I'm setting up a woocommerce shop. It's in the food industry and I want to have custom fields added to the product page template. The shop will be in 2 languages (using WPML). There will be 2 wysisyg type custom fields (with the HTML editor of WordPress) and some other ones that might just number (like just a value). We will be using Divi for the theme.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I have created 2 demo site, all of them are a mess when trying to display the output and translating. Can you give me a short procedure on how to set up this up? It's really simple I know, but I must be doing something wrong in the setup because it's not working, either the custom fields aren't translated or are not displayed properly.
The problem I'm having right now is that the website is using english as main language and french as 2nd language.
If I edit the english version of the custom field, it erase the content of the custom field on the french version, but if I edit french first, english is ok ... still most people will edit english first and then french will be erased everytime ... I want both version of the customfield to be independant.
I already had a ticket that was escalated to WPML for this, but since It's something very simple, I was thinking maybe the origin of the problem is on how I have setup WordPress / Toolset / wpml for what I want to achieve, do you have a quick procedure I should follow ?
Yes it is, you are right, but I cannot wait for their debugging since they can't give an exact ETA ...
Could you guide me in setting up a new wordpress dev site with the basic theme, toolset, woocommerce and wpml with 1 custom field inserted in the product template that is being displayed on the frontend ?
I can guide you on how to setup this, however i suspect the same issue will occur when you introduce WPML to translate the custom field.
To get this clear even if the field is blank you would still want to translate it correct? Just to have the setup ready for when WPML fixes the issue ?
Ok, so I have created a new, fresh install of WordPress (using french as the main language). I have also installed woocommerce and Types. Nothing else.
Let me send you a username/password
I have also created a test product, no custom field yet
