Hello I have a custom post type: "Raccomandazioni Professionista"
I have created the layout and it works correctly.
I now added the second language (english) with WPML and when I open a Raccomandazione Professionista type post it do not use the layout I made.
How can I extend the layout of the forst language (italian) to the second (english)?

Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

You can switch the different layout on fly using the Layout hook: get_layout_id_for_render

For example:

add_filter('get_layout_id_for_render', 'func_assign_layout_by_language', 10, 2);
function func_assign_layout_by_language( $id, $layout ){
        global $post;
        
        $current_language = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', NULL );
         
 
        if(   $current_language ==  'en' && $post->post_type === 'raccomandazioni-professionista' ){
            return 99999;
        }
 
        return $id;
    }

Where:
- Replace 99999 with your english language layout ID you want to assign
- Replace post type slug if needed.

Actually it not worked...

That is really strange. Can you please share access details and tell me what Layout you want to use with English language and for another language.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Sorry but Can you please tell me what layout you want to display with IT language version post and what layout you want to display with En language version post.

[cristianoT]

Sorry,
I want to show the same layout on raccomandazioni-prof for both language.

In italian it works fine:
hidden link

In english don't...

[Minesh]

Ok - so you want to assign the same layout.

If you check the following layout which is already assigned to "italian" language.
hidden link

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database***
At the bottom of the above layout - you will see the button "Use this layout for 235 Raccomandazioni professionista " what if you click on that?

[cristianoT]

I cannot see the button you are talking about...

[Minesh]

That is strange.

With the following link you should find that button on the bottom of the page;
=> hidden link

Can you please check the following screenshot: hidden link

Do you see it?

[cristianoT]

Sorry, but this is what I see

[Minesh]

Ok - I do not know why.

Ok - there is another way as well.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database***
Click on the button "Change how this layout is used" and checkmark the checkbox "Aggiorna tutto per usare questo layout" and click on the Update button.

Please see the following screenshot: hidden link

Basically, by doing this, it will assign the "Layout for Raccomandazioni professionista" layout to all your existing posts of post type "Raccomandazioni professionista".

[cristianoT]

I'm really sorry but nothing changed...
Maybe I have something wrong with the WPML configuration?

[Minesh]

Can you please confirm you took database backup and I will try to perform the action from this end.

[cristianoT]

Go ahead I have done it (FTP and DB)

thanks

[Minesh]

Ok - I've performed the action and I can see now with EN language post the layout is assigned:
=> hidden link
