[Plugin: BuddyPress Multilingual] v1.4.0 broke WPML Language Selector

Same issues here!
I’m using exactly the same components like prock13 and have the same problem. I’m working on a two language site (german english)and the WPML Menu doesn’t translate the slug.

For example https://something.com/aktivitaeten comes to https://something.com/en/aktivitaeten not to https://something.com/en/activites how it should be.
The funny thing is that it works anyway but https://something.com/en/activites doesn’t work.

Unfortunately I am not getting any help and it’s still not working. I have a site for a major client in production and not working…

bschmidttraub….let me ask you…

When you are in the WordPress admin and go to Settings -> BuddyPress and select the pages tab.

Are you able to switch languages and select the pages for register, activate, members, etc?

I can do it for one language, but when I switch to the other language it seems to overwrite the previous language selection. So it’s like I can only have the pages defined in only language a ta time.

hi prock13,
yes -same for me. But I’m not shure if the plugin is meant to work this way. For me it works if I manualy edit the slug in second lang to be the same as the main language.

I know it’s not ideal but it works.

Another possible solution I found here: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/bpml-with-buddypress-1-6/
But it deals with bpml version 1.3. I haven’t testet it but maybe its a way out to manualy code the language switcher in the theme.

Hmm…so in the page definition you just have the slugs named the same for both languages? Let me try that. But I think the reason it works is cause the bug in the plugin is that it does not change the name of the page. Like in your example: https://something.com/aktivitaeten comes to https://something.com/en/aktivitaeten not to https://something.com/en/activites

I’m actually already doing something like in that post with the exception that I am not creating a UL list. I’m just listing the languages…My code looks like this:

function icl_post_languages(){
$languages = icl_get_languages(‘skip_missing=1’);
if(1 < count($languages)){
foreach($languages as $l){
if(!$l[‘active’]) $langs[] = ‘‘.$l[‘native_name’].’‘;
}
echo join(‘, ‘, $langs);
}
}

Hi prock13,
i’ve made a ticket on wpml.org: https://wpml.org/forums/topic/bpml-doesnt-work-with-wpml-language-switcher/#post-78863

Hi bschmidttraub,

I have the same issue. I have tried to get support form WPML but still waiting. Have you already solved this?

If so, I’d appreciate some help.

Danke! ??

Hi Julio,
no, not at all, the issue is still unsolved. But we actually do not need buddypress for this project.
But sorry – no news to that subject.

Bitte ??

Did you change to other software? I just visited your site (the one you published in the WPML forum) and looks like the issue is still there, isn’t it?

i was gonna buy wpml. i see no author support for this awesome plugin. If its not perfect I will wait. saved my money. thanks for reporting the issue hope he fixes it. I dont mind paying if i can help out the spanish members of my bp forums

same problem here

use version 1.3 instead. it works. just tested it

thank you netigate!
will try it

just an addition. 1.3 works with the groups, but not with the wall/activity of BP 1.6 and WordPress 3.5.

This still does not work for me even in 1.3…
