I'm using ACF and I'm confused why my content has not transferred over between language settings or if I need to manually add my social media links in both places.
All my tabs say "This field is locked for editing because WPML will copy its value from the original language." - but I think this only applies to the tab itself, not the content in the tab.
My "Code Placement" tab has my GA in it but its only there for English as well. I need to know if I need to reproduce this content for every language translation?
If the translation preferences of all the custom fields on your Options page are set to Copy, you need to manually save this setting on your secondary language page(s). This is expected behavior.
To do this:
- From your dashboard, go to Options and use the language switcher in the top admin bar to switch to a secondary language.
- Click on the Update button in the Publish tab.
- Repeat the steps above for your remaining secondary languages.
