Please make sure to delete all field groups from the German and Italian versions completely. Simply disabling them won’t be enough—please remove them from the trash as well. Once they are deleted, go to: Then, set the following options: - Options Pages (acf-ui-options-page) Set both to "Not translatable," as we should have only one version of each field group. Regarding the missing data, I see that these fields are now empty. Unfortunately, due to improper translation settings for both the field groups and theme options, I can't determine when they were deleted. At this point, the only options are to manually re-create and translate them, or if possible, restore the website to a previous state before these changes were made. This would allow us to review the setup and update our plugins in a testing environment. |

I get "Error: The username support is not registered on this site" again. Can you recreate this user? |

I've managed to save theme settings in secondary language eventually. But still, when I'm looking at theme settings in secondary language I see values of default language (in the site pages I see correct values), and then if I save it the default language values will be saved! what can I do? Another thing: when duplicating a post to another language I want the permalink to be like the default language. I added logic in save_post to make the url use only the beginning of the title, until the first space. In default language it's like that, but when duplicating - it creates the link out of the whole title. how can I make it use the same permalink like the default language? |

Can you show me an example of this?
Screenshots would help. For the second question, did you consider something like this: so e.g. function custom_wpml_set_duplicate_permalink($post_id) { // Ensure we're not in an autosave routine if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) { return; } // Check if this is a WPML duplicate $is_duplicate = get_post_meta($post_id, '_wpml_duplicate', true); if (!$is_duplicate) { return; } // Get the original post ID $original_post_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $post_id, get_post_type($post_id), false, wpml_get_default_language()); if (!$original_post_id) { return; } // Get the original post's slug $original_post = get_post($original_post_id); $original_slug = $original_post->post_name; if ($original_slug) { // Update the duplicated post's slug to match the original remove_action('save_post', 'custom_wpml_set_duplicate_permalink'); // Prevent infinite loop wp_update_post([ 'ID' => $post_id, 'post_name' => $original_slug ]); add_action('save_post', 'custom_wpml_set_duplicate_permalink'); // Re-add after update } } add_action('save_post', 'custom_wpml_set_duplicate_permalink'); I haven't tested this though and if the above does not work, we can cover it (for our support rules) in another ticket. |

thanks. In the image I attached you can see theme settings in Italian, but the values are of the default language (english). If I change a value to italian and update I still see the english value. when I look at the db I see that the italian value exists, but after saving all the other fields got the defult english value back. I'll try your solution for the second issue and update here... |

about the second issue - I've already tried that, and now tried again. The post_name updates, but the permalink, the url of the product, stays the same, and not getting the english one. I also tried adding flush_rewrite_rules();, but it didn't help.

The theme setting not being translated is solved. I still have another unsolved issue - the permalink of a translated post, here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/split-theme-settings-not-working-after-wpml-update/ |
