Types and WPML – How to manage post categories

Hi there,

I’m using two powerfull plugins to build my multilingual website : WPML and Types

WPML allow me to translate content and Types allow me to create custom fields, custom posts and custom taxonomies.

Here is my problem :

I already have many published posts classified in an already existing wordpress category : products

I’ve recently discovered the great plugin ‘Types’ and after installing, I’ve created a new custom post type named “Products” in order to display some custom fields.

The issue is that when I create a new post using this new post type, it does not allow me to classify it in my existing categories. When I edit the post, I don’t see the “category menu” on the right.

Moreover, It seems that giving the custom post type the same name than my existing category creates conflicts in the urls.

My current category with many posts in : products
My new custom post type : products

My goal is simple, I need to move all my existing posts in the freshly created custom post type with keeping the category “products” on them.

I don’t know if I explained well but I really need help from you guys ??

Thanks a lot !
