Hey, Since one of your latest updates, our users stopped being able to translate pages. Now we need to assign them as translators and configure their language pairs for them to be able to translate. We cannot afford this. Reading into your code we see now you are using the function is_translator_filter directly, so we cannot filter it through wordpress core filter functionality, and there is not capability or role to let a user translate everypage independent from language. We need our users of a given role to be able to translate every page without manual configuration into the wpml panel. Do you have any functionality for this? Planning on implemet some? Looking into your older tickets and support you suggest to use your is_translator_filter filter, but since the last updates, now you are calling the function directly and we cannot hook into it properly to bypass the language pairs properly. Thanks! |

Thank you for replicating the issue on fresh WP site. It appears the problem occurs when updating the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin from version 4.6.6 to 4.6.7 Could you please confirm the steps you followed to replicate the issue: 1. Added custom code in the functions.php file from line #660 to 776 2. Created a user with the custom role “Mirai Front” 3. Logged in as that user and translated a page without adding them as a translator. Please let me know if I missed any step. Thank you |

Thanks for confirmation, I am trying couple of workarounds to see if we can make it work with the current code. I need bit more time to try it out, I will update you today with my findings, if the fix does not work then I will escalate it. Thank you for your cooperation and patience. |

Sorry for having issues accessing that ticket. The steps are as follows: 1. Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/vendor/wpml/wp/classes/User.php 2. Replace the following code (line 222): return self::hasCap( self::CAP_ADMINISTRATOR, $user ); With: return self::hasCap('manage_options', $user); And see if this resolves your issue. Thank you |

Hi Noman, yes it works, but I have a question, it is a issue that you have or it is a fix just for me, because I don´t want to hack your plugin code and I will have to put this code every time when I update your plugin. Thanks. |

Yes that makes sense. I have escalated this issue to our 2nd tier support team for further review and I will keep you updated as soon as I receive feedback from their end. Thank you |

Our 2nd tier said, that change was required and now, users can't add or edit translations unless they are set up as translators and have their language pairs configured correctly: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/how-to-set-up-local-translators-and-language-pairs/ So, either use the workaround that we shared in the previous reply or update your code and assign the language pairs to the users programmatically (e.g. the user can translate from EN to ES or FR) You may review the below file, how we manage the language pairs and update your code accordingly: wp-content\plugins\sitepress-multilingual-cms\classes\language\class-wpml-language-pair-records.php If you need help with custom code, I would suggest you consider contacting one of our certified partners from this link: http://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-contractors/ You will get the custom assistance you need to get on with your project. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you |

I want to clarify that the default behavior of WPML requires users to be set up as translators in WPML >> Translation Management >> Translators with correct language pairs. Your site is using below custom code in the theme's functions.php file to modify WPML's default behavior: function set_editor_permissions() { $editor = get_role('editor'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_translation_management'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_translation_options'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_wp_menus_sync'); $editor-\>add_cap('manage_wpml_packages'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_languages'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_taxonomy_translation'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_wp_menus_sync'); $editor-\>add_cap('wpml_manage_navigation'); } add_action('admin_init', 'set_editor_permissions'); function remove_wmpl_rest_url_filter() { mi_remove_filter('rest_url', 'convertRestUrl'); } add_action( 'admin_init', 'remove_wmpl_rest_url_filter' ); function mi_remove_filter($tag, $function_name, $priority = 10){ global $wp_filter; if( isset($wp_filter[$tag]->callbacks[$priority]) and !empty($wp_filter[$tag]->callbacks[$priority]) ){ $wp_filter[$tag]->callbacks[$priority] = array_filter($wp_filter[$tag]->callbacks[$priority], function($v, $k) use ($function_name){ return ( stripos($k, $function_name) === false ); }, ARRAY_FILTER_USE_BOTH ); } } remove_role('mirai_front'); add_role( 'mirai_front', __( 'Mirai Front' ), array( //Basics 'read' =\> true, // Show admin dashboard //Sites 'manage_network' => true, // Allow the access to the network dashboard 'manage_sites' => true, // Give access to 'sites' tab of the network dashboard 'mi_see_settings' => true, // Custom capability: been able to see options tab //Posts 'create_posts' => true, // Crear un post 'edit_others_posts' => true, // Editar un post 'edit_posts' => true, // Editar un post 'edit_private_posts' => true, // Editar un post 'read_private_posts' => true, //Editar un post 'edit_published_posts' => true, // Editar un post 'publish_posts' => true, //Publicar un post 'delete_others_posts' => true, //Eliminar un post 'delete_posts' => true, //Eliminar un post 'delete_published_posts' => true, //Eliminar un post 'delete_private_posts' => true, //Eliminar un post privado //Páginas 'edit_pages' => true, //Crear una página 'create_pages' => true, //Crear una página 'publish_pages' => true, //Crear una página 'edit_private_pages' => true, //Editar una página 'read_private_pages' => true, //Editar una página 'edit_published_pages' => true, //Editar una página 'edit_others_pages' => true, //Editar una página 'delete_others_pages' => true, //Eliminar páginas 'delete_pages' => true, //Eliminar páginas 'delete_private_pages' => true, //Eliminar páginas 'delete_published_pages' => true, //Eliminar páginas //Elementor 'manage_elementor_templates' => true, // Access to elementor templates 'manage_options' => true, // Needed to see elementor and essential addons tab.

However, with the recent changes, users must have language pairs configured to edit translations. To resolve this issue: 1. Update your code to assign correct language pairs programmatically. This ensures users can continue translating without manual setup. 2. I understand this may be difficult for you. I've included your case in our existing feature request to expedite its resolution. Please note, the feature request is currently under discussion, and we can't provide an ETA. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you |
