Problem: When I publish the product in English, the Greek version does not get published. When I go to the Greek version of the product to publish it (make it public) manually, the option is locked and it remains private.
Solution: I'm afraid that this is in fact a known bug of WPML (it also happens with posts). As a workaround you could:
1- Go to WooCommerce>WooCommerce Multilingual>Products
2- Click the pencil icon to edit the translation of your product (the one with incorrect visibility status)
3- Mark the translation as finished and save it
Once done, the visibility status should be synchronized with the original product.
Problem: I updated my plugins for Woocommerce and WPML and then my site crashed. I get the message: "Fatal error: Can't use function return value in write context in /home/dealicious/public_html/wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-multilingual/inc/class-wcml-install.php on line 79". I cannot even access my wp-admin!
Problem: Product properties do not get propagated properly in translated products.
Solution: 1. Go to WPML -> Translation Management -> Multilingual Content Setup. 2. Scroll down to "Custom Field Translation" section. 3. There you'll see a list of all the custom fields registered on your site. You should find there all the fields that are not propagated on secondary language translations. Search for all of them and specify the translation option for each one (selecting the appropriate option next to each field).. 4- Click 'Save' button at the bottom of the section.
