YARPP and WPML, not showing on second language

I am currently working relaunching a bilingual website that I just migrated to WPML and was planning to implement related posts via YARPP as well.

I can offer some testing next week, let me know if I can help.

Thank you for the great plugins!

Update: I’ve installed YARPP 4.0.6 along with WPML 2.9.1 and it works OOTB as far as “language separation” is concerned — i.e. related German posts are shown on German posts and related English posts are shown on English posts.

However, the related post generation for the secondary language (English in my case) seems to stall somewhere after the first page load and the related posts shown are the same on every other post (it would even show a link to the current post).

When I change the maximum number of related posts and save the settings, it seems to re-generate related posts on the first page load (they change), but then it keeps showing the new de-facto static set of related posts again all over the place.

Same with YARPP 4.0.7b1 BTW.

Hope this helps!

Just wanted to share a quick workaround: If you’re using a custom php template, you can wrap the part that displays the related posts in a conditional statement that checks if the current language is the primary language.

Your modified yarpp-template-multilingual.php would look like this:

<?php
/*
YARPP Template: Multilingual
Description: An example template for use with the WPML and Polylang plugins
Author: mitcho (Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine)
*/

if (function_exists("icl_register_string")) {
	icl_register_string("Yet Another Related Posts Plugin", "related posts header", "Related Posts");
	icl_register_string("Yet Another Related Posts Plugin", "no related posts message", "No related posts.");
} ?>

<?php if(ICL_LANGUAGE_CODE=='en') :?>
	<h3><?php echo (function_exists("icl_t") ? icl_t("Yet Another Related Posts Plugin", "related posts header", "Related Posts") : "Related Posts") ?></h3>
	<?php if (have_posts()):?>
	<ol>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
		<?php endwhile; ?>
	</ol>
	<?php else: ?>
	<p><?php echo (function_exists("icl_t") ? icl_t("Yet Another Related Posts Plugin", "no related posts message", "No related posts.") : "No related posts.") ?></p>
	<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Change the language code to your primary language and you’ll have at least properly working related posts on your primary language and nothing bad on the secondary languages.
