Custom Work

Problem:
The client is experiencing a timeout issue when trying to automatically duplicate job listings to the default language using custom code from the WPML forums. Despite disabling unnecessary plugins and checking the debug log, the timeout persists.
Solution:
We recommend using the bulk 'duplicate' feature in WPML for duplicating posts from a secondary language to the default language. This can be done by navigating to WPML->Translation Management, filtering for the posts created in the secondary language, and performing a batch duplication to the default language. If custom code is necessary, we suggest modifying the existing code to prevent duplicate function calls and ensure it targets the specific needs of the site. Here is an example modification:

add_action('wp_insert_post', 'my_duplicate_on_publishh');<br />function my_duplicate_on_publishh($post_id) {<br />    if (get_post_meta($post_id, '_duplicate_processed', true)) {<br />        return;<br />    }<br />    $post = get_post($post_id);<br />    if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;<br />    if (isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type === 'revision') return;<br />    if (isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type === 'job_listing') {<br />        remove_action('wp_insert_post', 'my_duplicate_on_publishh');<br />        $is_translated = apply_filters('wpml_element_has_translations', '', $post_id, $post->post_type);<br />        if (!$is_translated) {<br />            error_log("Creating duplicates for post ID: $post_id");<br />            do_action('wpml_admin_make_post_duplicates', $post_id);<br />            update_post_meta($post_id, '_duplicate_processed', true);<br />        }<br />        add_action('wp_insert_post', 'my_duplicate_on_publishh');<br />    }<br />}

Ensure that listings are set to 'translatable' in WPML->Settings. If further customization is needed, consider hiring a specialized developer with WPML experience from https://wpml.org/contractors/.

Problem:
The client wants to modify the batch name on their site using functions.php but is unsure if there is a WPML hook available for this purpose.
Solution:
We reviewed the client's request and confirmed that there is no existing WPML hook that allows modification of the batch name directly from functions.php. This task requires custom development, which is outside the scope of our support.

If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket.
