[Resolved] Post deletion documentation, when what?

Problem:

The client was experiencing issues with the WPML setting 'When deleting a post, delete translations as well' not functioning correctly for duplicated posts when deleted from the frontend. The main post would be deleted, but its duplicates would remain.

Solution:

We recommended the following steps after ensuring a full site backup:

1) Navigate to the

/wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/includes/

folder.
2) Open the

class-job-dashboard-shortcode.php

file for editing.
3) Locate line number 466 and replace the existing code with:

From

case 'delete':
// Trash it.
wp_trash_post( $job_id );

To

				case 'delete':
					// Trash it.
					// WPML workaround for compsupp-7729
					$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $job_id , 'post_job_listing' );
					$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, 'job_listing' );
					if ( !empty( $translations ) ) {
						foreach ( $translations as $lang => $translation ) {
							$translation_id = absint( $translation->element_id );
							wp_trash_post( $translation_id );
						}
					}

This code ensures that when a job post is deleted from the frontend, all its translations are also trashed, regardless of the WPML setting.
