[Resolved] WPML correct menu is unable to save for WP Responsive Menu plugin
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client reported that a responsive menu plugin was compatible with WPML, but only one deleted menu (menu 1) was working correctly in both languages. The other menus were not accessible from wp-admin and were not being called by WPML when switching languages. Solution: First, we advised the client to modify a line of code in the responsive menu plugin:
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend trying the steps above. However, please note that the solution might be outdated or not applicable to your case. If the problem persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket with us.
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
Everyone can read, but only WPML clients can post here. WPML team is replying on the forum 6 days per week, 22 hours per day.
I’ve installed WPML in a development server and constructed a site. The transition of the pages in two languages is working perfectly, the same happens with the menu. I have a problem though with the mobile responsive menu. I use the WP Responsive Menu plugin.
I created a menu (Menu 1) in two languages and the plugin was working properly. I deleted this menu by mistake and created a new menu (SOUTHSTAR.GR) for both languages. Since then, although the menu in the first language is working properly in the mobile, when I change language the menu is not showing. The site is hidden link
I contacted the plugin and gave them access to investigate if there is a problem with them and they replied “As per the WPML correct menu is unable to save that's why the issue is happening. It should automatically save the en language. But it is not saving.”
Thanks for reaching us. Before we investigate this further, kindly update all WPML plugins to the latest version also, I have observed that the PHP limit for your "WP Memory Limit" is lower than the recommended 256MB or the required 128MB, as mentioned in the documentation found at: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/. To resolve this, I kindly request that you contact your hosting provider and request an increase in the PHP value for you.
Once it's updated and the PHP limit is increased, retest to see if it works correctly.
Thanks for your reply. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.
Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.
Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.
✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
It looks like the WP Responsive Menu plugin is not compatible with WPML as it is not listed here https://wpml.org/plugin/ .
I recommend that you get in touch with the support team/developers of that plugin and ask them if the plugin is compatible with WPML.
If the plugin is not compatible, I'd recommend that they join our 'Go Global' program (https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/) where our Compatibility developers will help them make their product 100% compatible with WPML for free.
I have contacted them and they responded that they are compatible. And indeed their menu works with your plugin. But only with the deleted menu (menu 1) not with the rest. And when I pointed out that to them, as I did in my note to you, they replied that wpml cannot save the rest menus in order for the plugin to work properly. Check now that I have set the deleted menu as the reposnsive menu to see that it works in both languages.
The problem is that the deleted menu is unaccessible from the wp-admin and the rest menus are not being called by wpml when i change language.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but in order to proceed with troubleshooting, we kindly request a site snapshot. Alternatively, with your permission, we can create a snapshot on our own.
For this purpose, we typically recommend using the free plugin "Duplicator." If you are already familiar with how Duplicator works ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), please skip the following steps and simply send me the archive file you downloaded.
To assist you further, please follow these instructions:
Watch the Duplicator instructions video: hidden link
If the archive file exceeds 400MB in size, please utilize Duplicator's file filters to exclude the cache, wp-uploads directory, media, and archive files.
Once you have the archive file, please share the link with us. You can use services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar platforms as the snapshot file will likely be large.
Please note that your next reply will be private, visible only to you and me. You can paste the link to the file there. Rest assured that once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local site.
Did you sort it out on your own? because when I check on the mobile screen size, the English language menu shows up as shown in the attached screenshot.
