Hi,
I need help understanding how Woodmart saves variation gallery images, because WPML support told me that the variation gallery is not saved as post meta, and therefore WPML cannot synchronize it between languages.
Issue description
I am using Woodmart theme with WooCommerce Multilingual (WPML).
When I duplicate a product from English to Arabic, the product itself is copied, but the variation image gallery is not synced.
After I update the English product and add images to each variation, the Arabic translation does not receive these images.
WPML support inspected my site and confirmed:
“The gallery images are not saved as post meta.
We need to know how Woodmart stores these images so we can register the correct meta key for syncing.”
What I need from you
Could you please tell me:
Where (in database or meta key) Woodmart stores the variation gallery images?
(For example: meta key name, custom table, JSON, taxonomy, or any other method)
What meta key or field WPML needs to synchronize for variation gallery to work correctly?
Is there a built-in Woodmart hook or function to retrieve/save variation gallery images?
Example product
English:
https://khwatergroup.com/product/abaya-nawwara/
Arabic:
https://khwatergroup.com/ar/product/abaya-nawwara/
Goal
I want to manage product images only in one language and have all variation images automatically updated in the translated versions.
Thank you!
