Page settings not copied to translation when using WPMLs automatic translation

I am using WPML to automatically translate my content. I have a german page where I disabled the sidebar in the page settings. When I translate that page (automatically) into English, this setting is not being reflected. This breaks my layout in every translation.

Please note that I want to use the sidebar on some pages, so I cannot disable the sidebar globally in theme settings.

Hi david,

Thanks for reaching to us.

Please refer to the article for more details: https://xtemos.com/docs-topic/how-to-make-woodmart-multilingual-with-wpml/

Hi,

this does not solve my problem. I guess that the Woodmart page settings are created as custom fields and I have to go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation? If so, what is the name that I have to search for and which I have to set to “Copy”?

Or is this approach wrong?

Hi david,

To assist you in the best possible manner, I kindly ask that you please provide me temporary wp-admin info (wp-admin URL, username, password) to the Private Content area, this will allow me to thoroughly investigate and address your concerns more efficiently.

The site is currently in a critical phase and is about to go online. Is it possible for you to help me without access?

Hi david,

It’s hard to know the root cause by viewing front-end only. You can put details in Private section, no one sees it.

I have found out how to at least include the setting for the title in the translation. And I don’t think admin access would have been necessary for this.

For all those who have the same problem:
Under WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation click on “Show system fields” and set the custom field “_woodmart_title_off” to “copy”.

However, I cannot find the custom field that is responsible for the “Sidebar Without” setting. Can you please tell me which custom field I need to look for?

Hi david,

Thanks for your patience.

Please try content_full_width field and check again.

Regards,

Thank you, but content_full_width is not working. It must be something else. Can you test it yourself? Does it work on your end? You can find my test url in the extra information field.

Hi david,

That is the field I checked, otherwise, in order to assist you in the best possible manner, I kindly ask that you please provide me temporary wp-admin info (wp-admin URL, username, password) to the Private Content area, this will allow me to thoroughly investigate and address your concerns more efficiently.

Private section no one can sees it.
