Regarding the first issue, can you please explain to me how the field is added to the English version?
If you can add screenshots and/or a recording showing this and how you translate the content of the field that would also help me.
Let me answer your questions first, then address the issue.
1 - The WPML -> Settings -> Custom Fields Translation lock icon:
ACF Multilingual enables you to configure the translation preference ("Don't translate", "Copy", "Copy once", "Translate"), for each custom fields. You can do that by manually setting the translation preference for each field you create, or by setting a "translation option" for the field group. The translation option will configure the translation preference for each field in the group, according to the type of the field.
In your case, you have "Same fields across languages" selected in the "Visit Option" field group. Thus, it is using the preconfigured translation preference for each field, and if you want to be able to manually set it you need to change the translation option to "Expert". https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/recommended-custom-fields-translation-preferences-for-acf-and-wpml/
Now, regarding the issues:
1 - The missing "Visit More" articles":
Yes, this is probably related to the WPML -> Settings -> Post Types Translation setting. Please try setting it to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language"
2 - Missing field from frontend:
Here, I believe the reason is that the page is not translated fully, thus not updating the actual translation on your site. WPML's Advanced Translation Editor will save in-progress translations, so you can start, take a break, and finish them without losing translations, but it won't save them until you complete the translation. Please try to finish the entire translation, then check if the field appears
Here's my follow up questions, and question you missed in my last post:-
1. Custom post field label translation
2. Custom post page doesn't show any translated post items after switching language,
3. Duplicate posts -> in the original language (eng), the eng and chi posts both shows.
4. Font size for translated language.

Looking forward to your reply.
New threads created by Eran Helzer and linked to this one are listed below:
Please make sure to have a working backup of your site before proceeding.
After you implement the suggested solutions, I would like to take a look and see if I can the spot the reason for the font issue, and the ajax if this doesn't resolve it.
I have set your next reply to be private so you can share credentials there.
Remember that it is always better to create a new admin user for me, then when we are done you can delete it.
1. After looking at how Visits are configured and created, I understood that the fields on the frontend are not the ACF fields. For example, "Address" is a combination of "Address Street Name" "Address Country" and "Address Postal Code".
Thus, I concluded that the "Address" string is coming from the theme itself.
I tried to use the FTP credentials you provided to take a look at the theme files, but it didn't work. I installed the "File Manager" plugin instead.
What I saw is that the field titles themselves were not registered for translation. I edited the file to register the "Address" string.
From:
Then, I rescanned the theme using WPML -> Theme and plugins localization, translated the text using String Translation, and now the Chinese version is translated ("Address CH")
Please take a look: hidden link
What you need to do is the same for the rest of the field titles, rescan the theme and translated them.
2. + 3. Here I looked at your function-ajax.php. It looks like you are not filtering based on language at all. Since this is custom code, you need to do the post language filtering yourself. One way I can think of is filtering the posts using the "wpml_post_language_details" along with the "wpml_current_language" hooks. Please take a look at our documentation here on how to use it: https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_post_language_details/ https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_current_language/
I will also ask the 2nd tier and confirm this for you.
4. Let's handle the others first, then get to this
I now understand that the issues are coming from custom code. This is outside of our support policy, so we can not take responsibility for any of the code or the suggested solutions. I will, of course, do my best to help, but please take this into account.
Regarding 2, now it is a matter of debugging. With the "suppress_filters" the language filtering should have solved this.
I suggest you debug this, somewhere in the request an argument is being provided that causes none of the posts to return. I would suggest you go by elimination, removing arguments from the get_posts call until something is returned, then you'll know what the problematic filter was.
Regarding issue 4, I would prefer to split it into a new ticket. It is our policy to keep it to one issue per ticket, that way everything is organized and clear.
