[Plugin: Polylang] Empty per-page-gallery after upgrade to 0.9.0

It should be linked to this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/no-posts-found-no-pages-found-with-polylang-09

Can you try the development version?

And then play at least one time with the new language filter in the admin bar.

Thanks for your fast reply!

The development version fixed it a bit…

On existing pages, the gallery remains broken

When i create a new page with a new gallery, it works

When i add new images to the gallery of an existing page, it doesn’t fix it…

I did switch the language filter in all possible ways…

thanks
Martijn.

So it means that up to now, you did not have multilingual captions and descriptions for your media. Maybe it is better to go on like this by setting:

define('PLL_MEDIA_SUPPORT', false);

in wp-config.php
(More info at the end of the documentation)

Greetings Chouby.

I noticed this problem too, after upgrading to 0.9.1.
Tried the latest development version (0.9.13), but the problem persists:

When clicking the add media button (Upload/Insert) inside “Edit Post/Page” no images are shown. If I go to the “Media” section, edit a image and just click “Update Media”, the default language gets set. Then if I go to “Edit Post” and click the add media button, that image is the only one that appears (if the language of the media matches the language of the post).

I understand where you are going, making the media “language aware”. But there should be an option in the “add media modal window”, allowing to show all media/images, regardless of the language they are set.

Otherwise, people with existing sites, will have no way of adding media to their posts.

Also, there could be a feature/button in the plugin settings page which when clicked would set the language for all media according to this:

• if the media is attached to a particular post, set it to the same language
• if the media is unattached, set it to the default language

But the option for showing all media regardless of language should also exist, because we may want to use the same image for posts in different languages.

Right now I have no time, but I may try to look at it, next week.

Regards.

• if the media is attached to a particular post, set it to the same language
• if the media is unattached, set it to the default language>

In fact, it works like this…

When you upload a new media from the library, its language default to the user preferred language (ie the language selected in the admin toolbar on top, which defaults to default language if “all languages” is selected).

When you upload a new media from a post, its language defaults to post language. There is however an issue. It does work only if the post is saved after switching the language. I will see if I can improve this in the future.

I already answered to the request to see the media with no languages together with the media in one language: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-polylang-images-and-most-recent-version-of-polylang?replies=8#post-3176376

Yes, I know it does. I mentioned this feature so people upgrading to this new version could have all their already existing images default to some language.
What’s happening now is: you upgrade and then go to a post and try to insert a existing image, but the list is empty.

But when you get the issue solved (see the media with no languages together with the media in one language), that won’t be a problem.
And yes, i know i can set PLL_MEDIA_SUPPORT to false.

Tnak you Chouby and keep it up ??

should now be solved in the latest development version.

PLL_MEDIA_SUPPORT will be transferred to ui in the next major release to make things easier.

But when you get the issue solved (see the media with no languages together with the media in one language), that won’t be a problem.
And yes, i know i can set PLL_MEDIA_SUPPORT to false.

I find it not easy to make a query which return posts with no value in a given taxonomy + posts which have a given value in that taxonomy. I am not sure that what I made in https://pastebin.com/bsEM0P2R is very efficient…

I never told you that you solved my problem ??

I did not set the PLL_MEDIA_SUPPORT flag to false, i just entered the media library and made sure that all images have the language set correctly.

Still thinking that this issue should be solved more elegantly though, not by a flag that disables a (new?) feature ??

thanks anyway for the help and this great plug-in!

btw i’m on 0.9.2 now, flawless update, great ??

on a side note, LOVE this plugin!!
I searched so long for a good language plugin, this is it!! ??
