[Waiting for user confirmation] Split: Page lists block is empty in translation

Hello,

I am trying to reproduce the issue from scratch with the page list in content, but I was not able as it seems to work fine for me.

What I have done:

- Created 2 new pages, set them as parent > child, translated. Made sure they are like that in both languages
- Edited page templates and added page list block, translated the template

it seems to work fine: hidden link

Can you please check it out on the next test site and let me know if I am missing any steps here?

- hidden link

Thanks,

Hello,

thanks for getting back, as I advised let's please keep this ticket topic on the content page list issue, if you think they are the same we can just continue on this or you can get back to me in another ticket, to keep things and conversations clean and simple.

So, as I said, I tried to reproduce the issue, but following the shared steps in my last reply I do not get the same issue, can you please share a full step-by-step guide on how can I reproduce the same issue with the page list block in the content part? If it is easier you can record a video of your steps from scratch, using the LOOM tool.

Thanks,
Drazen

Hello,

Thank you very much, that makes it a lot clearer now.

I have escalated this to our 2nd tier to further check and escalate to our developers for a permanent fix. In the meantime, as a quick workaround, you can edit 2nd language page manually and select the correct translated parent page and it should work fine.

Hello,

thanks for reply.

Sure I will note this and I have escalated it, as mentioned, and will update you here when I have some news or a workaround on this. Note it may take a day or two before I have any feedback.

Hello,

our 2nd tier checked and provided a solution. Please go to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration and add the next code:

<wpml-config>
  <gutenberg-blocks>
    <gutenberg-block type="core/page-list" translate="0">
      <key name="parentPageID" type="post-ids" sub-type="page">
      </key>
    </gutenberg-block>
  </gutenberg-blocks>
</wpml-config>

- Save.
- Go to your default language page and make a small change, save, and re-translate. It should work fine and show the correct pages in the page list block in the translated page.

We will also be including this code from our side, so it is permanently solved.

Drazen

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback, Let's continue on this in another ticket, I need to keep it separated as this is another block, and not the same case and might need another escalation.

If the fix for the current case helps, I think it is safe to close this one ticket now.

Hello,

I was talking about the original ticket with the navigation issue. This kind of putting all in one ticket causes problems with communication and the clarity of the topic and issues, as you can see from our conversation.

1) So please keep this ticket about page list block inside content, for which we have provided solution and this ticket can be closed now.

2) The issue for navigation block/templates is checked in this ticket: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/page-lists-are-empty-in-translation/ and is waiting for your feedback and let's continue there on that topic.

Thanks,
Drazen
