WPML: wp_query() returns posts in all languages rather than just current one

2 Views

No matter whether I use it from my page in French version or in English version, wp_query() returns my custom post types in all languages, not just in the current one. Get_posts() does the same thing too.

When I visit my page in French, I want them to return CPTs in the current language only. How to achieve that?

  2. That’s the best way I found to fetch posts on a specific language using WPML…

    In my case I need to find a post by it’s title on a specific language and return the ID of the post:

    $lang='en';
$title='The title you are searching!';

    function getWpIdByTitle($title, $lang){
        global $sitepress;
        // WPML Super power language switcher...
        $sitepress->switch_lang( $lang );
        $args = array(
          'title'        => $title,
          'post_type'   => 'your-post-type', // Default: post
          'post_status' => 'publish',
          'suppress_filters' => false,
          'numberposts' => 1
        );
        $wp_query = new WP_Query( $args );
        return $wp_query->post->ID;
    }

    You may use the $wp_query->post as the result of the fetch and do the echo’s of title, content, etc.

    This way you don’t need to use the

    do_action( 'wpml_set_element_language_details', $set_language_args );

    to connect your language posts, neither the

    icl_object_id(1,'post',false,ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE);

    to get the ID of a post on a specific languange.
