Polylang and custom post types

  • Hi Chouby & others,

    Could anyone tell me how to approach this issue? Can I use Polylang in conjunction with custom post types that are either pre-existant / defined in the theme or defined via any of the custom post type plugins. I noticed that WPML and the Types plugin are compatible (same author) so I am hoping there is a similar ‘easy’ solution or combination to be found for Polylang…

    It may be hard to say something about this without a concrete case but a general hint about which route to take here would already be very helpful ??

    Thanks!

    Hello!

    You just have to register your post type as usual for example in a function hooked to the ‘init’ action. If you register it with ‘show_ui’ set to true, then it is automatically created with multilingual support.

    Otherwise, you can use the ‘pll_get_post_types’ filter to add multilingual support to a post type with ‘show_ui’ set to false (or to remove multilingual support to a post type with ‘show_ui’ set to true).

    I don’t know the plugin ‘Types’. How ‘easy’ is the integration of Types with WPML?

    If you register it with ‘show_ui’ set to true, then it is automatically created with multilingual support.

    Fantastic!

    use the ‘pll_get_post_types’ filter

    Also at init or is a later point also possible?

    No idea, just read that it is compatible (which is no surprise since both are by the same dev)…

    The ‘pll_get_post_types’ filter is called in a function hooked to ‘wp_loaded’, so I expect that it is used in a function hooked to ‘init’.

    Anywhere before wp_loaded gets fired then… Thanks for the tips and help ??
