Overview of the issue
When using WP User Manager to add custom fields to profiles, you might experience the following issue: options from multi-select custom fields are not translatable in WPML’s String Translation.
Workaround
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
1. Fix the integration plugin (WPUM-WPML)
- Open the …/wp-content/plugins/wpum-wpml/includes/class-wpum-wpml-fields.php file.
- Look for line 20.
- Replace:
add_action( 'update_wpum_field_meta', array( $this, 'update_meta_strings' ), 10, 4 ); - With:
add_action( 'updated_wpum_field_meta', array( $this, 'update_meta_strings' ), 10, 4 ); - After that, go to Users > Custom fields, edit at least one of the multi-select field options, then navigate to WPML > String Translation to translate the values.
2. Fix the front-end output in WP User Manager
- Open the …/wp-content/plugins/wp-user-manager/includes/fields/types/class-wpum-field-multiselect.php file.
- Look for line .
- Replace the entire
get_formatted_output()function with:public function get_formatted_output( $field, $value ) { $stored_field_options = $field->get_meta( 'dropdown_options' ); $stored_options = array(); $stored_index = array(); // Build lookup maps: value => label and value => original index foreach ( $stored_field_options as $key => $stored_option ) { $val = isset( $stored_option['value'] ) ? $stored_option['value'] : $key; $lbl = isset( $stored_option['label'] ) ? $stored_option['label'] : ''; $stored_options[ $val ] = $lbl; $stored_index[ $val ] = $key; } $values = array(); foreach ( $value as $user_stored_value ) { if ( ! isset( $stored_options[ $user_stored_value ] ) ) { continue; } $label = $stored_options[ $user_stored_value ]; // Determine original index for this option so we can match textdomain package $index = isset( $stored_index[ $user_stored_value ] ) ? $stored_index[ $user_stored_value ] : 0; // Translation via WPML. $translated_label = apply_filters( 'wpml_translate_single_string', $label, 'wpum-fields-wpum-field-' . $field->get_ID(), 'wpum-field-dropdown_options_' . $index ); $values[] = $translated_label; } return implode( ', ', $values ); }
