Events Manager and WPML – copy English content – date and location missing

  • Hi,

    I have a bilingual site (English and French). When I translate the English event listing to French, and try to use WPML’s duplicate content from English feature to prefill the French form, it copies the title and body fine but does not copy the Location and Date. Any ideas on getting this to work?

    I also tried the Events Manager + WPML Compatibility plugin but there is a bug I’m encountering. It shares the date and location for both languages but when I am trying to create the French post for the first time, it I get an error saying that the location and date are not supplied.

    hi,

    just to narrow down the problem and help us debug the issue is it possible to try the following temporarily:

    – deactivating all other plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
    – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems

    Hi,

    I tried your suggestions but still get the same issue.

    I tested with the Events Manager and WPML plugin as it’s still required to make things more compatible.

    Here’s the message I’m getting when submitting a translated event post:

    “Your event details are incorrect and cannot be published, please correct these errors first:
    Dates must have correct formatting. Please use the date picker provided.
    Location name is required.
    The location address is required.
    The location town is required.
    The country is required.”

    that’s include temporarily reverting back to default wordpress theme? also, did you modify EM date/time format under Events > Settings > Formatting > Date/Time ?

    Correct, yes. It doesn’t work either on the Twenty Sixteen theme.

    I did change the Events > Settings >Formatting > Date/Time, yes.

    I was able to replicate this issue and already let the devs know about this.

    Hello.
    Any update on when could we get the fix for this issue?

    Thanks,

    Sorry, there’s no ETA on this at the moment.
