[Resolved] Post deletion documentation, when what?

Hello,

Welcome to the WPML support forum. I will do my best to help you to resolve the issue.

To help you faster, I've enabled debug information for this support ticket. Please see this link for how to get this information from your site and give it to us: http://wpml.org/faq/provide-debug-information-faster-support/

If we choose the *When deleting a post, delete translations as well* option in WPML>>Settings>>Posts and pages synchronization it will work like the following. Please try it after a full site backup and let us know your feedback.

1) When we Trash an original/default language post its translations will be also trashed

2) When we Trash an original/default language post its duplicates (in the secondary languages) will be also trashed

3) If we permanently delete a post from Trash, its translations/duplicates will be deleted permanently

4) When we Trash/Delete permanently a translated post its original/default language post will not be trashed/deleted

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the details. Yes, if we activate the *When deleting a post, delete translations as well* option, deleting an original language post will also move its translations to the trash.

However, please note that if a post is created in a secondary language and then translated into the site's default (original) language, the post in the secondary language must be deleted first.

You can also select the *When deleting a taxonomy (category, tag or custom), delete translations as well* option of WPML>>Settings>>Posts and pages synchronization.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the updates. I have tested a similar case in a sandbox site (fresh installation). It works as expected. I created a couple of custom posts (Books) in the secondary language and duplicated them in the default language. The default language posts moved to Trash when I Trash the post was created in the secondary language.

Please click the following links for more details.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the updates. Normally it will not happen because of the Post duplication via code. So to make sure, please create a Job post in your live site in a secondary language and duplicate it to the default language (via WPML features). Then delete the secondary language post and make sure the bug exists or not.

Please share a couple of screenshots or a screencast for a better understanding following one.

Have some taxonomies false settings in WPML? 

Shall I make troubleshoot with WPML?

Hi Eric,

This may be a compatibility issue. Please share the exact steps you are doing for the following.

deleting of a job with copies doesn't work in the frontend, only the main job is deleted, but not the copies

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the details. I can also reproduce the issue on the sandbox site. It looks like a compatibility issue or a feature request.

I will consult about this with our team for an expert opinion and get back to you as soon as possible. Please wait.

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the updates. We are getting the expected results in our local copy and the sandbox site after the following steps. Please try it after a full site backup {mandatory} and let us know your feedback.

1) Visit */wp-content/plugins/wp-job-manager/includes/* folder
2) Open the *class-job-dashboard-shortcode.php* file for edit
3) Scroll down to line number 466
4) Make the following changes and save the file

From

case 'delete':
// Trash it.
wp_trash_post( $job_id );

To

				case 'delete':
					// Trash it.
					// WPML workaround for compsupp-7729
					$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $job_id , 'post_job_listing' );
					$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, 'job_listing' );
					if ( !empty( $translations ) ) {
						foreach ( $translations as $lang => $translation ) {
							$translation_id = absint( $translation->element_id );
							wp_trash_post( $translation_id );
						}
					}

Please note that this workaround will delete translations, irrespective of the "When deleting a post, delete translations as well" option.
