Problem: You are working on a multilingual WordPress site using WPML and trying to adjust the author_base URL slug based on the user's language. You want different slugs for each supported language (English, Spanish, German, Dutch). However, changing author_base requires flushing the rewrite rules, which sets it for all languages until it is saved again in another language.
Solution: We recommend using the wpml_current_language filter to dynamically fetch the current language. Implement this by replacing your current language detection with:
1
apply_filters('wpml_current_language', NULL);
Ensure to flush rewrite rules only when necessary to minimize performance impact. This can be done by checking if the current language setting has changed compared to the last saved setting in the WordPress options. If they match, there is no need to flush the rewrite rules. If they do not match, update the

author_base
, flush the rewrite rules, and update the saved option to reflect the new current language.
If this solution does not fully address your issue or seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket.
Problem: The client is unable to reschedule the translation of an unpublished post because the date is locked and indicates that it's a copy of the original. Solution: We recommend unchecking the "Copy publishing date to translations" option. You can find this setting by navigating to WPML >> Settings. Once you uncheck this option, you should be able to change the publishing date of the translation independently from the original post.
If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it's outdated, we suggest opening a new support ticket. We also 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 need further assistance, please contact us in the WPML support forum.
