Skip to content Skip to sidebar

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
You are experiencing an issue where the product category page displays a sidebar in the translated language, but not in the main language.
Solution:
1. Verify if the product categories are using a template and ensure this template is translated via WPML. Follow the guide on creating multilingual websites using the Woodmart theme and WPML: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/create-multilingual-websites-using-woodmart-theme-and-wpml/
2. Increase the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB. You can add the following code to your wp-config.php file:

/* Memory Limit */<br />define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */
You can check the current WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support.

If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If needed, please open a new support ticket for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to ensure that the product category page on my site, hidden link, displays correctly in all languages. I am using WPML for translation.

Symptoms:
The product category page is showing a sidebar in the translated language, but the main language does not have the sidebar.

Questions:
Why is the sidebar appearing on the translated product category page when it is not present in the main language?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- I kindly ask you to check if the product categories are using a template, and if this template is translated via WPML -> Translation Management as described in this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/create-multilingual-websites-using-woodmart-theme-and-wpml/

2.- Please increase the WP memory Limit. Minimum requirements are 128Mb: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/
You can add this to wp-config.php to increase WP memory:`

/* Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

- Add it above the line /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

You can double-check the WordPress memory limit in WPML -> Support

Regards,
Carlos
