[Plugin: Meteor Slides] meteor and WPML multi language software

Hi, how are you adding the slideshow? Are you using the template tag or the shortcode?

Do you have it added to both the English and Hebrew content, same slideshow or a different one for each? If you are using multiple slideshows, check out this post and see if you might be having a similar problem: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/meteor-slides-and-wpml-multilingual-cms-problem?replies=8#post-1786111

I am using thesis and have added it as a hook below the header. The code I used is below:

<div style=”background-image: url(https://www.makorhatikvah.org/thesis_images/content_top.jpg); height: 220px; width: 100%;”><?php if ( function_exists( ‘meteor_slideshow’ ) ) { meteor_slideshow(); } ?></div>

Thanks
PS Sorry I seem to have resubmitted the post so the same question will appear again. I don’t see how to delete though.

The template tag should load the slideshow regardless of the language, I can see that the slideshow is loading on the Hebrew page, but no slides are loading.

I think the issue is that the slides you have added are seen as “English” content, and there is no Hebrew equivalent for the slides so it is loading nothing.

There should be a couple of options you could choose from to fix this. You could setup different slides for each language, if the slides have text and you need different slides for each. The other option would be to set it up to use the English content for each language. Otherwise, I think in WPML you have the option on the settings to disable translation on specific post types, like slides so that you can use them sitewide.

Thanks so much for your help. I did have translate ticked on each slide. Once I took this off the slide came through.

I guess I did not really understand what I was doing when I clicked on translate.

No problem Jeremy, glad to hear you got it figured out!
