Hi,

We have an issue with a website we are developing on a bespoke theme using ACF - when duplicating pages and Custom Post Types using WPML, all content including ACF content has been duplicated correctly and then we manually translate the duplicated pages using the WordPress Editor

Everything has been working fine except there is one CPT group that does not duplicate correctly - once duplicated, the duplicated pages in the other languages are all empty.

Hey there,

It seems like there's some code on your theme hiding the ACF menu on WP. We had to access it via the URL by the end point: 'edit.php?post_type=acf-field-group'.

I also checked that you were missing ACFML, I went ahead and installed it.

After that, I navigated to the ACF page on the link above and checked that the CPT Dining was using two groups of fields: 'Page builder' and 'Dining page'. I edited both groups and set them to 'Same fields across languages' in the Multilingual section.

After that I went to a Dining post, edited it in the main language (just added a space to it) and saved. Now when I try to translate it using the WordPress editor, I'm able to see the fields for translation.

Can you please check it to see if it's working on your end as well?

Thank you, please let us know.
