Bug

Problem:

The client is experiencing a PHP deprecation warning on custom post type pages when using the WPML SEO plugin with PHP version 8.3.19. The error message appears under the header, as indicated in the debug log.

Solution:

We have identified that this issue stems from a compatibility problem with PHP 8.3.19. Although this warning does not affect the functionality of the plugin or the site, it can be visually disruptive. We recommend disabling the debug mode in WordPress to prevent such warnings from being displayed. You can do this by editing your wp-config.php file and ensuring the following line is included:

define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', false);

For more details on managing debug mode in WordPress, please refer to this article: Debugging in WordPress.

Problem:
You are trying to translate the alt tags of images on your website using the 'media translation' menu, but after translating the page, the alt tags remain in English.
Solution:
We recommend you to backup your site first. Then, follow these steps:
1. Open the file

themify\themify-builder\classes\class-themify-builder-model.php

.
2. Locate line 357.
3. Replace the existing code:

public static function get_alt_by_url(string $image_url):string {
        $attachment_id = themify_get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
        if ($attachment_id && ($alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true))) {
            return $alt;
        }
        return '';
    }

with the following updated code:

public static function get_alt_by_url(string $image_url):string {
        $attachment_id = themify_get_attachment_id_from_url($image_url);
        // WPML Workaround for wpmlsupp-12600
        if ( class_exists('Sitepress') ) { 
            $current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL ); 
            $attachment_id = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'post', TRUE, $current_lang ); 
        }
        if ($attachment_id && ($alt = get_post_meta($attachment_id, '_wp_attachment_image_alt', true))) {
            return $alt;
        }
        return '';
    }

After making these changes, check the translated page and inspect the image alt texts.
