WPML conflict with builders

Hi!

WPML and WPML String translation break my header and page builders. Another thread said it’s due to the site not using https. Mine is a sub domain dev site: http://dev.svartklubben.com

I was going to activate SSL once we go live.

Instead, should I start by activating SSL on the current old live site? http://www.svartklubben.com

Hello @Lobsterass,

Thanks for writing in!

Please ensure that the Site URL and WordPress address URL in Settings > General is the same as the url of your dashboard. If it doesn’t, you will need to force the urls by adding this lines in your wp-config.php file:

define('WP_HOME','http://dev.svartklubben.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://dev.svartklubben.com');

Make sure that the https or http protocol is the same too.

If this does not work, Wwould you mind providing us access to your site so that we can check your settings? Please create a secure note with the following info:
– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password

Hi!

I tried to add that to wp-config.php but it just makes builders totally unreachable with WPML activated.

Please feel free to check out http://dev.svartklubben.com/ with the logins provided in my secure note.

Please do NOT touch anything on their old site svartklubben.com.

Hi @Lobsterass,

To avoid having the problem I suggest that you use the recommended way with Pro and WPML and that is the Pro itself and not the String Translation.

Please, create a new page and use Pro to add stuff there. Then use the bottom right flag icon for the other language inside the Pro. Then Click copy the existing layout, this will copy the current page and set it for the other language. Now you can use Pro to go to the elements one by one and translate texts.

For the current pages, they are already linked with the String Translation and you can not do the method above. That is why I suggest that you use the Duplicate Post plugin to duplicate the current pages, that will make the newly duplicated pages unlinked and then you can use the same method I described above to do the translation without a problem.

Thank you.

Cool. That works! I wish the information about how to best use WPML with Pro would have been more visible in here. Perhaps I’ve just been blind, but I have totally missed the part about not using String Translation.

Happy now! Thanx!

You’re always welcome @Lobsterass!

Cheers.
