Background of the issue:
I have set up a multilingual site using the plugin Polylang (first) - now after migration I have the same issue with WPML. Nearly everything is working fine except for the calendar on the new language versions. I am trying to resolve this issue using the documentation provided by MotoPress for translating with WPML.
Symptoms:
The calendar is not working on the German and Italian versions of the site. On the English main site, the calendar shows availability for July and August 2025, but these dates are not open on the German and Italian versions.
Questions:
What can I do to fix the calendar issue on the German and Italian versions of the site?
After setting up a multilingual site using the plugin polylang everything is working fine but the calendar on the new language is not working. Therefore I bought WPML and did a migration to your Plugin - but the problem is still the same...
On the English main-site hidden link it’s working (the month May till end of October 2025 are ready to be booked) but on the German website hidden link the calender all these days are not open?
I think some parameters in the calender are wrong (because of translation) but I haven't found any solution.
Please let me know how I can change this. Thank you very much, Klaus
In order to understand the issue better, can you please explain where are you setting calendar availability for the default language property? Is it on the property post it self or somewhere else?
Hello Drazen,
the calender which is Hotel Booking Calender which is working on the English main-site you can find here hidden link
It’s working (the month May till end of October 2025 are ready to be booked) but on the translated websites German and Italian - the calender is showing different dates and every day (May till end of October 2025 is blocked) ??
Example German: hidden link
Thanks for your help, Klaus
I understand, thanks. But I need more info about the plugin and calendar how it works and how you setup, so I can suggest what might be wrong.
So can you get back to my doubts from the last reply and let me know how you are setting up calendar availability for the default language property. Is it on the property post itself or somewhere else?
The calender settings I can set in the MotoPress Hotel Booking Plugin - but only for the default language.
The translation of the accommodation types is the page where the translated pages are viewable...
- Please backup the site files and database before providing us access.
- If you have a staging site where the problem can be reproduced, it is better to share access to the staging site.
I checked and it seems you have translated it wrongly. I see that you have switched to using WordPress Editor not WPML Editor to translate.
In that case, you need to duplicate first and then translate, I just tried and it show calendar correct: hidden link
I advise deleting to the trash and then from trash your German posts and then re-translating them from English to German as suggested above or using WPML editor.
You should then translate also all other taxonomies, rates and etc from English to German and it should work fine.
Hello Drazen, I tried it for the Glamping Tent - it worked. I tried it for the Airstream - it didn´t worked. I don't know where I did the mistake.
I go to Accommodation Types - I duplicate it - set the language to German and WPML Translation - I publish it.
Is there any mistake? Thanks again...
please delete your previous existing translated post and then re-translate it as explained in the next docs but do not click plus icon, click Duplicate:
Hello Drazen, in my Accommodation Types Trash are 30 different pages now - I think I have tried every possibility to translate but it´s not working. Every time I change the language the booking calender is not working anymore.
Only one time it was working - but I can't replicate it. I don´t find the mistake...
Maybe you can find the mistake and tell me what´s wrong. Thank you, Klaus
