Problem: If you're experiencing issues with the resume limit being incorrectly calculated as four times the desired amount due to WPML language settings, this might be due to the way the resume count function is coded in the WP Job Manager - Resume Manager plugin. Solution: We recommend modifying the
1
resume_manager_count_user_resumes
function within your plugin files. Specifically, us the workaround in the following comment:
This modification ensures that the resume count only includes original language posts, excluding translations, thus providing an accurate count per user. Take note, that the author is informed and will implement this fix in a future version of the plugin. If this solution does not resolve your issue or becomes outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with job listings visibility across different languages on their website. Specifically, jobs added in German (DE) are not visible in other languages, despite the site's standard language being English (EN). Solution: We explained that the behavior observed is expected due to the configuration settings: 1. The 'fallback to default language' feature functions only when the original post is in the default site language, which is English in this case. This means that for jobs posted in English, they will be visible in all languages without needing a translation. 2. For jobs posted in German, they need to be manually translated into other languages to be visible. We recommend using the Advanced Translation Editor for this purpose, where the automatic translation feature can help streamline the process. For detailed guidance on using this feature, please visit https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/advanced-translation-editor/#automatic-translation.

Problem: The client needed guidance on how to disable automatic translation for specific fields like the title and description in a job listing, and also inquired about the implications of setting a custom post type job_listing to "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language" versus "Translatable - only show translated items". Solution: To exclude the post title from the translation editor, we recommended following the workaround provided in this forum post. However, this involves custom code, and if the client is not comfortable implementing it, we suggested contacting one of our certified partners, which can be found here: WPML certified partners. Regarding the translation settings, using the fallback setting "Translatable - use translation if available or fallback to default language" will disable the automatic translation feature. This feature only works with the setting "Translatable - only show translated items", which also means that a job added in a secondary language won't appear in the job list when switching back to the default language, nor will the language switcher show other languages.

Problem: The client is trying to always retrieve the English slug names of a taxonomy for CSS purposes in different languages using the WPML plugin. They are using the
1
wpml_get_translated_slug
filter but are encountering issues where the slug is not consistently returned in English across different language settings. Solution: We advised the client to ensure they are using the correct parameters with the
1
wpml_get_translated_slug
filter. For retrieving the English version of a taxonomy slug, the code should look like this:
Additionally, we suggested checking the WPML > Settings > Taxonomy Translation to ensure that the English slug is correctly copied to other languages. If issues persist, we recommended testing the problem on a clean WordPress installation to isolate the issue. Further assistance with custom code, which is beyond WPML support scope, could be sought from certified WPML contractors, available here: https://wpml.org/contractors/

Problem: The client reported an issue with a large number of Elementor templates displayed incorrectly, showing 71 instead of the actual count. Additionally, there were problems with deleting a language and its associated content, which seemed to be stuck. Solution: We recommended the following steps: 1. Ensure a backup of the site is available. 2. Navigate to WPML > Support > troubleshooting and perform the following actions: - Synchronize posts taxonomies (select 'templates' from the dropdown). - Clear the cache in WPML. - Remove ghost entries from the translation tables. - Set language information. - Fix terms count. - Fix post type assignment for translations. 3. Clear the site and browser caches and check the issue again. 4. If the problem persists, check for errors in the browser console and enable WordPress Debug to log any PHP errors. For instructions on enabling WordPress debug, refer to https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/. 5. If issues continue, manually delete the templates by re-adding the language, navigating to 'Templates' in the specific language, and deleting them in bulk.

Problem: The client is using the GDPR plugin Complianz to add custom services that show placeholders in the Buddyboss streams. The client can set the name in the backend and translate it in WPML, but the translations are not displayed consistently across different languages. Only one language appears to be "activated" and is shown for all languages.
Solution: We informed the client that the feature they are looking for is not currently available within WPML settings. We also mentioned that creating a script to handle this feature would require custom coding, which is beyond the scope of our support services. We recommended that the client refer to our documentation for developers and provided links to the WPML Hooks API for further assistance:
The author of the plugin has confirmed that it is currently not working.

Problem: The client was unable to translate certain strings within their website.
Solution: First, we advised the client to search for the specific string they needed to translate:
1
You are not currently subscribed to any %s
We also suggested that if the strings were not appearing in the desired language, the client could rename the .po file to force the strings to display in English, making it easier to search for them.
We also instructed the client to scan for strings within the 'BuddyBoss Platform' plugin by navigating to WPML->Themes and Plugin Localizations -> Strings in the plugins, selecting 'BuddyBoss Platform', and clicking on 'Scan selected plugins for strings'. If the provided solution is not relevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
