Hello,
I have a site with WPML, with 4 languages.
We have serveral corporate pages translated in each language, but we don’t want to translate or duplicate the posts, the posts are going to be just in english.

I know I can “duplicate” every post in every language, but I think it’s cleaner to use the option “show all post (show default language post if not translated)”, but it doesn’t work, when I select this option I get “Nothing to show right now” in the Blog page of not default language, and an empty list where I use the “Recent Posts” widget.

Is there a way to make it work in this way (not duplicating every post)?

thank you

Hi there,

Would you mind providing your login credentials as well? I’d like to test your settings 🙂

For the meantime, you may contact WPML support about this setting.

Thanks!

Hello There,

Thank you for the credentials. That is how it works by default. The query will just display the post for the current language. What you want to achieve will need some customization. Try adding this code on your child theme’s functions.php file.

function wpml_custom_query( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'suppress_filters', 'true' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'wpml_custom_query' );

Hello,

I tested that solution, but it’s a partial solution provided that with that code, when you are in english web version and you see a spahish post in the list, then you clic in that post, and then it changes your web interface language to spanish, because the link to the post is the link to the post in that language for the website interface. So it makes the user jumping language to language, very bad.

For the moment we are duplicating every post i every language.

thx

Hi there,

It’s WPML standard to duplicate posts to their specific language. There is no automatic translation for content, it has to be done manually.

Thanks.

Hi Lely. I’m having the same issue as llribas, where visiting the blog page in a language other than English doesn’t display any blog posts.

I’ve added the code you mentioned above, and that did display my English posts in the other languages, but it doesn’t display the archives widget.

So English users see all the posts, and can jump to a specific month using the Archives Widget. Other languages see the posts, but the archives widget doesn’t display.

Hi there,

You don’t have translated posts assigned to the translated category. Example, if you go to Admin > Posts > Categories and select French, you’ll see the Nouvelles category and it doesn’t have any posts (0 counts). The widget will only display categories that have posts on it.

And to confirm it, go to Admin > Posts and switch to French, there is no French posts either, which also makes no posts for French category.

As I mentioned above,

It’s WPML standard to duplicate posts to their specific language. There is no automatic translation for content, it has to be done manually.

Example, you have to duplicate an English post into a French post, and assign that French post to a French category.

Thanks.

The posts haven’t been translated due to the cost of doing so would be prohibitive for my client. WPML has a feature where they’ll show untranslated blog posts (WPML > Languages >
Blog posts to display) but it appears that the X Theme isn’t compatible with that feature.

Using the php above the blog posts display, is there any way I can get the Category Archives widget to work as well?

Hi there,

It’s not possible, those widgets are part of WordPress itself and filtered by WPML. You may want to contact WPML author in this case.

Thanks!
