Problem: You are experiencing an issue where accessing a specific product page on your WordPress site using WPML redirects you to an unexpected page. Solution: We have identified that this redirection is caused by the WordPress core, not by WPML plugins. To resolve this, we recommend editing the product page and modifying the slug. Here is a step-by-step guide: 1. Go to the product page: /it/shop/cellulari-ricambi-phone-parts/motorola/81700/ (in Italian). 2. Change the slug from '81700' to '81700-it'. This modification should prevent the WordPress core from executing the unwanted redirection.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where changing a product's status to 'draft' in the default language (Italian) does not automatically sync the status to additional languages (English/Chinese) on your multilingual site, we have a solution for you. Solution: We recommend adding a custom code snippet to your theme's functions.php file to synchronize the publish status across all languages. Here's how you can do it:
function sync_publish_status_across_languages($post_id) {
// Check if this is a valid post type (product) and that the post is not being autosaved
if (defined('DOING_AUTOSAVE') && DOING_AUTOSAVE) return;
if ('product' != get_post_type($post_id)) return; // Check for WooCommerce product post type
// Get the current post status
$post_status = get_post_status($post_id);
// Get the default language
$default_language = apply_filters('wpml_default_language', null);
// Get all translations of the post in different languages
$translations = apply_filters('wpml_get_element_translations', null, $post_id, 'product'); // Updated for products
foreach ($translations as $lang => $translation) {
// Skip the default language post (we don't want to update it)
if ($lang === $default_language) continue;
// Get the translation post ID
$translation_post_id = $translation->element_id;
// Update the publish status of the translated post
wp_update_post(array(
'ID' => $translation_post_id,
'post_status' => $post_status
));
}
}
add_action('save_post', 'sync_publish_status_across_languages');
