Problem: You are duplicating your blog posts, but images, including the featured image and images added within the WordPress editor, are not duplicating correctly in the French version. They appear as broken links. Solution: First, ensure you have backed up your database. Then, in WPML's media translation settings, select the options to "Duplicate texts (alt, caption, title) for all media to all languages" and "Duplicate image texts (alt, caption, title) for all feature images to all languages". Start the duplication process after these settings. It's important to note that WPML does not duplicate the image files themselves but the media texts associated with them after translation. For more details on how WPML handles media translation, you can visit the following links:
Additionally, WPML is fully compatible with the Filebird plugin, which can be integrated as per the documentation here: Filebird and WPML Integration

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with missing fields when duplicating a page or blog post in the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), or if certain fields are locked and marked as 'this field is copied from the default language,' and you need to edit titles and descriptions that are synced with the default language. Solution: We recommend deciding on a single translation method, either ATE or manual translation, for your Advanced Custom Fields (ACF). You should not mix these methods. For each ACF field group, set the correct translation option: 1. Use the ACFML addon. 2. Edit each ACF group and choose the appropriate translation mode: - Same Fields Across Languages for ATE. - Different Fields Across Languages for manual translation. This setup will ensure that ACFML/WPML correctly syncs and sets the custom fields across your website. For detailed guidance, please refer to the documentation on How to Translate ACF Fields with WPML.
