Problem: You are experiencing an issue where all product categories are displayed in the original version of your store, but in the Russian version, half of the categories are missing. These categories are translated and function correctly but do not appear on the store page. Solution: We recommend trying the following workaround: 1. Add the following code to your
functions.php
file inside your theme folder:
testfix();<br />function testfix(){<br /> global $wpdb;<br /> $elements = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT `element_id`<br />FROM {$wpdb->prefix}icl_translations<br />WHERE `element_type` = 'tax_product_cat' ORDER BY `trid`");<br />foreach ($elements as $element){<br /> $testelement = get_term_meta($element->element_id, 'order', true);<br /> if ($testelement == ""){<br /> add_term_meta($element->element_id, 'order', 0);<br /> }<br />}<br />}
2. Set the sort to category order in the widgets. 3. Visit the front end once. 4. Delete the code from the
functions.php
file after checking.
Please ensure to backup your site before implementing this test to avoid any potential issues.
