    • Hi Juan,
      yes, you will be able to upgrade to Lifetime by paying the difference but it will be possible within 30 days before your current subscription expires. You will get 2 email reminders: the first 30 days before, the second one – a few days before.

    • Not possible with WordPress built-in taxonomies (categories and tags). This is due to the way WordPress handle this. However, it is possible to have the same slug in different languages with custom taxonomies.

  1. I have another website that uses wpml – Northforkbison.com Now I would like to purchase another wpml product for a new website – mountaincreekelkranch.com

    my question: do I get a deal for purchasing more than 1 wpml product?

    • You don’t have to. You can use your WPML subscription for all your sites (and the sites you build for your customers).

  2. I currently have a request in for non-profit consideration. While I wait for the several weeks to get a response, is it possible to either:

    1) Get a copy of the product so I can begin to work with it?
    2) or Purchase and then get a refund if non-profit status is granted?

    Thank you,
    Darren

    • Hello,
      let me contact the people responsible for such requests. From what I know we are flooded by new requests like yours. I would recommend to wait since asking for a refund means cancelling your WPML subscription.

  3. Dear support,

    Before I buy the plug in I would like what would happen if one day I decide to switch back to one language only. In other words by disabling the plug will the site function fine in the default language?

    Thanks

    • If you just disable the plugin, everything will work fine but you will see all the posts/pages from all languages. If you want to completely remove everything, WPML includes a utility for clean removal before deleting the plugin. Go to WPML->Support->Troubleshooting. There, click on “Reset all language data and deactivate WPML”. Finally delete WPML.

  4. Hi,

    I have some pre-sales questions here:

    1) I have downloaded the free version WPML , it support basic translation or need to buy license here?

    2) I’m running a e-comm store, and want to have one more language for whole site content (admin no need), is basic plan supported?

    That are my questions, thanks.

    • Hi,

      1. What do you mean by “free”? WPML is a commercial plugin. WPML doesn’t translate your content automatically.
      2. To handle WooCommerce stores you need to have at least the “Multilingual CMS” version.

  5. Hi,
    I purchased a wpml lifetime license and received a mail that says my order is complete and that my login was sent in another mail. However I have waited for 23 hours now. How long time should I expect until I receive a mail with log in information or is something wrong?

  6. Hello Agnes,

    I’m trying to buy WPML Multilingual CMS Lifetime and I put in my VAT Number. I am in Holland. I don’t see the VAT 21% disappear. What do I do wrong?

    Michael

    • Is this still happening to you? The VAT checker contacts the EU servers. Sometimes (not often) that server is slow to respond. If this problem continues, try clearing browser cache. Let me know if it’s not working for you. We’ll contact privately, get your VAT number and see what’s wrong.

  7. Hello,

    If I upgrade from Multilingual CMS to Multilingual CMS Lifetime, can I use the entire WPML solution for more than one domain (unlimited domains) and for unlimited sites?

    Thanks

    • Yes, but you can use WPML on all your sites also with the yearly account. The difference between the yearly and the lifetime account is that you don’t need to pay for renewals for support and updates.

  8. We are not the one who develop this website, but we are the one who help our client to enhance the website. We have upgraded our wordpress to 4.51 but we found the wpml multilingua plugin was not update, to update the plugin is it we need to purchase again ?

    • If your client already bought an account for WPML, you shouldn’t need to pay again. Best is to check that this account is valid (not expired) and to register WPML on that site. This will allow WPML to receive updates automatically.

  9. Hello,

    my name is Ivan and I am from Bulgaria. Currently developing a WP website for a client that would need a translation. We’d like to purchase a copy of your plugin – Multilingual CMS Lifetime and use it on current and future websites. Could you send me a proforma invoice with the following info:

    Health Source Ltd.
    Sofia 1680
    Borovo, bl. 229
    00359 882 882 977

    thank you in advance!

  10. If I upgrade my old version of WPML plugin will it keep all the settings and translations throughout the website? Thanks!

