On a page/post I can copy the Advanced Custom Fields with content to the translated page but when I edit the translated page it always gets overwritten by the Advanced Custom Fields content from the default language page.
Trying to achieve:
I need to copy content with Custom Fields from a default language post to a translated language post, and then edit each language’s content independently.
On every other project it just works fine that wayâ¦
I’ve already tried:
-
Solving some database errors – no success
-
Changing the execution order for WPML and ACF – no success
-
Deleting WPML completely and deactivating ACF and all other plugins.
then install WPML first and activate ACF again – no success. -
Tried every possible combination of settings in both plugins available –
no success -
After setting âtranslateâ for âfield groupsâ and âdo nothingâ for âfieldsâ at WPML options. I can now create independent custom fields for the translation with independent field_names. Saving here works, but I can’t copy content from the default page to translated page. So this is a partial success
Next Steps
- Downgrade ACF to an earlier version.
- Same as step three from above but instead of reinstalling WPML, i reinstall ACF and activate it first of all.
versions:
- wpml: 3.1.7.2
- acf: 5.0.9
- wordpress: 4.0
I’ve also posted this issue in the acf support forum.
If anybody also has this issue, I was able to solve it after talking to a developer at ACF.
