Hi Sybre and Stiofan,

Great to see you guys talking. WordPress needs more of that energy, making plugins work together!

@cybr

Thanks for pointing to the specific line. I’ll investigate with the theme support.

As far as SEO with WPML, the only 2 issues I have are:

1. https://www.arbolife.com/fr/ has the wrong title (text is in French)
2. https://www.arbolife.com/fr/services has everything in English instead of French that I have on the back-end.

It’s really interesting that other French pages work just fine. I’d be happy to let you onto my server if you want to investigate. I’m glad you’re considering WPML for future development.

Best,
Marc

Hi Sybre,

Could you please elaborate a bit on “your theme still outputs the description and keyword tags”. When I search the source code, I don’t see another description or meta tags other than those created from your plugin (this is with my limited knowledge). So could you please point to what output from my theme specifically is conflicting with SEO Framework?

Regarding internalization, I have some good news for you (again, maybe distorted by my limited knowledge)… your plugin works just fine with WPML on a multilingual site.

It works for the homepage:
https://www.arbolife.com/
https://www.arbolife.com/fr/

It works for pages:
https://www.arbolife.com/events-home/
https://www.arbolife.com/fr/evenements-accueil/

It works for all events from Events Manager:
https://www.arbolife.com/events/vg-workshops-loetitia-cuisine-intro-to-vegan-cooking-28-01-17/
https://www.arbolife.com/fr/events/les-ateliers-vg-loetitia-cuisine-debuter-en-cuisine-vegetalienne/

It works for GeoDirectory entries (they are duplicates, but the locale comes out fine)
https://www.arbolife.com/fr/listing/suisse/valais/martigny/atelier-nm/
https://www.arbolife.com/listing/suisse/valais/martigny/atelier-nm/

It just does not work for this one page:
https://www.arbolife.com/services/
https://www.arbolife.com/fr/services/

In the French version, the locale is correct, but the title and description come from the English version, even though they are set in French in the SEO settings on the back-end.

Best,
Marc

Hi Sybre,

Thanks for the detailed support. I actually had that setting on (from your screenshot), but had another plugin active (Facebook Open Graph, Google+ and Twitter Card Tags) which I have now deactivated. Can you see if that was causing the problem you mentioned ?

On a side note, I do have one problem with SEO Framework (unrelated to this post):
https://www.arbolife.com/fr/services/ has the English SEO information when sharing on Facebook – copied from https://www.arbolife.com/services/ which is the correct English version.

Regarding the local search distance, I tried it and it had no impact. So I guess those forum posts pointing to SEO Framework are wrong. I’ll investigate with GeoDirectory.

Best,
Marc

Hi Sybre,

Thanks for writing back.

So my issue right now is that the SEO settings seem to not work like on other posts like events (from events manager). Here’s a sample GeoDirectory listing: https://www.arbolife.com/fr/listing/suisse/neuchatel/boudevilliers/brocante-csp-la-jonchere/ – when sharing this on Facebook, the title works, but the description brings strange content. The SEO settings are all on default for this listing and in the back end it shows a greyed out version with a much better text.

The second thing I’ve seen on forums is that the search distance is not respected when searching for something near “a place”. I have a limit of 40km in my settings, but results show even if they are higher. I can live with this for now, but if indeed SEO Framework is causing this, then it should be addressed at some point.

Enjoy your weekend as well.
Marc

Hi Kirit,

I saw there was a new release 1.2.2 and this has not been fixed. Can you please give an ETA as this plugin is unusable in combination with another gateway.

Thanks,
Marc

Hi Stiofan,

I have another problem now. The EM search works, but the not the Near… which loads places from Google. When I disable GeoDirectroy, everything works perfectly fine.

I tried all the EM related troubleshooting like removing the default country, removing all the custom content from the page, etc.

Of course the site changed since it was last working. Notably I switched the domain and forced https. I checked on the Google API and the domains are set correctly with *.domain.com.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot further as I don’t understand what the code is doing. And I’m not sure which plugin is causing the problem. I have bought EM Pro and have support there. I can also buy support from GeoDirectory if needed, I was planning on buying the bundle in 1 or 2 months.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Angelo,

I tried to put this code in events-manager/templates/templates/event-single.php

<?php
/*
 * This page displays a single event, called during the em_content() if this is an event page.
 * You can override the default display settings pages by copying this file to yourthemefolder/plugins/events-manager/templates/ and modifying it however you need.
 * You can display events however you wish, there are a few variables made available to you:
 *
 * $args - the args passed onto EM_Events::output() 

 */
global $EM_Event;
/* @var $EM_Event EM_Event */
if( $EM_Event->status == 1 ){
?>
<meta property="og:type" content="activity" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ?>" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="sitename" />
<meta property="og:description" content="" />
<?php
	echo $EM_Event->output_single();
}else{
	echo get_option('dbem_no_events_message');
}
?>

But it displays the meta property in the <body>, not in the <head> where it should go according to Facebook’s instructions: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button#example

Can you point me to a way to put this in the header?

Thanks

On the Stripe Settings page, the last 2 messages don’t have the globe to translate them:

Success Message
Success Free Message

Can you please add this?

Same problem here, the title is simply empty. This issue renders the whole Events Manager Pro + Stripe Gateway unusable. I wouldn’t mind hardcoding it into my site until the next release, but I need instructions on how to do this.

Hi Stiofan,

Amazing, thank you for your contribution. I have no idea how I would have solved this without your post. It worked like a charm for me.

@enjoyint: just put it in functions.php of your child theme.

Thanks!

Thanks, so it’s definitely premature to put it on live environment. I hope to see you guys evolve towards full compatibility with WPML in the near future.

Thanks, I understand it’s not completed.

Now what sort of issues would I run into if I did install UM along WPML? I have an English + French site, so would certain things be translated and others would simply show up in English in both versions? The main question is whether UM would function properly, other than certain portions not being translated?

Thanks.

Hi,

Any update on WPML ? I’m considering buying now but need to know how much trouble I’ll run into for a multilingual site.

Thanks!
