WPML single post layout

Support
#1

I’ve created a single layout for a custom posttype. That custom posttype used a lot of ACF-fields for its content. Thanks to the amazing flexibility of Loopers, I’ve been able to create a very flexible way of generating content that’s easy to manage and shares a consistent layout. Hooray for Pro on this :partying_face:

The catch: WPML is not translating any single part of this Single Layout. Not the ACF-fields, but also not the text-elements of the single layout. Nothing.
After years of struggle with Pro / WPML, it looked like things got better after migrating from shortcode-storage to HTML-storage, but as it turns out I’m running into issues now I’ve started using a Pro Single Layout.

I’ve also created an archive-layout for this CPT, which shows similar issues.

I’ve shared the real world example in a private note, but I’d be happy to share the solution as a public post, hoping this might help others in the future.

Hello @dhunink,

Thanks for writing in!

You need to translate your custom single layout as well.

  • See the screenshot below

Even if you have translated your custom post item, like the arcade cabinet, since it is using the custom single layout, that layout must be translated too.

Hope this makes sense.
