Problem: If you're experiencing issues with being redirected to the homepage when trying to enter product categories in the German version of your website, it might be due to incorrect translation settings. Solution: We recommend checking the translation of your category slugs in WPML. Here's how you can fix it: 1. Go to WPML → String Translation. 2. Search for 'product-category' and check its translation. 3. Ensure that the translation matches the expected slug in the URL (e.g., 'produkt-kategorie' for German). 4. Correct the translation if necessary to ensure it aligns with your URL structure.

Problem: You are trying to translate WooCommerce products using WPML and want the translated versions to automatically update when modifications are made to the original products, such as price changes or variations. However, the changes to the original products are not automatically syncing to the translated versions. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML → Taxonomy Translation, select the attribute you want to synchronize, and run the 'Synchronize attributes and update product variations' option. 2. Go to WooCommerce → WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce → Status, click on the Troubleshooting link at the bottom, and execute the appropriate troubleshooting options. Remember to back up your database before making any changes.
Regarding your query about SKUs, the original product and its translations share the same SKU. This is because WPML treats them as language variants of the same item, not as separate products. Therefore, you should not encounter issues with duplicate SKUs when using WPML.

Problem: The client is facing an issue where the correct variation options (50 ml and 250 ml packaging) are not displaying on the Lithuanian version of a variable product page. Instead, only a placeholder 'Pasirinkite parinktį' appears. This issue occurs when the Lithuanian product is connected as a translation of the English product. Despite the attribute terms for 50 ml and 250 ml existing in all languages and appearing translated in the admin, the dropdown fails to show the correct options.
Solution: We recommend the following steps to address the issue: 1. Run WPML and WooCommerce Multilingual (WCML) Troubleshooting Tools: - Navigate to WPML → Support → Troubleshooting and run the relevant options, particularly those related to synchronization. - Go to WooCommerce → WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency → Settings, find the 'Troubleshooting' link at the bottom right, and run synchronization tools for product attributes and variations. 2. Clear all caches including any caching plugins, server cache, and browser cache. 3. Manually refresh product attributes and trigger a translation update: - Edit the product in its original language (English), go to the Product data section, then the Attributes tab, resave the product attributes. - Make a temporary edit to the product description, save the product, and update the translation. 4. Update translations using the WPML → Translation Dashboard. 5. After the translation is updated, remove any temporary changes made to the product description, save the product again, and update its translation if necessary. 6. Verify if the Lithuanian product page now displays the correct variation options.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may require a deeper investigation into the database or further technical intervention.

Problem: After updating to version 5.5.3, you are encountering a fatal error on the payment page when making a payment in a language different from the original. The error is related to the 'woo-stripe-payment' plugin where it fails to get the currency from an order object, which turns out to be false. Solution: If the issue persists, try disabling and re-enabling your theme, as this approach resolved the issue. Additionally, ensure that your theme and all plugins are updated to their latest versions.

Problem: You are trying to apply a bulk discount to a variable product's variation prices in WooCommerce, but the change does not apply to the second language on your site. Solution: First, ensure that you update the original product after changing the prices in bulk. In our tests, after bulk updating and saving the original product, the prices appeared synced across translations. Unfortunately, WooCommerce does not provide a global 'Bulk' option for variation prices at Products > All products. You only need to save the original product, and the changes should apply automatically to the translation. If this workflow does not resolve the issue for a specific product, please provide an example of the product where it fails.
