Reported for: Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual 2.1.4.2
Overview of the issue
When using Advanced Custom Fields with WPML, taxonomy fields assigned to custom post types may appear blank in secondary languages. This occurs despite setting the field to “Copy” or “Copy Once”.
Workaround
Please, make sure of having a full site backup of your site before proceeding.
- Open …/wp-content/plugins/acfml/classes/class-wpml-acf-worker.php file.
- Look for line 80.
- Replace:
1
$metaValue= get_metadata($metaType,$objectToId,$metaKey, true ); - With:
12
wp_cache_delete($objectToId,$metaType.'_meta');$metaValue= get_metadata($metaType,$objectToId,$metaKey, true );
Hi,
I realized that my class-wpml-acf-worker.php file is already have the
wp_cache_delete( $objectToId, $metaType. ‘_meta’ );
$metaValue = get_metadata( $metaType, $objectToId, $metaKey, true );
But I still cannot see the translated custom ACF taxonomies in my taxonomy filter list in my page.
What can be the problem?
Hello there,
Please ensure that the translation preference for the field is set to “Copy.” After that, try making a small edit to the original content (such as adding a space) and save it. This should trigger an update to the translation. Then, resave your translation and check if the issue is resolved.
If the problem persists, please feel free to open a chat, we’d be happy to take a closer look at the issue.
