happening is that there's a string that doesn't contain everything that is needed to be printed correctly. it shouldn't affect your site when it comes to SEO, performance, etc but it may end up with one part of a phrase that would not be translated in the translated languages.
