Polylang and ACF

  • Hello,
    I use ACF plugin for create custom fields only for pages that have a specific page as parent.
    When I try to add translation of these pages, I don’t see my custom fields but only standard editor field.
    I need to find a way to have these fields also into translations post.
    The post translation of a page should inherit the custom fields of the original page.
    It’s possible?
    Thanks

    Hi

    Did you try the Language option for ACF4 field plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/language-option-for-acf4-fields/ ?

    See: https://nimb.ws/0m1gE6

    I try to activate this plugin but:
    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in ……../plugins/language-option-for-acf4-fields/index.php on line 210
    Why?

    It works for me with ACF 4.4.3 + Polylang + 1.7.11 + Language option for ACF4+ Fields 1.3.0.

    Now it works.
    The problem was PHP short tag into the plugin script.
    I replace <? with <?php.

    I try the plugin but nothing change.
    The post translation of a page not inherit the custom fields of the original page.

    Could you provide screen shots to reproduce your steps?

    My steps:
    Two languages on Polylang (Italian and English)
    1. I create a page “MyParentPageName”
    2. Advanced Custom Fields: I create a fields group with this condition: parent is equal to “MyParentPageName”.
    3. I create a sub-page of this page “MySubPageName”. I save.
    4. I re-open “MySubPageName” and I try to translate the page by click on plus icon near english flag. This action open a new post but I have only title and content editor, not custom fields set at point 2.

    Probably because the post translation isn’t yet a parent of “MyParentPageName”? How can I see however these ACF custom fileds?

    Thank you.

    Probably because the post translation isn’t yet a parent of “MyParentPageName”?

    I tested by creating a parent of this translation and it doesn’t work.

    But you can use Duplicate post to clone your child page. It’s works.

    Thanks for the solution. It’s works!
    So, to translate the page, I don’t use plus icon near english flag.
    I clone child page and I set the language. Corrrect?

    You need to link these 2 pages by the translation as explained here: 6 – TRANSLATING PAGE, POST, CATEGORIES AND TAGS ?.
