Problem:
The client is using the 'Rank Math SEO' plugin to generate sitemap.xml on their website. However, URLs translated by WPML are not appearing in the sitemap for pages like /ru and /en.
Solution:
We first asked the client to provide screenshots of the issue and check if it matches any known issues listed here: https://wpml.org/plugin/rank-math-seo/#ki. We also requested debug information, which can be provided by following the instructions here: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/.
Next, we suggested the following steps:
1. Navigate to 'WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks'.
2. Click the 'Save' button to clear the permalink cache.
3. Follow the instructions from Rank Math to restart the XML Sitemap function in Rank Math.
Additionally, we recommended checking this solution: https://wpml.org/errata/rank-math-seo-incorrect-url-in-sitemap-for-translated-front-page/.

Problem:

The client is developing a site using WP Job Manager and WPML and encountered an issue where the dropdown list for selecting resumes shows all language versions instead of just the current language version.

Solution:

We recommended the client make specific changes in the code to ensure the dropdown only displays resumes in the current language. Here are the steps:

1) Navigate to the

wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager-resumes/includes/

folder.
2) Open the

class-wp-resume-manager-apply.php

file for editing.
3) Locate line 85 and modify the code as follows:
From:

$args = apply_filters(
    'resume_manager_get_application_form_resumes_args',
    [
        'post_type'           => 'resume',
        'post_status'         => [ 'publish', 'hidden' ],
        'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
        'posts_per_page'      => -1,
        'orderby'             => 'date',
        'order'               => 'desc',
        'author'              => get_current_user_id(),
    ]
);

To:

$args = apply_filters(
    'resume_manager_get_application_form_resumes_args',
    [
        'post_type'           => 'resume',
        'post_status'         => [ 'publish', 'hidden' ],
        'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
        'posts_per_page'      => -1,
        'orderby'             => 'date',
        'order'               => 'desc',
        'author'              => get_current_user_id(),
        'suppress_filters'    => false
    ]
);

Please ensure to back up your site before making these changes. If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If further assistance is needed, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Problem:

The client reported that the 'Post' category in some widgets was not translating correctly.

Solution:

After testing, we found a workaround that involves modifying the code in the Elementor plugin. Here are the steps we recommend you follow after making a full site backup:

1. Navigate to the

   wp-content/plugins/ultimate-elementor/modules/posts/template-blocks/

   folder.

2. Open the

   skin-style.php

   file for editing.

3. Scroll to line 1088 and replace the existing code with the following:

   
   From

   $filter_type = $settings[ $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter_rule' ];
    
   $filters = $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ];
   

   To

   $filter_type = $settings[ $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter_rule' ];
    
   // WPML Workaround for compsupp-7728
   if (class_exists('Sitepress')) {
       $original_terms = $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by  . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ];
       $translated_terms = [];
    
       foreach ($original_terms as $term_slug) {
           $term_obj = get_term_by('slug', $term_slug, $filter_by );
            
           if ($term_obj) {
               $translated_term_id = apply_filters('wpml_object_id', $term_obj->term_id, $filter_by , true);
               $translated_term = get_term($translated_term_id, $filter_by );
               if ($translated_term && !is_wp_error($translated_term)) {
                   $translated_terms[] = $translated_term->slug;
               }
           }
       }
    
       $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by  . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ] = $translated_terms;           
   }
    
   $filters = $settings[ 'tax_' . $filter_by . '_' . $post_type . '_filter' ];
   

Additionally, the plugin author has included a fix in the upcoming version of Ultimate Addons for Elementor, which we have already implemented in our sandbox site for testing.
