The site is built using ACF and the English fields are working fine. But the ACF Arabic fields are locked. I have contacted ACF and they have confirmed this is due to the translation plugin issue.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- Please share a URL where the issue can be seen.

2.- Also, I kindly ask you to share the access credentials to the site in your next message, which I have set private. This will allow me to reproduce the issue in the URL you shared in the previous point and double-check the WPML configuration.

Confirm you have created a full site backup that you can restore if necessary.

Looking forward to your message.
Regards,
Carlos

Hi there,
Thank you very much for sharing the information requested

The behavior you are seeing is the expected one, because the Offers post type is set to non-translatable, which means that the ACF values have no post to be translated to.

To change this behavior, you must set the CPT Offers to be translatable, and in their translated version, you should be able to translate the ACF values.

Is there something else I can help you with?

Hi Carlos,

We had done the above steps but still we are seeing the locked fields in the translated page. As we had already shared the credentials, can you try the solution shared above and let us know?

Hi,

I adjusted the ACF configuration based on our official guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/ and now you can edit the ACF in the Arabic version: hidden link

Can you confirm that the issue is solved?

The offer lock issue has been resolved in offer and partner posts but now it has been added to image sections of pages. Thats another big issues for us now.

Hi there,

Please compare the configuration of the ACF in offers to the ACF in pages. You will see how I set it up so you can replicate it in the pages.

The issue is only with image in pages...its resolved in offer posts. Even though the lock is visible for text fields, we're able to edit and make changes but we're unable to change image.

Hi there,

I see no ACF for pages in hidden link

Could you share the URL to edit the image ACF that still can't be changed?
