Problem: The client is experiencing issues with the Directorist plugin on a staging server where categories and listings are not displaying on the homepage after setting up WPML. Additionally, the client is unable to assign Directorist pages for the German language without them being removed from the English language. Regenerating the pages results in a blank website.
Solution: 1) We recommend editing the translated categories to assign the listing type and then checking if the homepage issue is resolved. 2) To address the empty 'Listing Type' field, navigate to Directory Listing -> Directory Builder -> Default -> Add Listing Form, delete the empty 'Listing Type' field, and verify if the issue persists. 3) Ensure that automatic translation functions correctly by creating content in the site's default language, which should be English. After publishing, listings should translate automatically. 4) You can also use WPML's Translation Management to send content for automatic translation. For guidance, please refer to the automatic translation documentation.
Please note that the solution provided might be outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If you still need assistance, please open a new support ticket.
