I just updated the theme and Cornerstone. Now Polylang is not working properly: When I add English content to a translated post choosing the English language flag, the text in original post in Chinese is overwritten by the English post. All edits made in one post is automatically duplicated in both posts. Please help! I have used this theme, Cornerstone and Polylang for hundreds of posts, and would like to keep doing it.
Thanks.
Hey @wjwcindy,
Before I suggest a solution, please note that Polylang is not a supported plugin. With that said, this issue should be addressed by Polylang authors.
During major updates of Cornerstone, the underlying relationship IDs that link translations can occasionally get corrupted, causing the builder to view both translations as the same layout. We recommend the following steps to refresh this connection:
Open the English translation post in the WordPress editor.
In the Languages sidebar, find the “This is a translation of” dropdown and change it to --None-- (disconnecting it from the Chinese post).
Save/Update the post.
Open the English post in Cornerstone, make a very minor edit, and save.
Exit back to the WordPress dashboard.
Re-link the English post to the Chinese post by going back to the Languages box, selecting the Chinese post under “This is a translation of”, and saving.
Thank you, and I understand I may have to go to Polylang. But first I want to try your recommendations. When you say " In the Languages sidebar, find the “This is a translation of” dropdown and change it to --None-- (disconnecting it from the Chinese post)." do you mean the sidebar shown in enclosed screenshot? I don’t see “This is a translation of”** dropdown but I typed in --None--in place of the Chinese post title, and followed the rest of the steps. Nothing changed. I also typed None with same results. Am I missing “This is a translation of” somewhere in the WP editor?
The post I am using as a test is https://www.wangjingwei.org/?p=26512&preview=true and the translated post is https://www.wangjingwei.org/?p=26515&preview=true
