You are experiencing issues with the Header and Footer not translating correctly on your production site when using Transperfect/GlobalLink/Translation.com. The elements are showing incorrect language tags and the translations are not appearing as expected.
Solution:
We discovered that all the templates, patterns, blocks, and template part translations were set as drafts, which caused the translation errors. To resolve this, you can use the following custom code snippet to publish all these draft items:
function publish_all_custom_post_types() {
$post_types = ['wp_block', 'wp_template', 'wp_template_part', 'wp_navigation']; // List of post types to update
foreach ($post_types as $post_type) {
$args = array(
'post_type' => $post_type,
'post_status' => 'draft',
'posts_per_page' => -1, // Get all drafts
);
$draft_posts = get_posts($args);
if (!empty($draft_posts)) {
foreach ($draft_posts as $post) {
wp_update_post(array(
'ID' => $post->ID,
'post_status' => 'publish',
));
}
}
}
}
// Run the function automatically in the admin area
add_action('init', function() {
if (is_admin() && current_user_can('manage_options')) {
publish_all_custom_post_types();
}
});
We recommend using this code once and then removing it. Please ensure to perform this operation after taking a full backup of your site.
