[Resolved] Split: TutorLMS link not translated

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where certain category labels in the dropdown from the [tutor_filter_bar] shortcode are not translating, even though they appear translated in WPML's String Translation, and if clicking on a category in a non-English version redirects to the English version, the issue might be with how the strings are handled in your custom code.
Solution:
First, confirm whether the shortcode has been customized or if there are any theme overrides or custom snippets involved. The issue might stem from hardcoded labels in your functions.php file, which WPML can detect but not properly translate on the frontend. To resolve this, update your code to correctly register and translate the strings using WPML functions. Use 

wpml_register_single_string

to register the strings and 

wpml_translate_single_string

for translation. This adjustment should ensure that the translations display correctly and that the category links lead to the correct language version.

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Hi there!

I checked the code and the problem seems to come from the CSS conditions used to display the mobile navigation menu.

Currently, the menu is only shown on pages that match these body classes:

.page-reading-rewards
.page-id-9301

However, in the translated version of /reading-rewards/, WPML most likely changes the page slug and also uses a different page ID for the translation. Because of this, those CSS selectors no longer match, so the mobile menu is not displayed.

In Amharic, the page slug is the same as the English version, and there is no separate page ID.

So, how should I display it?

For the Dashboard and other pages, I used the English main pages only. When I switch the language to Amharic, the translated content appears automatically.

@media (max-width: 768px) {
.archive.post-type-archive.post-type-archive-courses .mobile-bottom-nav,.logged-in.tutor-screen-frontend-dashboard .mobile-bottom-nav,
.single-courses .mobile-bottom-nav, .page-id-20622 .mobile-bottom-nav,.page-reading-rewards .mobile-bottom-nav, .page-id-9301 .mobile-bottom-nav, .tax-course-category .mobile-bottom-nav{
display: flex;
z-index:9999999999;
}
}

In that case, please go to the page in Amharic and inspect the <body> class to check which page-id appears there.

Even if the slug is the same as the English version, WordPress usually assigns a different page-id for translated pages.

Then you can add that page-id to your CSS condition as well.

Hi there!

I see that they are loading books on hidden link

If the problem persists, are you using some custom code also for that?

Hi there!

Could you please let me know if you are using any custom code related to this?

Also, please share an example of a book that is not appearing. That way, it will be easier for me to investigate the issue further.

I have resolved that

Thank you so much for everything
Can you please kindly check why I don't have language option when I create / edit any course/book in tutor lms pro

Because before using WPML I added amharic and english books and now they are just appearing in english site version

I want to assign Amharic books to Amharic site version

but there is no option for language on the editor

The course builder doesn´t have language option. That depends on the plugin

You need to create courses on default language and the translate to the other languages.

Thank you so much
Lastly

add_filter( 'redux/options/kiddino_opt/option_value/kiddino_footer_select_options', 'kiddino_translate_footer_template_id' );

function kiddino_translate_footer_template_id( $value ) {
if ( is_admin() ) {
return $value;
}

if ( ! empty( $value ) ) {
$translated_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $value, 'elementor_library', true );

if ( ! empty( $translated_id ) ) {
return $translated_id;
}
}

return $value;
}

add_action( 'wp', 'kiddino_fix_page_footer_template_id' );

function kiddino_fix_page_footer_template_id() {
if ( is_admin() ) {
return;
}

if ( ! is_singular() ) {
return;
}

$post_id = get_queried_object_id();

if ( empty( $post_id ) ) {
return;
}

$settings = get_post_meta( $post_id, '_elementor_page_settings', true );

if ( empty( $settings ) || ! is_array( $settings ) ) {
return;
}

if ( ! empty( $settings['kiddino_footer_builder_option'] ) ) {
$translated_id = apply_filters(
'wpml_object_id',
$settings['kiddino_footer_builder_option'],
'elementor_library',
true
);

if ( ! empty( $translated_id ) && $translated_id != $settings['kiddino_footer_builder_option'] ) {
$settings['kiddino_footer_builder_option'] = $translated_id;
update_post_meta( $post_id, '_elementor_page_settings', $settings );
}
}
}

your representative helped me to display header like this
I am trying to display footer in the same way but its not working for me correctly

Like for header when I am using english version , the complete header is in english and same with Amharic but footer is not working like that

I have added footer manually on some pages but I can't add them on tutor lms pages manually so I want to follow the same process like its used for header please

After its working fine
I'll remove manual footer from english and amharic site version

Hi there!

Thank you for the clarification.

It is possible that the footer template ID itself also needs to be translated through WPML String Translation / Admin Texts Translation, especially if the Kiddino theme stores the footer template ID as a Redux option.

Since the header is already working, the footer may simply be using a different option name that still points to the original language template ID.

Could you please check the following?

- Go to WPML → String Translation
- Click on “Translate texts in admin screens”
- Search for:

- kiddino_footer_select_options
- kiddino_footer_builder_option

Then translate the stored Elementor template ID for each language.

Also, please note that the code you shared is custom code. While I can provide general guidance, custom code implementations are outside the scope of our support policy, so we cannot guarantee debugging or customization of the snippet itself.

That said, I suspect the issue is related to how the footer template ID is stored rather than WPML translation itself.
