Avada - Library Element Type Not Copied During Manual Translation

Overview of the issue

When manually translating an Avada Library Element using the WordPress editor, the element’s type (e.g., « Container ») isn’t carried over to the translated version. Consequently, the translated element is always identified as a Template type.
Duplicating to other languages or translated using the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) don’t present this issue.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full backup of your site before proceeding.

Option 1

• Duplicate the Element first
• Then, edit, translate it independently and change the value.

Option 2

• Open your theme’s functions.php file.
• Add the following code:

  add_action( 'edit_form_top', 'callback__edit_form_top' );
  function callback__edit_form_top( $post ) {;
  	if ($post->post_type == "fusion_element") {
  		$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $post->ID, 'post_'. $post->post_type );
  		$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, 'post_'. $post->post_type );
  		foreach ($translations as $translation) {
  			if ($translation->original == 1){
  				$original = $translation->element_id;
  			}
  		}
  		$originalterms = wp_get_post_terms( $original, 'element_category' );
  		$currenttranslationterms = wp_get_post_terms( $post->ID, 'element_category' );
  		if (empty($currenttranslationterms)) {
  			foreach ($originalterms as $term){
  				wp_set_object_terms( $post->ID, $term->term_id, $term->taxonomy );
  			}
  		}
  	}
  }
  

• Go to Avada > Library.
• Then, open and save your Element first.
• Reload the page and then add the needed elements.
