Problem:
The client wants the author bio link in the recipe card to redirect to the appropriate language version of the 'about-me' page, depending on the language the visitor is viewing the recipe card in. The current setup only redirects to the English version, even when the site is switched to Dutch.
Solution:
1. We recommend enabling the translation of the author by navigating to WPML > String Translation > More Options and checking the option to translate users.
2. If the author link is not a standard WordPress author page and is instead implemented using a custom template or page, we suggest using the wpml_object_id hook to adjust the URL based on the current language. This hook allows for the translation of post IDs, ensuring the correct page is served for each language.
Here is an example of how you might use the hook:
<?php<br />$translated_post_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $post_id, 'page', true );<br />$translated_post_url = get_permalink( $translated_post_id );<br />return $translated_post_url;<br />?>
3. Alternatively, you can register the URL as a string and translate it using the wpml_register_single_string hook, or create a conditional statement that checks the current language and returns the appropriate URL.
For more information on WPML hooks, you can visit our WPML hooks reference and the wpml_object_id hook documentation.
