[Resolved] How to translate button in a grid builder template

Hi there,

Thanks for contacting WPML support.

I've checked your screenshot and I know what you needed there. I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your forthcoming response will remain confidential, accessible only to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

Upon reviewing your debug information, I have observed that the PHP limit for your "WP Memory Limit" is lower than the recommended 256MB or the required 128MB, as mentioned in the documentation found at: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/. To resolve this, I kindly request that you contact your hosting provider and request an increase in the PHP value for you.

Thanks for your patience.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but in order to proceed with troubleshooting, we kindly request a site snapshot. Alternatively, with your permission, we can create a snapshot on our own.

For this purpose, we typically recommend using the free plugin "Duplicator." If you are already familiar with how Duplicator works ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/), please skip the following steps and simply send me the archive file you downloaded.

To assist you further, please follow these instructions:
Watch the Duplicator instructions video: hidden link

Refer to the instructions provided by WPML on how to provide supporters a copy of your site: https://wpml.org/faq/provide-supporters-copy-site/

If the archive file exceeds 400MB in size, please utilize Duplicator's file filters to exclude the cache, wp-uploads directory, media, and archive files.

Once you have the archive file, please share the link with us. You can use services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar platforms as the snapshot file will likely be large.

Please note that your next reply will be private, visible only to you and me. You can paste the link to the file there. Rest assured that once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local site.

Thanks for your patience

I'm able to replicate it here hidden link and I will forward this to our 2nd Tier Support for further assistance.

Thanks for your patience.

I'd like you to know that the vc_grid_item is by default set (and locked) as translatable. Since you're modifying a default settings, this is a custom code request.

Note that we can provide this as a workaround for this specific issue and as a example for future modifications, but we can't provide more custom snippets as this is out of our support policy.

To continue with the workaround, add the following code to the functions.php file

// WPML: Workaround for compsupp-6892
function wpml_compsupp6892_modify_vc_btn_title( $out, $pairs, $atts ) {
	// Check if title is set and if it's "Read More-EN"
	if ( class_exists('Sitepress') && isset( $out['title'] ) ) {

		$string = $out['title'];
		$textdomain = 'WordPress';
		$string_name = 'WPML Workaround : '.substr($string, 0, 20);

		$wpml_default_lang = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', NULL );
		$wpml_current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );

		if ($wpml_default_lang == $wpml_current_lang ) {
			do_action( 'wpml_register_single_string', $textdomain, $string_name, $string );
		}	
		// Apply the translation to the string
		$string = apply_filters('wpml_translate_single_string', $string , $textdomain, $string_name);

		$out['title'] = $string;  // Replace the title		
	}
	return $out;
}
add_filter( 'shortcode_atts_vc_btn', 'wpml_compsupp6892_modify_vc_btn_title', 10, 3 );
