Problem:
Product Attribute image not copied for translation in Vega theme.
Solution:
- Backup the website and database (important)
- Go to WPML -> Settings page , scroll to "Custom Fields Translation" section.
- Click on the "Show system fields" link and set the field "_xts_attribute_image" to copy.
- Add the following code to your theme functions.php file and replace the $taxonomy value "pa_color" in line 9 with the taxonomy/attribute name with the issue.
/**
* WPML Workaround for compsupp-6299
*/
add_action('wp_head', 'wpml_compsupp6299_replace_term_meta_on_translations');
function wpml_compsupp6299_replace_term_meta_on_translations() {
// Settings
$taxonomy = 'pa_color'; // Replace with the attribute taxonomy
$term_meta_key = '_xts_attribute_image'; //Replace with the term meta key
//Get Terms
$terms = get_terms(array(
'taxonomy' => $taxonomy,
'hide_empty' => false,
) );
echo '<div style="margin: 20px auto; border-radius: 20px; width: 800px; padding: 20px; border: 4px solid #ff0000;">';
foreach ( $terms as $term ) {
$term_meta_value = get_term_meta( $term->term_id, $term_meta_key, true );
//Get Translations
$taxonomy_wpml_key = 'tax_'.$taxonomy;
$trid = apply_filters( 'wpml_element_trid', NULL, $term->term_id, $taxonomy_wpml_key );
$translations = apply_filters( 'wpml_get_element_translations', NULL, $trid, $taxonomy_wpml_key);
foreach ($translations as $translation) {
$translation_id = intval($translation->element_id);
// Update term meta on translations with the meta value from the original term
if ($translation_id != $term->term_id ) {
update_term_meta( $translation_id, $term_meta_key, $term_meta_value );
echo '<h4>Term '.$translation_id.' updated.</h4>';
echo '<hr/>';
}
}
}
echo '<p>Please remove the workaround from the functions.php file.';
echo '</div>';
}
- Visit the site on front-end which will execute the code and the values from _xts_attribute_image term meta will be copied to the translations of the taxonomy/attributes.
- Do this for all Attribute names with the issue.
- Delete the code from the functions.php file.
[WP All Export] Exporting products taxonomies – missing WPML Translation ID field
Solution:
You are trying to export product attributes in 8 languages from one site and import them to another site. You must do that before importing any products with those attribute terms associated with them. You do not need to include the Term ID in the import file because the terms will get new IDs on the new site once the import is complete. So here are the steps you need to take.
1. Export terms in one language, then edit the file and add a unique identifier field/column to all terms.
2. Export terms in another language and edit the file to add a unique identifier field/column to all terms.
3. Import both files as per our standard procedure, explained in our guide here.
