Hello,
We used svg to display fancy title on this page : hidden link
But when we use WPML Media to put a different svg for each language, it doesn't work as you can see on my short recording that I made for you : hidden link
It seems it doesn't store the data.

What could cause that ?

Thank you.

Hi,

Reference to our recent chat, I need to take a closer look at your site. So I request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP), preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your next answer will be private, to share this information safely.

Also provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue and links to pages in admin and on frontend.

IMPORTANT: Please take a complete backup of the site to avoid data loss. I may need to activate/deactivate plugins also.

See https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/ for details on privacy and security.

Regards.

Thank you for your patience on this. I've reproduced the problem in a clean install. Looks like there's a conflict between theme and the media translation. Because if I switch to another theme the translated image is shown correctly in WPML -> Media Translation.

Please note that by default WordPress doesn't allow svg image uploads. So this is a feature offered by the Bricks theme. Since the theme is on our compatibility list, I've escalated the matter to our compatibility team for a possible solution.

I'll update you as soon as I hear back, however, it may take some time. Your patience and cooperation is highly appreciated.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Our team suggests the following workaround:

IMPORTANT: Take a backup before proceeding.

- Open the /wp-content/themes/bricks/includes/integrations/wpml/wpml.php file.
- Look for line 509.
- Replace:

	public function get_translated_attachment_id( $attachment_id ) {
		return apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'attachment', true );
	}

- With:

	public function get_translated_attachment_id( $attachment_id ) {
		if ( is_admin() && did_action( 'admin_init' ) ){
			$current_screen = get_current_screen();
		 }

		// Check if the current screen is the WPML Media Translation screen (you'll need the exact screen ID)
		if ( $current_screen && $current_screen->id === 'wpml_page_wpml-media' ) {
			return $attachment_id; // Return the original image if it's a WPML Media Translation screen.
		}		

		return apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $attachment_id, 'attachment', true );
	}

Please let me know how it goes.

Hello,

Now, I can upload different svg in Media translation per language as you can see on my print screen. But if I create a test page and change the language, we still see the original svg as you can see on my test english page : hidden link
test french page : hidden link

Any ideas ?

Thank you for the updates.

I retested this in sandbox and looks like the issue on frontend is with SVG widget, while using Image widget works fine:

- hidden link
- hidden link

However, I am discussing with my team that if we can look into this too. Meanwhile, can you check on your side using Image widget and confirm?

"Meanwhile, can you check on your side using Image widget and confirm?"
Yes I confirme that if I use the Image widget for the svg, it works 🙂

"However, I am discussing with my team that if we can look into this too."
Ok thank you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Our team offers the following workaround for SVG widget:

Remember to take theme's backup beforehand.

- Open ..../wp-content/themes/bricks/includes/elements/svg.php file.
- Look for line 134.
- Change:

$svg_path = get_attached_file( $this->settings['file']['id'] );

- For:

$svg_path = get_attached_file( apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $this->settings['file']['id'], 'attachment', FALSE ) );

I've tested this in the sandbox and seems to work fine (hidden link).

Please let me know so we can move forward and update the author about it.
