Bug

Problem:

The client is experiencing issues with ACF field group labels still appearing in WPML > Translation Management despite using the define('ACFML_EXCLUDE_FIELD_GROUP_STRINGS_IN_POST_JOBS', true); setting.

Solution:

The constant *ACFML_EXCLUDE_FIELD_GROUP_STRINGS_IN_POST_JOBS* just prevents new occurrences of ACF Field Groups listing for translation in WPML Translation Management Dashboard.

So we recommend adding the following code to your functions.php file, ensuring you take a full backup before making changes:

/**
 * Exclude the ACF field group section on the Translation Management Dashboard.
 *
 * @see https://onthegosystems.myjetbrains.com/youtrack/issue/acfml-990
 */
 
add_filter( 'wpml_tm_dashboard_item_sections', function( $sections ) {
    /** @var \WPML\UserInterface\Web\Core\Component\Dashboard\Application\ViewModel\ItemSection[] $sections */
    return array_filter(
                $sections,
                function( $section ) {
                    return $section->getId() !== 'stringPackage/acf-field-group' && $section->getId() !== 'stringPackage/acf-options-page-labels';
                }
            );
} );

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where WPML deletes image files from the server, particularly large images that WordPress scales (creating a file with a -scaled suffix), here's what might be happening. This issue occurs when you upload a large image (over 2560px) to the default language, and either delete the image from a secondary language or remove a language from the settings screen, which also removes leftover content. This results in the deletion of generated media files from the server, breaking the media library in the default language.
Solution:
We recommend updating to WPML version 4.7.2 or later, as this issue has been addressed in these later versions. If you're still facing this problem after updating, it might be due to other factors. In such cases, please check the related known issues, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

If the solution provided here does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket. You can do so by visiting the WPML support forum.

Problem:
The client was experiencing issues with translated page lists returning empty and missing menus in the translated navigation. The expected submenu and page list were not appearing, and instead, there was an absence of these elements.
Solution:
We identified two separate issues. For the navigation menu problem, we found that the pages were not correctly added as parent/child in the Pages section. After adding them and re-translating the templates via WPML > Translation Management, the navigation displayed correctly. For the page list block inside a content template, it was determined to be a bug. The temporary workaround involved manually adjusting the translated IDs in the database for the wp_navigation and editing the page via Gutenberg in "Code" view to specify the translated "ref" value. We also recommended checking and translating these from WPML > Translation Management and manually selecting the correct translated parent page. A permanent fix was scheduled for WPML 4.8.
