Dear,

I am using the plugin 'Ultimate Blocks' to create reusable blocks for our wordpress website.
For Translating I use WPML.

I've translated the reusable blocks, and it works fine, when I just use that reusable block in a page.

The problem is, I want to use the reusable block in the footer (hereunder you can find the code I am using for that).

<?php
// get reusable gutenberg block:
$gblock = get_post( 87647 );
echo apply_filters( 'the_content', $gblock->post_content );
?>

The reusable block is showing, but not changing language (always shows in the default language).

Any idea on how to resolve this?

Thank you in advance

Hello!

Welcome to WPML Support.

In your code, You are using a fixed ID (87647), which is probably the default language post. You need to get translated post ID also. For this, you must use the "wpml_object_id" hook to know the translated page ID programmatically.

Info: https://wpml.org/wpml-hook/wpml_object_id/

Kind regards,
Drazen

Dear Drazen,

First of all, thank you for your reply.

This is what I am trying now (unfortunatelly, it's not solved yet):

<?php
$correct_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 87647, 'post', true );
$gblock = get_post($correct_id);
$content = apply_filters('the_content', $gblock->post_content);
echo $content;
?>

Any idea what I do wrong? Thank you in advance
