Problem:
Updating an old WPML plugin to the latest version

Solution:

1. Different versions of WPML can be downloaded from this link here, under your WPML.org account - https://wpml.org/download/wpml-multilingual-cms/?section=changelog

2. Please make sure that you first create a full website backup so that you are safe no matter what happens.

3. The oldest version you are able to download from that link is "3.8.3". After that, I recommend that you update to each new major version (3.9, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3).

You can also try to create a full website backup first and then update to the latest version and see what happens - it there's gonna be serious errors and not simple notifications, then please update gradually.

Problem:

Enfold- Icon Grid widget strings are not shown for translation in WPML's Translation Editor.

Solution:

1. Go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration (tab).

2. Insert this code.

<wpml-config>
    <shortcodes>
        <shortcode>
            <tag>av_icongrid_item</tag>
            <attributes>
                <attribute>title</attribute>
                <attribute>subtitle</attribute>
                <attribute type="link" encoding="av_link">link</attribute>
            </attributes>
        </shortcode>
    </shortcodes>
</wpml-config>

3. Save the changes.

4. Go to the editing screen of the page/post where the Icon Grid is inserted and update it.

5. Translate the page with the Translation Editor, and you will have the option to translate the Icon Grid texts.
