Problem: The client is experiencing an issue installing WPML in a Bedrock + Composer setup due to the inability to access the official WPML Composer repository at https://packages.wpml.org/packages.json. The error reported is 'curl error 6: Could not resolve host: packages.wpml.org', and DNS resolution for packages.wpml.org fails (NXDOMAIN). Solution: We currently do not support installation or updates of WPML via Composer natively. There is no official or supported method to automatically fetch the latest WPML versions via Composer. However, a suggested workaround is discussed in a forum thread, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/composer-update-to-latest-plugins-versions/. Additionally, you can refer to our errata entry here: https://wpml.org/errata/composer-installation-of-wpml-not-officially-supported-yet/. A third-party project that might help is available at https://github.com/ffraenz/private-composer-installer, where the version can be handled as a placeholder.

Problem: Nach der Migration von Divi 4 auf Divi 5 treten Probleme bei bestehenden Übersetzungsaufträgen auf, einschließlich der Unmöglichkeit, Aufträge zu übersetzen oder zu löschen, sowie 'Critical Errors' bei einigen Übersetzungen. Solution: Die Migration von Divi 4 zu Divi 5 verändert die interne Datenstruktur der Inhalte, wobei Inhalte von verschachtelten Shortcodes zu einem JSON-basierten Format wechseln. Dies kann Probleme bei alten Übersetzungs-Jobs verursachen, die noch auf der alten Shortcode-Struktur basieren. Um diese Probleme zu beheben, empfehlen wir: 1. Versuche, die hängenden Jobs unter WPML > Translation Dashboard > Jobs abzubrechen. 2. Wenn das nicht funktioniert, erstelle neue Übersetzungsaufträge für die betroffenen Inhalte unter WPML > Übersetzungsdashboard. 3. Eine weitere Möglichkeit könnte sein, die originalen Inhalte in Divi zu bearbeiten und erneut zu speichern, um die Struktur zu aktualisieren. Weitere Informationen zur Kompatibilität und Migration findest du hier: https://wpml.org/errata/divi-5-wpml-compatibility-while-new-features-are-being-released/

Problem: The client reported that Google only indexes the English pages of their multilingual site, even when manually indexing other languages. The '/EN/' slug appears despite other languages being set up, and WPML is configured correctly.
Solution: We recommended the following steps to address the issue: 1. Ensure the WPML SEO Add-on is active by checking under Plugins → Installed Plugins. If not present, install and activate it from Plugins → Add New → Commercial tab. 2. Verify the presence and correctness of 'hreflang' tags on translated pages by viewing the page source and searching for 'hreflang'. 3. Check the WPML's Language URL format under WPML → Languages and ensure 'Different languages in directories' is selected. 4. Disable the Browser Language Redirect temporarily under WPML → Languages to avoid confusion during indexing. 5. Re-save permalinks under Settings → Permalinks and re-submit sitemaps in Google Search Console.
Additionally, we advised against using the Browser Language Redirect feature as it does not distinguish between users and search engine bots, which can affect SEO and indexing. This is documented in our guides:
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the information seems outdated, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket.

Problem: The client updated internal links and content in posts, resulting in up to 50% of segments showing an orange bar and being untranslated or needing re-approval. This issue did not occur previously and was suspected to be related to recent server issues. Solution: The issue was due to the site not being properly registered and migrated between different environments (WPML test site, staging site, and production site). The site was moved, creating a new entry instead of copying the existing translation memory. We resolved this by manually merging the translation memory of all site organizations into the current one. The client should now cancel any affected 'In Progress' jobs at WPML > Translation Dashboard > Jobs, and create new jobs for the affected contents at WPML > Translation Dashboard. Assign the translations to yourself and access them at WPML > Translations. We have already applied this solution to the 'Best of Nightlife and Bars in La Spezia' and confirmed a 100% completed translation on ATE. Please verify if the issue is resolved by creating new translation jobs, as changes might not be visible on jobs currently in progress.

Problem: Il cliente ha riscontrato due problemi critici nel sito multilingue: 1. Le variazioni WooCommerce non appaiono nella versione spagnola del sito. 2. I campi personalizzati del plugin Advanced Product Fields for WooCommerce non sono traducibili in WPML. Solution: Per il primo problema, abbiamo suggerito di verificare che i prezzi siano sincronizzati e di utilizzare gli strumenti di "Risoluzione dei problemi" in WooCommerce Multilingual per sincronizzare le variazioni e rigenerare le tabelle di ricerca. Per il secondo problema, abbiamo identificato che il campo _wapf_fieldgroup può essere impostato su 'Copy' per copiare il gruppo di campi nel prodotto tradotto. Tuttavia, i label, le istruzioni e i placeholder dei campi non possono essere tradotti con WPML a causa della loro struttura interna serializzata.
Se questa soluzione non risolve il tuo problema o sembra non essere più attuale, ti consigliamo di aprire un nuovo ticket di supporto. Ti raccomandiamo inoltre di controllare le questioni note e di verificare che tu abbia installato le versioni più recenti dei temi e dei plugin.
