Problem: You are working on a multilingual WordPress site using WPML and trying to adjust the author_base URL slug based on the user's language. You want different slugs for each supported language (English, Spanish, German, Dutch). However, changing author_base requires flushing the rewrite rules, which sets it for all languages until it is saved again in another language.
Solution: We recommend using the wpml_current_language filter to dynamically fetch the current language. Implement this by replacing your current language detection with:
apply_filters('wpml_current_language', NULL);
Ensure to flush rewrite rules only when necessary to minimize performance impact. This can be done by checking if the current language setting has changed compared to the last saved setting in the WordPress options. If they match, there is no need to flush the rewrite rules. If they do not match, update the
author_base
, flush the rewrite rules, and update the saved option to reflect the new current language.

Problem: The client is unable to reschedule the translation of an unpublished post because the date is locked and indicates that it's a copy of the original. Solution: We recommend unchecking the "Copy publishing date to translations" option. You can find this setting by navigating to WPML >> Settings. Once you uncheck this option, you should be able to change the publishing date of the translation independently from the original post.
