Just wanted to say thanks for adding your voice to the mix.

It seems like I am encountering a very similar issue to yours, and so far no one has answered my support ticket.

What a shame that Gutenberg didn’t work straight away for the both of us. We shouldn’t have been exposed to errors that should have been caught in beta testing.

Thanks Michael!

Just saw your post after posting my reply.

As mentioned, I am fine if you delete all of my 4 posts in this thread. Since they are redundant for anyone else to read.

Update #2:

After a 30-minute delay, suddenly one of those posts is now showing up as a ‘thread started’ on the Polylang forum.

I have no idea what suddenly caused it to appear:

This is the working post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/switching-to-translated-post-directly-1?replies=1

These are the duplicate posts that are still not working.

I suggest that a mod deletes all of these duplicate posts. And you can also delete my 3 posts in this thread, since things seemed to magically resolve themselves.

Sorry for this extra work.

I added a ‘modlook’ tag, in the hope that the moderators might be able to explain why these posts are failing.

I do not understand why the posts are showing up as ‘replies’, rather than ‘threads started’.

The posts themselves appear as blank documents. Here are the URLs of the times I tried:

Mods: OK to delete those posts, since they are not actually showing up in the Polylang support forum as intended.

@keeperbay I agree. This should be an “option” selectable through the WP Settings menu.

Hi everyone,

My web developer was able to fix the problem thanks to the instructions in this thread. Cheers!

No, my theme is not freely available. It is a custom job just for my website.

I have referred my website coder to this support thread. I believe they will have the necessary information to fix the problem. Thanks for your help.

Will come back here to ask more questions, or to list this thread as ‘resolved’.

Hi,

I just visited the “Appearance -> Menus -> Manage locations” page. I pressed ‘save’ (and all of the menus corresponded to the correct menu for that language).

No improvement following that.

I changed the theme from my custom WordPress theme to Twenty Fourteen. And yes, the correct menu titles are showing for that language with Twenty Fourteen as the theme.

When I changed back to my custom WordPress theme, the problem began again.

Does this mean I need to get a website developer to re-code the theme to make it compatible with Polylang? Any advice to give the programmer for things to change?

Yes, perhaps this needs to be made more obvious to users.

For the record, I found a solution to this.

Previously I was trying to change the order of images by, inside the ‘Edit post’ window of WordPress, clicking on ‘Add Media’, then trying to change the ‘order’ of a media item by specifying a number in a text box (as with old versions).

I realised I needed to click the drop-down menu, and then choose ‘Uploaded to this post’.

From that point onwards, I was able to drag and drop the images in the correct ‘order’ which they would appear when displayed as a comic on my website.

(I also think that the PC I was using yesterday did not support the ‘drag and drop’ functionality. I am using a different PC today.)

WPyogi, can you please suggest/link-to the best-practice ways to backup a website and WP database? Do you suggest using plugins, or manual techniques?

Hi,
I’m not sure if that exactly solves my problem.

If I change my WordPress theme, I believe I will still not be able to specify the ‘order’ of media, even if another theme is activated, correct? Is it true that this functionality has been removed from 3.5.x, with the new Media Manager?

My website seems to still be remembering/utilising the ‘order’ of media uploaded for old posts, as those images are still in the correct sequence. Therefore I am hoping for a way to manually specify the ‘order’ of the images I uploaded after upgrading to 3.5.1

Please advise a way to manually specify an ‘order’ attribute for these images. Or otherwise, how to downgrade from 3.5.1 to 3.4.x.

Since this thread has just been bumped, I thought I’d mention that my site is currently using Polylang: https://www.stuartmcmillen.com/

I may possibly change to another non-WordPress based platform in 2013, but for now it is WordPress + Polylang.

Hi again,

Still waiting for a response to my email.

Cheers,

Stuart

Hi guys,

I emailed that address 2 days ago, but have not yet had a response.

Cheers,
