[Resolved] Free Ad : Feature image doesn’t appear on translated version

When I posted a FREE AD on the Classifieds Reference Site (running WPML), the posting in English was perfect.
I uploaded a feature image and a couple of "gallery images".

However, when I checked the Spanish version, the gallery images were there but the feature image was blank.

BTW is there anyway to force users to upload images of certain dimensions and/or crop uploaded images to a preset size?
When images are all different heights and widths the layout doesn't look so good.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - with CRED form you can validate your image dimension using the CRED hook cred_form_validate so that user needs to upload the perfect dimension image and if user uploads different dimension image it will throw the error.

For example - something like this code - you can adjust the code as per your requirement:

function validate_featured_image_size( $field_data, $form_data ){
 
    $form_id = array( 9999); // add IDs of CRED forms
 
    $validate_width = 300; // Edit
    $validate_height = 200; // Edit
 
    if ( in_array( $form_data['id'], $form_id ) ) {
 
        // Split field data into field values and errors
        list( $fields,$errors ) = $field_data;
 
        $check = getimagesize( $fields['_featured_image']['value'] );
 
        if ( $check !== false ) {
 
            $width = $check[0];
            $height = $check[1];
 
            if ( $width != $validate_width || $height != $validate_height ) {
                $errors['_featured_image'] = "Image wrong size";
            }
        }
 
        $field_data = array($fields,$errors);
    }
 
    return $field_data;
}
add_action( 'cred_form_validate', 'validate_featured_image_size', 10, 2 );

Where:
- Replace 9999 with your original CRED form ID

OK. Thanks.
I will give this a try.

Actually you didn't answer the first part of the question.

The feature image isn't appearing on the translated version.

Any advice?

[Minesh]

Well - here is the Doc from WPML that will guide you how you can translate/copy media.

[PaulS4783]

Yes, but does this mean I can configure CRED / WPML so that FREE AD posts automatically get the feature image copied to the translated version?

[Minesh]

Yes - you should go to:
=> WPML => Media translation and checkmark the appropriate checkboxes and click on "Start" button.

And also click on "apply" button within the section "How to handle media for new content:" by making sure appropriate check boxes checked.

[PaulS4783]

OK. That sounds like it covers everything. thank you !!

[PaulS4783]

I set the media translation within WPML as suggested.
It successfully copied the feature image to translations on EXISTING content.

However, when I tested again by adding a new FREE listing, it didn't copy the feature image.
