jeffB-12	Background of the issue: I am working on a site under development and trying to translate the employer dashboard page using WPML. The page URL is hidden link. Additionally, I need help with editing footer translations, which don't seem to be handled by the string editor. Symptoms: The entire content of the employer dashboard page disappears when attempting to translate it. Questions: How can I translate the employer dashboard page without losing its content? How can I edit footer translations if they are not handled by the string editor?

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi Jeff, Thank you for contacting WPML support, I’m happy to help you with this issue. The plugin "WPJobBoard" isn't available in our list of compatible plugins https://wpml.org/plugin/ so it could be a compatibility issue between WPJobBoard and WPML. To be able to report the compatibility issue we need to replicate the issue on a clean installation. I created a clean installation of WordPress, WPML, and all necessary WPML add-ons. You can access the WordPress dashboard using this link hidden link Kindly follow the steps below: - Don’t restore your site there. - Install WPJobBoard plugin. - Try to replicate the issue with minimal steps. - Then let me know the steps to replicate it. Regarding the footer, I see that you use Divi builder to create the footer template. I suggest you go to WPML > Translation Management to translate the Divi template and check the footer on the translation page. Please follow the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/divi-builder/ Looking forward to your reply. Thanks

I'm discussing this compatibility issue with our 2nd tier support and I will update you here when I have something to share. Meanwhile, you can help us move forward by contacting the plugin WPJobBoard author and asking them to join our Go Global program, where our Compatibility developers will help them make their product compatible with WPML. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ Thanks for your co-operation.

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, Our 2nd tier support found a way to show the employer dashboard on the translation page, please follow the workaround below and let me know if it helps: 1. Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/wpjobboard/framework/ProjectAbstract.php 2. Around line 210, replace the code if(isset($config[$param]) && (!empty($config[$param]) \|\| is_numeric($config[$param]))) { return $config[$param]; } else { return $default; } with this one if(isset($config[$param]) && (!empty($config[$param]) \|\| is_numeric($config[$param]))) { // workaround WPML for compsupp-7696 if(is_numeric($config[$param])){ $config[$param] = apply_filters( 'wpml_object_id', $config[$param], 'page', true ); } return $config[$param]; } else { return $default; } ❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌ If it works on your site, please also help us report this issue to the plugin author and ask them to join our Go Global program, where our Compatibility developers will help them make their product compatible with WPML. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ Thanks.

jeffB-12	Thank you, this worked for the first page! however the tabs within are still not showing, eg the buttons on that page lead to: hidden link which is blank. Can we modify it as well? all these need to be translateable

jeffB-12	Sorry let me know if this need a new ticket, but there’s also the issue with the email contents, they aren’t translated an I don’t see how to have WPML handle translations for them.

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, Can you please replicate the issue on the sandbox site that I shared above? I don't see that issue with the "Post a job" page. This plugin isn't compatible with WPML so you will experience many issues when using it and WPML. Also, as you can see, the fix for the issue is added to their plugin source code, not to WPML itself. So, for a long-term solution, I recommend you contact the plugin author and ask them to join our Go Global program, where our Compatibility developers will help them make their product compatible with WPML. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ Thanks for your co-operation.

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, I'm asking our 2nd tier support to check the issue with the translation "job-add" page to show the form. Meanwhile, for a long-term solution and to prevent fixing issues one by one, I recommend you contact the plugin author and ask them to join our Go Global program, where our Compatibility developers will help them make their product compatible with WPML. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ Thanks.

Long Nguyen Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, Our 2nd tier support found the same workaround, we suggest you use the same slug for the translation page like this hidden link Also, we recommend you use a job board plugin that is compatible with WPML so you won't experience some compatibility issues when using it. For example: WP Job Manager, refer to the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/translating-wp-job-manager-using-wpml/ Thanks.
