Themify Ultra – Issue translating the ALT text for the Feature Content module

Overview of the issue

When translating a page using WPML with the Feature Content module in the Themify Ultra theme, the ALT text for images are not translated on the front-end.

Workaround

Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.

• Open the …/wp-content/themes/themify-ultra/themify/themify-builder/classes/class-themify-builder-model.php file.
• Look for line 357.
• Replace:

      public static function get_alt_by_url(string $image_url):string {
          $attachment_id = themify_get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
          if ($attachment_id && ($alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true))) {
              return $alt;
          }
          return '';
      }
          

• With:

      public static function get_alt_by_url(string $image_url):string {
          $attachment_id = themify_get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
          // WPML Workaround for wpmlsupp-12600
          if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) { 
              $current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL ); 
              $attachment_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'post', TRUE, $current_lang ); 
          }
          if ($attachment_id && ($alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true))) {
              return $alt;
          }
          return '';
      }
