WPML Plugin doesn't work properly
9 replies · Started by Katharina on June 6, 2019
I use WPML and have few issues and WPML can not figure it out yet, I thought you can maybe find the issue.
As you can see in the screenshot

All translations made in Elements are not translated properly, like the Logo-bar is showing both languages on both language sites. The same is with all Elements.
Thanks

Hi Kati,
Do you have a language set in the WPML metabox in each Element?
Can you show me a screenshot of one of the Element settings?
Let me know :)
Thanks Tom,
here is a screenshot https://paste.pics/cc8661d1968ded2a04084296c2077a83
So is that the English Element? Have you duplicated it in another language using the WPML settings?
The original language is German and the screenshot is a English translation using WPML of the German Element.
I did set up a reproduction of my wordpress site on a WPML server and it works fine. I have the same settings, same Plugins. The only difference is that I use the child theme on my wordpress and I didn't use it on the WPML site.
What do i need to consider when I deactivate the child theme?
A child theme itself shouldn't cause any issues. Do you have any functions in your child theme functions.php file?
after disabling the child theme and most plugins I couldn't find out what the issue is. And WPML couldn't help either.
Since I haven't done much yet I decided to start over. I started completely from scratch without cloning my other website.
WPML seems to work now but I have some other issues with Generatepress now.
I want to copy all setting from my other Generatepress website but I noticed some differences in my Generatepress customizer.
-On missionfamily.de I can add a Navigation Logo and make it Sticky, I can't do it on test.katisiemens.com
-I have no Top bar on test.katisiemens.com
-Few settings look different on both customizer
Thanks
Kati
1. The Navigation Logo was deprecated in GPP 1.8. Check out the "Navigation as Header" section here: https://generatepress.com/gp-premium-1-8/
More info here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/navigation-as-a-header/
2. Have you added a widget into the Top Bar widget area?
3. Which settings?
Let me know :)
Thanks Tom,
It's now where I want it to be. Hopefully I will have no further issues with WPML
Great to hear :)
