Woodmart Theme swatches

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

Problem:
The client was experiencing an issue where color and image swatches were not synchronizing in the second language, and they had to add the colors and image swatches in English as well.
Solution:
We recommended the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Navigate to WPML -> Settings -> Custom Term Meta Translation section.
2. Set the fields (color, image, and not_dropdown) to copy.
3. Update the attribute to copy the values.
4. Check the translated product.
We also provided a video to demonstrate the steps (https://files.fm/f/63eahyjht).
These steps were applied to a sandbox site and resolved the issue. We asked the client to check the product on the sandbox site to confirm if the solution works correctly (https://rare-furruco.sandbox.otgs.work/el/product/henectus-tincidunt/).

Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues (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 needed, do not hesitate to open a new support ticket for further assistance.

triantafyllosV	Tell us what you are trying to do? The color and image swatches do not sync in second language. We had to add the colors and the images swatches in english too. Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? hidden link

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today. 1) First of all, sorry for the late reply due to a higher workload. Kindly go to WooCoomece Multilingual-> Status-> Troubleshooting, and run the troubleshooting function. (Kindly check the attached screenshot) After that, please clear your cache and check the front end. Would you please let me know if these steps helped you fix the issue? 2) It's not related to the issue, but according to your Debug.info, the WP memory limit needs to be increased. PHP memory is fine, but WordPress uses 40Mb as default. Minimum requirements for WPML are 128Mb. (Kindly check this page https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/) Add this to the top of wp-config.php to increase WP memory: /** Memory Limit */ define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M'); define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); Thanks for your cooperation and patience Regards, Osama

triantafyllosV	1. The troubleshooting did not work. We had to enable swatches in the english version of each term in attributes. 2.We raised the limit to 256M.

triantafyllosV	Hi again, it wasn't a workaround. What we enter in greek, should be syncing to the english translation. The swatches (images, colors...) do not display in the english translation. We have to go to each term and enter the image or color and check the box "enable swatches", although they are enabled in greek.

triantafyllosV	Hi, This solved the problem. Thank you very much!
February 9, 2022 at 11:36 am #10541093
triantafyllosV	I'm back for one more question. Will the translations added from now on sync automatically or do we need to update each term in english everytime we add a new one?

Osama Mersal Supporter Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+02:00)	Hi, After these steps, the terms should be synced automatically. For testing, after the steps, please create a test term and test product to check it. I recommend testing on the sandbox site not to affect your site. Regards, Osama

triantafyllosV	Yes, it works perfectly well.
