Same here and agree this is very disconcerting, as it is wasting time trying to figure it out if it is a false positive. It happened on multiple client sites which made it seem like it could be related to yesterday’s upgrade.

Hello,

Thank you for your quick reply. I was able to get it to display. There was a theme issue that was interfering with the field displaying.

Now that I have that working, I am testing the process of a person signing up for this jobs site and submitting their company through this form. Our settings are that the admin must approve all companies.

After a company is approved, there is no notification to the employer (applicant) that their company is approved. How is the person supposed to know that their company is approved and that they can proceed with submitting jobs?

Regards,

Thanks for your reply. But should having a link on a publicly available page cause that page to not be visible to everyone? That is the essence of the question – why is the content on a page (in this case, a link to a restricted page) causing it to not be available for viewing (and automatically redirect the unrestricted page) when the page itself is marked as non-restricted and available to everyone?

A quick follow-up, I went through each sentence in the aforementioned page and determined that a link to a page with members-only permissions was the cause of the problem. However, this was not occurring in the English version of the page, only the Norwegian. I resolved it by removing that link, but my question now is: if any page on the website contains a link to a page that requires being logged in, why would it automatically redirect that original page with the link and only redirect it when viewed in the other language? I am using TranslatePress to create the multilingual site but do not believe that TranslatePress controls permissions.

Hello Ibrahim,

Thank you for getting back to me. After much time spent trying to get it to work, I ended up creating a custom field for the logo, doing a lot of manipulation to get the custom logo to display but eventually I got it to display. I never did get the MAS Companies company logo to display correctly. At this point it is more or less resolved via this alternate solution.

Quick follow-up, I managed to change all the month names using LocoTranslate but had to do it in the WordPress core PO files, so am hoping I can figure out to make sure it moves them to a different location. But at least its solved. Maybe this is why they could not be overwritten by the TranslatePress excluded strings? Either way, it works now.

This ticket was not successfully resolved.

Sorry, was out of the office for a few days. Excluding the .job-listing-meta class from translation options did not work. Both regular translation and dynamic. Everything else has been really good with this plugin. This seems to be the only thing and its hard to determine if the <time datetime> element is being considered part of a plugin, a theme or neither as it does not show up in LocoTranslate either.

Here is an example of something that I do not want translated and it continues to be translated – I added the selectors via the Advanced Settings. It is the months in the <time datetime> that continue to be translated to Norwegian:

<ul class="job-listing-meta meta" data-no-translation="" data-no-auto-translation="">
  <li class="job-type full-time">Full Time</li>
  <li class="location"> <a class="google_map_link" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Oslo&zoom=14&size=512x512&maptype=roadmap&sensor=false">Oslo</a> </li>
  <li class="date-posted">
    <time datetime="2021-07-28" data-no-translation="" data-no-auto-translation="">Posted on juli 28, 2021</time>
  </li>
  <li class="job-id d-none"><strong>JOB ID:</strong> 460 </li>
</ul>

I also added the function to exclude it using your suggested code: https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/exclude-certain-text-or-element-from-being-translated/ and that did not work.

Is there something else I need to do?

What we want to achieve is that only the headers and footers and a very few pages have both languages displayed. The content in the main area of the page (which was indicated by the html selector ID in the Exclude Gettext strings along with the WP Job Manager plugin domain) is still being translated. The auto-translate setting was not enabled and it is still auto-translating. So, I was asking if there are other settings I need to enable in order to stop it from doing this.

Quick follow-up, I was sort of able to get it to work by using Loco Translate (for only 2 examples that were being auto-translated) but it seems like the Disable Automatic Translation plugin doesn’t do anything, nor does the disable automatic translation settings in the TranslatePress plugin. Is there something else I should be doing or do I have to use Loco Translate and the gettext strings for every single word in Norwegian that might occur? The plan for this particular website is to only have the header and footer areas translated and the main content area of the site to be always in English. Please advise. Thanks.

Thanks again for your suggestions. I will see what I can do with Loco Translate and also look more closely at the SEO Pack addon.

Thank you so much, this worked!

That said, so that I fully understand your plugin and also if my client requests the permalinks to be in Norwegian, is it possible for TranslatePress to process the permalinks in the secondary language and have them work without having to change them all to match the original English (in my case)?

Also, after looking into this more closely, if the permalinks on the main listing page did not change the language of the custom post base in the permalink structure (i.e. just keep them as the default “jobs” instead of translating to the second language’s “jobb”) it would work and not go to a 404 page as the single custom posts are using the English url base of “job” for all languages.
Is there a way to make sure that the main listing does not translate the URL base to “jobb”?

Ok, will do. Thanks.
