Custom Work

Problem:
The client is experiencing a timeout issue when trying to automatically duplicate job listings to the default language using custom code from the WPML forums. Despite disabling unnecessary plugins and checking the debug log, the timeout persists.
Solution:
We recommend using the bulk 'duplicate' feature in WPML for duplicating posts from a secondary language to the default language. This can be done by navigating to WPML->Translation Management, filtering for the posts created in the secondary language, and performing a batch duplication to the default language. If custom code is necessary, we suggest modifying the existing code to prevent duplicate function calls and ensure it targets the specific needs of the site. Here is an example modification:

add_action('wp_insert_post', 'my_duplicate_on_publishh');<br />function my_duplicate_on_publishh($post_id) {<br />    if (get_post_meta($post_id, '_duplicate_processed', true)) {<br />        return;<br />    }<br />    $post = get_post($post_id);<br />    if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;<br />    if (isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type === 'revision') return;<br />    if (isset($post->post_type) && $post->post_type === 'job_listing') {<br />        remove_action('wp_insert_post', 'my_duplicate_on_publishh');<br />        $is_translated = apply_filters('wpml_element_has_translations', '', $post_id, $post->post_type);<br />        if (!$is_translated) {<br />            error_log("Creating duplicates for post ID: $post_id");<br />            do_action('wpml_admin_make_post_duplicates', $post_id);<br />            update_post_meta($post_id, '_duplicate_processed', true);<br />        }<br />        add_action('wp_insert_post', 'my_duplicate_on_publishh');<br />    }<br />}

Ensure that listings are set to 'translatable' in WPML->Settings. If further customization is needed, consider hiring a specialized developer with WPML experience from https://wpml.org/contractors/.

Problem:
The client wants to modify the batch name on their site using functions.php but is unsure if there is a WPML hook available for this purpose.
Solution:
We reviewed the client's request and confirmed that there is no existing WPML hook that allows modification of the batch name directly from functions.php. This task requires custom development, which is outside the scope of our support.

If this solution does not apply to your situation, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. We also advise checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem:
You are trying to prevent WPML from auto-translating specific links on translated pages, aiming to use English links on German pages. Despite following the provided documentation, the links still auto-translate to the targeted page translation instead of pointing to the original English page.
Solution:
In WPML -> Settings, you can adjust the page slug setting from "Auto generate from the title" to "Copy." This setting is mainly for languages with encoded URLs. Alternatively, you can use the "Translate" setting within the translation editor to manually set the slug, allowing you to point links to the original language page as needed. For further customizations beyond these settings, additional development might be necessary, which is outside our support scope.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem:
The client is redesigning a website and wants the English menu to display in its entirety for all languages without manually creating the menu in each language. This is to avoid updating 10+ menus every time a page is added to the English menu.
Solution:
Currently, WPML does not support automatic duplication of menus across different languages. The client has two options:
1. Manually duplicate the menus by going to Appearance > Menus, clicking on the "+" sign to add menus in secondary languages, and inserting the English links and labels.
2. Implement a custom code solution. The client can try editing the provided code to fit their context or consult with professional contractors for assistance. The code provided earlier should be added to the functions.php file, ensuring a backup is made first due to potential risks:

$locations_to_omit = ['header']; //Append menu locations here. e.g. ['primary', 'footer']<br />add_filter('wp_nav_menu_args', function ($args) use ($locations_to_omit) {<br />    if (isset($args['theme_location']) && in_array($args['theme_location'], $locations_to_omit)) {<br />        $current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );<br />        do_action('wpml_switch_language', apply_filters( 'wpml_default_language', null ));<br />        <br />        add_filter('wp_nav_menu', function ($nav_menu) use ($current_lang){<br />            do_action('wpml_switch_language', $current_lang);<br />            return $nav_menu;<br />        }, 99);<br />    }<br />    <br />    return $args;<br />}, 1);

Problem:
You are experiencing issues with displaying translated taxonomy terms attached to a custom post type using the function

get_the_terms()

. The terms always appear in the default language, and the

$current_ID

variable returns nothing, which prevents displaying links to the translated taxonomy terms.
Solution:
First, ensure that your code functions correctly in the default language. If it does, the issue might be related to how the translations and taxonomy terms are set up in WPML. Here are the steps we recommend:
1. Verify that each post and its corresponding taxonomy terms are translated into the desired languages.
2. In the WPML settings, configure your custom post type (CPT) and taxonomy to be 'Translatable - only show translated items'.
3. Check if the issue persists using a default WordPress theme, as custom themes can sometimes cause conflicts.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it might be due to outdated methods or incompatibilities with your current setup. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem:
The client was unable to translate the author link to point to the about page in the second language, translate sidebar category buttons, and set up a different newsletter pop-up for each language using Mailerlite.
Solution:
1) For the author link, we recommended checking if the link is saved as a string that can be translated via WPML's String Translation. If not found, the client should follow the guide on finding strings that don't appear on the string translation page (documentation). Additionally, we provided a custom code solution to dynamically change the author link based on the current language using WPML functions:

add_filter('author_link', 'modify_author_link', 10, 1);<br />function modify_author_link($link) {<br />    $current_language = apply_filters('wpml_current_language', null);<br />    if ($current_language === 'fr') {<br />        $link = 'https://www.thatcutedish.com/fr/a-propos/';<br />    } else {<br />        $link = 'https://www.thatcutedish.com/about/';<br />    }<br />    return $link;<br />}

2) For translating sidebar buttons, since they are part of a WordPress widget block, we directed the client to follow the steps in our guide on translating widgets (documentation). If the widgets are not appearing under Appearance > Widgets due to theme limitations, contacting the theme developer for assistance was recommended.
3) Regarding the Mailerlite pop-up, since WPML does not currently integrate with Mailerlite, we suggested manually creating separate pop-ups for each language or contacting the plugin author about potential integration with WPML.

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues (here), verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problema:
Il cliente sta cercando di configurare domini diversi per ogni lingua utilizzando WPML. WordPress è installato in una sottocartella mentre il dominio principale utilizza Laraval. La configurazione dei domini desiderata è miodominio.com/blog e per ottenerla ha tentato di utilizzare un reverse proxy, ma sta riscontrando errori nel log del server nginx.
Soluzione:
Purtroppo, non possiamo fornire supporto diretto per questo problema specifico poiché la configurazione desiderata esula dalle funzionalità standard di WPML. Consigliamo di contattare uno dei contractor di WPML per assistenza specializzata.
