WMML Compatibility

    Hi, we are running our website in 3 languages, each with its own domain, based on WP using WPML:

    https://www.casasmundiales.com
    https://www.casasmundiales.es
    https://www.casasmundiales.de

    On top of the backend there is the WPML language selector determining which content to display.
    Even if we are choosing one of the 3 languages, the content and settings at SSO backend is always the same, respecting the english content, like e.g.:

    Site Name (en_US)
    Site Description (en_US)
    Facebook Business Page URL

    We would like to change this and other settings for each language and its URL. So that e.g. “Site Description (en_US)” for the english site https://www.casasmundiales.com is different from German one https://www.casasmundiales.de and also each language is referring it′s own Facebook Business Page URL etc.

    How can we manage this?

    Plugin looks good and we like it. We would like to purchase the pro version, that′s the last hint we have to manage before we might decide for the pro version.

    In advance thank you for any help!

    Sorry, but the dynamic locale feature is a Pro version feature… It’s easy to miss in the long list of Pro version features listed in the description. ??

    Customizable multilingual / multi-language Site Title and Site Description texts.

    FYI – The “Facebook Business Page URL” value is not locale-aware, but that’s a good suggestion. ??

    BTW, I’m not sure if WPML has a language switcher for the admin back-end. Have a look at Polylang – it works with WPML and I know it has a language switcher in the back-end (to change the working locale).

    The upcoming v3.27.0 release will include locale options for social site URLs as well (thanks for the suggestion). ??

    Hi JS,
    thank you for detailed feedback and sorry for delay from my end.

    Just to let you know, I have purchased 3 pro licences.

    As I told you, we are running the site on 3 URL′s in 3 different languages and I want to add 3different Facebook Business Page URL, Google+ Business Page URL etc., for each language a separate reference.

    It′s not possible at the moment. So please find this message as suggestion or feature request, for sure there are a lot of WPML or Polylang users looking for a feature like this. Even from my case if this is working well it′s not a problem to purchase a licence for each single language used by this site.

    To prevent from missunderstandings please have a look at this screenshots:

    Pro version licensing and WP locale switching are two different things… Let me explain a bit more…

    – Pro version licenses are per site, so if you have one site, you need only one license. A “site” is determined by the WordPress Site Address value under the WordPress General settings page. If you load-balance a single site on several servers, they will all have the same WordPress Site Address, which means you only need one license. If you use multiple / different WordPress Site Addresses on several WordPress installations, then you need multiple licenses (multisite setups are a good example of this).

    – Some option values, like the Site Name, Site Description, Facebook Page URL, etc. can change with the locale. As you change the wp-admin locale, you can enter different values for that locale. A good example of this is Polylang which offers you a drop-down to switch languages. As you switch languages (ie. the WP locale), the value of those options will change as well. WPSSO will then use those values on the front-end, depending on the locale / language used for the webpage.

    So, make sure WPML can switch the wp-admin locale, and if not, give Polylang a try (it works with WPML too).

    I’ve requested Developer status with the WPML team to see if I can integrate WPSSO with WPML a bit better – we’ll see. ??
