Hello,

I am using classic editor for this site and it was working great. Now after this latest updates I am getting some changes for this post category for example.

Just to explain my problem shortly, it's a festival site where all artists have their name, bios, date of performances, links to social media etc. Since most of the things are the same for both languages (date, social media, links etc.) they are set to Copy and in this case only the name of the artist and the main body (content) is been translated. That was working perfectly last year.

Now when I needed to do the same, I added the first artist in macedonia and when I wanted to translate it into English I am getting this title translations even they were not showing last year. I need to know why is this happening, I'm worried about all other sites I have till now, if this is a case here it will happen to other websites I've done with WPML. Is this something to do with the translation option screen I am getting in ACF fields now? (other screenshot)

In ideal scenario for translation I would get only the fields I highlighted in the first screenshot.

Waiting for your response,

Best wishes, Klime.

Hi Klime,

Thank you for contacting WPML support, I'd be happy to help you with this issue.

In the previous version of ACF multilingual (ACFML), we need to use the code to translate the field label in WPML > String Translation and not recommended to translate the field group title. Now they are supported to translate in the WPML Translation Editor if you select the option "Same fields across languages" when editing the field group. Please read more on the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/#translating-labels

If you want to keep using the current settings as the old version, please select the "Expert" option when editing the field group. Please read more on the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/#selecting-a-translation-option

While checking the debug info, I see that the WordPress Memory Limit is below the requirements. The minimum requirements are 128M, but we do recommend 256M and the debug information of your site shows it set to 40M. Please check this link for more details
https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/.
You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file, right before the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:


define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );
define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );

After adding the code you can confirm that the memory was changed correctly from WPML > Support > WordPress > Memory limit.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks
