Problem: If you're experiencing issues with portfolio items disappearing when switching languages and receiving a 404 error page after switching languages on a product, follow these steps for a solution. Solution: 1. Add the following code to your theme's
functions.php
file:
// WPML Workaround for compsupp-7272<br />function wpml_compsupp7272_brisk_filter_category_slug($slug) {<br /> if ( class_exists( 'Sitepress' ) ) {<br /> /* We need to register the same slug in all languages, then translate that slug with a string translator<br /> * So let's hardcode the slug here and translate it later<br /> */<br /> $slug = 'products-category';<br /> }<br /> return $slug;<br />}<br /><br />add_filter( 'uicore_portfolio_category_slug', 'wpml_compsupp7272_brisk_filter_category_slug' );<br /><br />$slug = apply_filters( 'uicore_portfolio_slug', $slug );<br /><br />function wpml_compsupp7272_brisk_filter_portfolio_slug($slug) {<br /> if ( class_exists( 'Sitepress' ) ) {<br /> /* We need to register the same slug in all languages, then translate that slug WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation<br /> * So let's hardcode the slug here and translate it later<br /> */<br /> $slug = 'products';<br /> }<br /> return $slug;<br />}<br /><br />add_filter( 'uicore_portfolio_slug', 'wpml_compsupp7272_brisk_filter_portfolio_slug' );
2. Go to the WPML String translator and translate the category slug. 3. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Post Type translation and translate the post type slug. 4. Visit Settings > Permalinks and re-save Permalinks.
