Sand- & Klippstrand Bilväg/Buss + Vandra 200m Inga faciliteter) from the Swedish page doesn't show when I use the translator so where can I in you plugin set up so I can translate this also hidden link

Hi again,
Thank you for your answer but this doesn't work, it doesn't find the strings to translate. I have worked with your plugin for years and I know this ways.
But the problem is really that when you translate a listing to another language. It doesn't pick up some things like the Faciliteter and Plats, as I mention before and I can of course go to the flag in the top menu and change languge and do it but this doesn't work for us because this website going to have a lot of content and different people tranlating so it most work smooth. And one of the biggest reason we choosed Directorist was that it was compatible with WPML
Please login to this sandbox site and upload the Directorist plugin. (hidden link)
After that, please create a listing and translate it to replicate the issue. If the issue is replicable, please let me know the steps to reproduce the issue.
Hi again,
But then I need to install directorist + a lot of other plugins and do my templates etc. Isn't better that you go in to my test website and check how I can pick up this things in the translation?
It's better to replicate the issue on the fresh installation to avoid any plugin conflict, but I can check the issue on your site first to see if it has a quick fix.
I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
– preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible –
in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.
Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.
❌ Please backup your database and website ❌
✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate the Plugins and the Theme and change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is critical.
✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.
Thanks for the access details. I set the following custom fields to be translatable.
_custom-text
_custom-feature-list
After that, the mentioned strings appeared correctly in the translation editor. I tested it on the following listing. (hidden link)
Please update another listing in the default language and translate it to check if the issue is fixed.
If the issue is fixed, please check the following steps to fix it on your live site:
1- Go to WPML-> Settings-> Custom Fields translation section
2- Click "Show system fields"
3- Search for the above fields and set them to "Translate"
4- Save
5- Edit the listing in the default language and update it
6- Update the translation
