Hello, I duplicated a site and ended up with the the same Translation ID on both. I was able to fix that I think, they now each have a different ID, but they still seem to share the same translations. How do I fix that ?
Reference to our recent chat, you got d/c while I waited for your reply for some time. However, meanwhile this ticket is attended by our support, can you try deactivating all other plugins except WPML, then switch to the default theme, clear all caches and try these troubleshooting options (https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-troubleshooting-options/)?
IMPORTANT: Please take full backup of your website and database beforehand.
This may not be an ideal one, but may be a conflict causing not to sync the sites properly.
I have a few questions, as I do not understand yet what it is that you are trying to achieve:
Let me sum up, to understand better:
1) You create a new clone of your site.
- If so, then this would mean that you are using the same database as before and it is expected that in this case, all contents will still have the same post ID and translation IDs.
2) You did "something" to change the content's translation IDs.
- I can not recommend that you take direct action on the database.
With WPML all your content remains on the wp_posts table (original content and translations). The WordPress post_id indicates for WPML the source of the original content and then connects to the post_id of a translation while using custom tables, that use their unique translation IDs for Translation Management.
If you want to create complete new translations, you can manually delete all translated content from your site.
3) I suppose, that even after deleting the content, once you open the WPML Translation Editor you might still see the old translations, correct?
- The WPML Advanced Translation Editor is running on an external server and has a translation memory for your existing and already translated content.
If you do not want to use this translation memory on your new site, I can offer to reset the translation memory for your account on our system.
Best regards
Andreas