  11. Hi there.

    I am looking for a plugin for my website to allow currency switcher so that customers can view product price in multiple currencies and pay with their selected currency. Will the basic plan suffice for this purpose? Also, how does the conversion rate work? Do I have to manually update the conversion rate for the different currencies or could I use yahoo finance for automatic update?

    Thanks.

  12. Hi there,

    I have a wordpress theme and a plugin that I want to translate into german.
    The theme is not a problem because it has .po and .mo files. But the plugin is not programmed with .po /.mo files – means: every print is done with php echo.

    So I can not translate the plugin with a .mo /.po /.pot file.

    Is it possible with wpml to translate the plugin in this case also if it is not “translation ready programmed”?

    • In order to translate the texts in your plugin, all the texts need to be wrapped in GetText calls. Then, WPML will find the texts and allow you to translate them via the String Translation module.

  13. Hi,

    just to be shure… if i take the lifetime pacage i can use it on endles number of websites??

    Thanks for your help….

    Br

    • Yes. You can use WPML on all the sites that you build for yourself and for your clients. To receive updates, you will need to register each of these sites.

  14. Hi, I’m willing to buy your product. I’m using the Perfect CV theme by pixeldizajn. They claim that is WPML compatible, but they don’t appear in the certified themes list. If I install it and doesn’t work… can I uninstall the product and get a refund? Do you have a trial period?
    Thanks
    Juan Carlos

    • Yes, certainly. Perhaps they tested with WPML but didn’t pass this via us. If you have compatibility issues, our team will do its best to resolve things. In any case, you can always get a full refund, up to 30 days from the purchase date.

  15. Hello, I have a client website that has an expired subscription and no access to updates. How can I upgrade this with a new subscription without overwriting anything that has been built with the plugin already?

    • No problem. You can buy an account for WPML and upgrade the plugin. You will need to register WPML on that site, with your details. Then, you will receive automatic updates to this site. You will be able to register WPML for automatic updates on this site and on all your other sites. Updates don’t modify any content in the site.

    • Sorry, we don’t have any live demo. However, we offer refunds up to 30 days from the date of purchase. You can buy WPML and try it on your site. If you’re not 100% happy, tell us and we’ll quickly refund your order.

  16. Hi,

    Is your plugin fully compatible with the Kriesi Enfold Theme ?

    My WordPress Version is : 4.5.2
    My Enfold Theme Version : 3.5.4

    Best regards,

    Patrice COUTURIER

  17. Hi, your plugin seems really great but does the langage preference can be stored in the user meta ? In order to manage mail communication in the right langage.

    • Yes, WPML stores user language preference in user-meta. Actually, WPML 3.4 is coming out with a new API that allows plugins and themes to send emails to site members in the right language. Are you developing such a theme/plugin, or looking to use one?

    • I’m looking to use that kind of feature but with a mailchimp integration. That’s why we use Meta to select segment in our users.

      • What you’re asking should be doable, but will require custom coding. You will not need to hack WPML’s files. There are API calls to get the information that you need. Are you planning to implement this integration yourself? If not, we can refer you to developers who know WPML inside and out and can help.

  18. Hi,
    I have tried contacting you several times now. I have only received replies from Agnes. However, I still have not received an email or access to your software.

    I have been trying to contact you now for 2 months. I missed my deadline hoping that I would be able to present the site using your software to Pope Francis.

    However, as you have not responded I was unable to. If you are not going to fulfill your statement to allow us (A nonprofit) to use your software please let me know.

    I am building a site for an NPO and would like to use your software, it is a multi-lingual site. I have used the proper contact form to contact you now several times over the past 2 months and described what the site was and where it is located but still nothing.

    Thank you for your time.

    • Hello,
      I’m sorry that we’ve kept your waited for such a long time. We are flooded with requests from non-profit organisation and since we need to handle each one manually it takes time. I have just notified the person in charge, you should get an email soon.
