Problem: The client has a custom post type called 'resources' with an accompanying custom Gutenberg block called 'resource feed'. This block is dynamic and displays data from entries in the feed. However, it does not display different content based on the selected language, showing the same content across all languages. Solution: We recommend using the
wpml_object_id
hook to ensure that the
$post_id
refers to the translated post in the currently active language. Here is how you can implement it:
// will return the post ID in the current language for post ID 1
echo apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 1, 'post' );
// will return the category ID in the current language for category ID 4. If the translation is missing it will return the original (here: category ID 4)
echo apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 4, 'category', TRUE );
// will return the German attachment ID for attachment ID 25. If the translation is missing it will return NULL
echo apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', 25, 'attachment', FALSE, 'de' );

Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where some translated content was not displaying on the front end of a WooCommerce product page. The content was managed via the Gutenberg editor and involved a shortcode. Despite the content being visible in the Advanced Translation Editor, it was not rendered on the front end for certain tabs. Solution: We discovered that the issue was due to the [GK-TABS-BREAK] being mistakenly treated as a real shortcode during translation, which led to its duplication and subsequently broke the tab layout. To resolve this, we modified the code in the theme's shortcode file. Here are the steps we took:
Made a minor edit in the default language product to trigger a retranslation.
Completed the translation in the WPML Advanced Translation Editor.
This solution resolved the issue, and the translated content now displays correctly on the front end. However, please be aware that this fix might become irrelevant due to future updates to the theme or WPML.

Problem: The client has created a language landing page and wants the website to remember the user's language choice using cookies, so it doesn't prompt for language selection on subsequent visits. Solution: We recommend the following steps: 1. Ensure that the 'Language filtering for AJAX operations' is enabled in WPML under WPML >> Languages. This setting allows WPML to set the language code in the cookie 'wp-wpml_current_language'. 2. Use a PHP if/else statement to read this cookie and redirect the user to the correct language page based on their previous selection. For more details on handling cookies with WPML, please refer to our documentation: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/browser-cookies-stored-wpml/ https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/enabling-language-cookie-to-support-ajax-filtering/

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with automatic translations in WPML where the title and content remain empty. Additionally, when trying to refresh an individual post from the WPML translation editor, the page fails to load and displays a PHP Fatal error related to a 'Division by zero' in the WPML plugin files. There are also PHP warnings indicating 'Undefined array key "post_title"'. Solution: We recommend checking for any custom code that might be interfering with the WPML functionalities, especially those related to post titles in translations. It's important to ensure that all custom code snippets are correctly adjusted to match the specific custom post types used on your site. For further guidance on managing translation settings for custom post types, you can refer to this documentation: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/remove-title-from-translation-only-for-custom-post-type/#post-15269091.
