Problem: The client is using Elementor and WooCommerce to display carousels with links to product attributes (brands) that are set to 'not translatable'. The links should link to the current language version, but WPML is altering them to the default language. The client wants these specific links to remain unchanged in the translated pages. Solution: We recommended adding a custom filter to the theme's functions.php file to prevent WPML from altering these specific links. Here is the code snippet to add:
This code will add the specified brand to a blacklist, preventing WPML from translating the URL. For more information on managing sticky links in WPML, visit WPML Sticky Links documentation.

Problem: You need to change the footer content of your DIVI theme and cannot find the footer template in the translation management page after modifying the default English content. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend checking the specific post types for your DIVI theme's footer, header, and body layouts directly in your WordPress admin area. You can access these areas using the following links:
Please visit the following URLs and check if you can translate the templates.
Footer: yourdomain/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=et_footer_layout
Header: yourdomain/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=et_header_layout
Body: yourdomain/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=et_body_layout

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the Custom 404 Pro plugin, even though translated following the rules, links to the Italian error page instead of the English one when switching languages. This causes the settings for the Italian page to be deleted. Solution: Since the Custom 404 Pro plugin is not officially compatible with WPML, we recommend adding the following custom code to the
functions.php
file in your theme folder:
add_action('template_redirect', function() {
global $wpdb;
// Define the custom table name
$table_options = $wpdb->prefix . 'custom_404_pro_options';
// Get the stored 404 page ID from the custom table
$page_id = $wpdb->get_var("SELECT value FROM $table_options WHERE name = 'mode_page'");
if (is_404() && $page_id && function_exists('icl_object_id')) {
$translated_page_id = icl_object_id($page_id, 'page', true);
if ($translated_page_id && $translated_page_id != $page_id) {
$translated_page_url = get_permalink($translated_page_id);
if ($translated_page_url) {
wp_redirect($translated_page_url, 302);
exit;
}
}
}
});

Problème : Le client a ajouté deux champs personnalisés aux variations de produits (Code article et Code CC) qui ne s'affichent pas dans l'éditeur de traduction. Ces champs ne sont pas gérés par ACF mais créés avec un script PHP dans le fichier functions.php. Solution : Nous avons recommandé de changer le statut de traduction de ces champs en « copy » au lieu de « translate » pour que WPML copie automatiquement ces champs lors de la traduction. Si les champs étaient gérés par ACF, il faudrait modifier le mode de traduction du groupe de champs personnalisés en « expert » via ACF pour ajuster les préférences de traduction pour chaque champ. Comme les champs sont créés via un script PHP personnalisé, nous avons fourni des liens vers la documentation et des ressources pour aider à configurer la traduction de champs créés de cette manière :

Problem: You have a Divi site with WPML and have translated a Divi layout. You want to change the text 'discover this product' to 'discover' but cannot find the string in WPML. Solution: First, we added a custom XML configuration to ensure WPML recognizes the specific shortcode used in your Divi layout. Here is the XML you should add in WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration:
If the custom XML configuration does not take effect, the issue might be with the language files. We recommend deleting the language file 'divi-machine-en_US.mo' from the /wp-content/languages/wpml folder. Please ensure to back up your site before making this change.
