Repeating fields deleted on Multi-language site?

  • I have a site which uses the Types plugin and I created some custom fields for my pages. They contain an image field and users can add more then one image and I load these in a slider.

    The site also uses the WPML multi-language plugin. This plugin gives a warning that repeating fields are not recommended.

    Once every while (very random in time, posts and severity) Posts lose their extra repeating fields, only the first one remains and only for translated pages. The original keeps all repeating fields but translations are left with only one.

    I have “disconnected” the translations from their master so they should not be overwritten but they still lose their repeating field values. Only one field and value remains, the first and I need to manually add the other fields again for the other languages, very annoying.

    How do I prevent repeating fields from being lost?

  • Hello geenkaas,
    this definitely shouldn’t happen. If you have a Toolset account, I suggest you try our 1.9-beta (https://wp-types.com/2016/01/types-1-9-beta1/) and see if the issue persists (or wait a little until we release the version 1.9). This version brings many changes and it is possible that your problem gets fixed as well.

    Please let us know if it helps.

    I do, but unfortunately the site in question is on a production server and live, I cannot test it with a beta version. I might have to setup a test environment to test, but did you fix anything related to this problem in 1.9?

    I’m sorry, but I am not aware of everything that has been happening during the 1.9 development. But the integration with WPML is an ongoing process. I assume either the issue was already reported by someone else and fixed, or you are the first and it will be fixed soon (or we’ll provide a workaround).

    If you have a paid account, please definitely use our support forum – you will get the best help we can provide there. In this case you’d be probably asked for the duplicator package and someone else would debug and try to find the issue. Unfortunately we can’t do that here.

    But in any case, the more information and details you can provide, the better.
