Reported for: WPForms Multilingual 0.5.0
Resolved in: WPForms Multilingual 0.5.1
Overview of the issue
After updating to WPForms 1.10.0.5, translated values from multilingual choice fields such as:
- Multiple Choice
- Checkboxes
- Dropdowns
- GDPR Checkbox fields
may fail validation when submitted on translated forms. As a result, forms may not submit correctly
This happens because WPForms introduced stricter validation for submitted choice values.
Workaround
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open your functions.php file.
- Add the following code:
add_filter( 'wpforms_field_choices_allow_unknown_value', '__return_true' );
Hello,
We found another issue that seems related to WPML/taxonomies.
When trying to add a new WooCommerce product category from Products → Categories, WordPress shows the error:
“Empty Term.”
This happens even with a simple category name/slug, and it also happens when trying to duplicate an existing product category.
We already tested:
* WPML String Translation disabled
* WooCommerce Multilingual disabled
* WoodMart Core disabled
* WPML troubleshooting actions: Set language information, Fix terms count, Synchronize post taxonomies, Clear WPML cache
The issue still happens.
Can you please check the WPML taxonomy/term tables and WooCommerce product_cat language data? It looks like product category creation is being blocked or corrupted by taxonomy/language handling.
Thanks.
