And here update on issue 2.

It is possible to add new tags in ‘Quick Edit’ mode.
Still not possible to add tags in normal ‘Edit’ mode.

regards,

ok, update on issue no 1.

Even though the URLs are the same the result is different. THis is the comparison of what happens:

Workflow A.
– I open the post P1 (in Language L1) and click on the ‘Add new’ button to add translation.
– I am redirected to the blank new post screen where I can add translated content = post P2.
– the ID field is blank
– once I publish the P2, there is no link to P1.

Workflow B.
– I open the post P1 (in Language L1) and click on the ‘Update’ button
– I go back to the list of all posts and can see that now my just updated post P1 has a pencil and + sign
– I click on the + sign
– I am redirected to the blank new post screen where I can add translated content = post P2.
– HERE is THE DIFFERENCE – the ID field has the ID number of post P1
– once I publish the P2, THERE IS link to P1 – two pencils visible

Hello,

1. On the first issue of URLs behind ‘add new’ and + sign they are indeed exactly the same. It must have been something different I did that gave me 2 different results. I will fiddle with adding translations (still have 400 posts to translate) and report back here if I find anything

2. On the second issue, I changed the script as advised:

// jQuery('input.newtag').addClass('polylang-newtag');
// jQuery('input.newtag').removeClass('newtag');

This however did not fix the issue of ‘undefined’ tag appearing.

Adding a new tag to either original (P1) or translated (P2) posts is still not possible either. I can type a new tag name in the tag field. It appears on the list if it is already in the system. However when I click ‘Add’ button, ‘undefined’ tag is added instead of the one I typed in.

no it does not. I hoped that by using this ‘add new’ link next to the blank ID field of P1 I will be able not only to add new P2 (translated post) but also have it already linked as it would be added from within the P1.

I also noticed that I keep getting a new tag ‘undefined’ added to all posts I link. This is the process I follow:
1. I open existing P1 post and click ‘Update’
2. I bring up the list of ‘All post’ and can now see a pencil and + icon next to P1
3. I click on the +
4. I add translated post P2. I can see fields like category, tags and also ID is pre-populated and correct.
5. I ‘Publish’ P2
6. I can now see in the ‘All posts’ view that a new tag – ‘undefined’ – appeared both in P1 and P2.

I tried to add translation to P1 by using a link ‘add new’ next to the ID field. THis works like ‘Add new’ post but once the new post (P2) is added it does not link P1 and P2.

regards,

Thanks Chouby. I found that it is troubling when you try to add L2 post first and then link to the L1.

When you go to L1 post first (as described in my another post on this forum) and update it then you can easily add the L2 translation by clicking on + sign.

Nevertheless it is a bit different scenario.

I think I will try to carry on with the second workflow I described for the time being before blanking the code.

I find it easier to go and edit existing post in L1 and confirm its L1 language. so basically ‘edit’ it and ‘update’ as is. The + icon then shows and I add a translation in L2 by clicking the + sign.

Everything links automatically: IDs, tags, etc

regards,

when I say I cannot add tags I mean that I can type them in but the ‘Add’ tag button does not perform any action

Well. I do not what happened but I can see both the pencils and + signs.

Perhaps I had to log out from the WP dashboard after upgrading to version 0.7 and log back in in order to see the icons (to have the .css file loaded up properly)?

regards,

I can see that there are 2 files: admin.css and icons.png in the folder wp-content/plugins/polylang/css

How can I check if it loads correctly?

OK. This is what I did:
– exported (wp_termmeta) from my test database as .sql file
– in WordPad I deleted all data, and left only table structure
– imported it to my live database

It did the job!
Everything seems to be working fine now. I can see pencils and + signs next to category and tag names once I ‘update’ them.

Chouby many thanks for your help.

It is interesting however why this table did not install in the first place. As you might remember with my test site I as experimenting with different bilingual plugins when I came across the same issue with Polylang. I then did the fresh install of WP, and only then it started to work as far as I remember. So it is entirely possible that the very same table had been missing in the first place?

Anyway, it is a super plugin and thank you for it.
Looking forward to v0.7

regards,
Peter

do you think manual export of the table (wp_termmeta) from my test site and then import to live will do the job?

I use Polylang 0.6.1. and WP 3.3.1

I use cPanel so I have phpMyAdmin.
Just check and you are correct – there is no table (wp_termmeta).
Also checked my test site and this table is there.

Any ideas how to rectify my live site?

Many thanks Chouby.

Neither English or Polish category shows a pencil or a + sign.
All have English as their language. When I change English to Polish language in Polish category and Update this change does not seem to be implemented. When I Edit this Polish category again I can see it is still English.

I tried to edit English category. Same as described above.
I also deactivated and reactivated the plug-in but it made no change unfortunately.

Most bizarre because I had the same issue with my test site but then the problem suddenly disappeared and the test site works without no problems.
