Translate button not doing anything

Hi schalipp,
what did the trick for me: if you copy the API code from Deepl, it adds a space in front of the code. Once I removed that, it worked – although not like a charm, the pictures were not where they were supposed to be.
Hope that helps,
Dietmar

PS: With another article, the pictures were all right, though…

Hi, thanks for answering. I checked, but there is no accidentially copied space in front or at the back our API key, it has the correct format. But when we click on the translate button, the icon just keeps spinning. No error message, no translation, nothing.

Problem is still unresolved. Maybe the developer can help us? Is this plugin actively supported?

Solved. The plugin as it is, is not compatible with current wordpress versions. I have found the bug and corrected it. If anyone else needs this:

The error is in “/wp-content/plugins/wpdeepl/classes/deeplapi.php”.
The method “buildQuery” was not building the post request conforming to WordPress API standards. Here is the fix:

protected function buildQuery( $mode = ‘POST’ )
{
…
if ( $mode == ‘POST’ ) {
/* POST body has to be an array and NOT a queryString */
//$args[‘body’] = http_build_query( $request );
$args[‘body’] = $request;
} else {
$args[‘query’] = http_build_query( $request );
}
…
}

@schalipp thanks for finding the bug. Your fix was included in today’s release
