One more question to be sure, What is the settings I should do regarding comments ? (Attached picture)
What does "Synchronize comments on duplicate content" and "Synchronize comment status" mean exactly?
Does my french comments will be mix with the english ones? I guess no as it is 2 different pages right?
All the best,
Dan
Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.
Please note, it will not be possible to sync or translate the comments between the original language and translated language posts/pages when we are using the default Comments feature of WordPress because of technical reasons. Comments are associated with the posts/pages in the language in which they were created.
*Synchronize comments on duplicate content* feature only works if we duplicate a Post or Page to secondary languages. Therefore as a workaround, you can try one of the following plugins for achieving this feature.
a) Install and activate the Multilingual Comments plugin - https://wordpress.org/plugins/multilingual-comments/. This plugin will help us to sync the Comments between the original language and translated language posts/pages
Or
b) Install and activate the WPML comments merging plugin - hidden link. This plugin will merge the Comments of the original language and translated language posts/pages
Please try it after a full site backup and let me know your feedback.
