I finally found the error… CFCS doesn’t need the reCaptcha code after [cscf-contact-form] because CFCS is already configured for reCaptcha. Simply entering the public and private keys and checking the reCaptcha box in the CFCS settings are enough for the reCaptcha widget to appear in the form.

Many thanks, Robert. Now I know with certainty that there are no hacks to add bold or italics in WP Featherlight captions. Without you, I could have been endlessly looking for a solution…

I really like WP Featherlight’s minimalist design and I hope this plugin will always be updated to follow the evolution of WordPress. Thanks again!

I don’t get it. I reinstalled everything and purged W3 Total Cache and now everything works fine, even Featherlight. Until the next crisis…

Happy New Year!

Thanks for your offer. But I think I’ll rebuild my site from scratch without WooCommerce. My site used to work well but I’ve lost hope to sell my photos online… Also there are probably conflicts between my other plugins. On top of that, creating a bilingual site doesn’t help. I’m really tired of seeing my site suddenly breaking down and having to spend days trying to figure out why. Anyway, thanks again for your help. And Merry Christmas!

I reinstalled all my plugins, even WooCommerce which I don’t use anymore. I know that every time WooCommerce is updated, I have to modify its js assets. For whatever reason, the files jquery-cookie.js and jquery-cookie.min.js have to be changed to jquery_cookie.js and jquery_cookie.min.js.

I’m not sure if it’s related to my problem (I’m not a programmer). All I know is that now my site is completely screwed up… It seems that if I want to get rid of WooCommerce and its translation plugins, my site doesn’t work even if Woo Commerce is on hidden pages. Sigh.

Thanks for your quick answers. I deactivated my extensions (except Featherlight) and the website can’t show up. I get this message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function plugin_url() on a non-object in /home/raoul372/public_html/phototrope.ca/wp-content/themes/twentytwelve-child/functions.php on line 19

Hi miso00,

Thank you so much for your tip! I still have a few issues with categories and products, but at least my Shop page is now working in both French and English.

Prior to your post I had installed WPML for WooCommerce. It was a rip-off for me because the basic version (29 $) didn’t work unless upgrading (79 $) in order to get two missing components. This infuriated me so much that I asked for a full refund (which I got).

Since you seem quite knowledgeable about Multilingual WooCommerce, allow me to explain my current issues. I posted the following to both WooCommerce and qTranslate forums but nobody has responded yet.

Here it goes:

I use WooCommerce and qTranslate in my photo site (Twenty Twelve Child) . Everything works fine, except in the Shop …

I created three categories of products in French:
? Nature – Couleur
? Nature – Noir et blanc
? Europe

Each class has two attributes:
? Format (3 sizes available)
? Présentation (cadre noir, cadre argent, ou non encadrée)

This thus gives 9 price variations for each photo.

I duplicated everything and translated into English.

To build my catalogue, I first created a product in French (with the same title in English), which I then duplicated as many times as necessary by changing only the title. This saved me from specifying 9 price variations for each photo.

I have done the same in English.

The problem is when I change the language (“switcher” in the menu). qTranslate correctly translates “Veuillez choisir une option” to “Choose an option” (drop-down menus facing the two attributes), but it fails to translate the rest (eg Format to Size, Cadre noir to Black frame, etc.).

Should I create Language Tags to eliminate all English price variations? I feel this too many variations screws up qTranslate or WooCommerce…

In other words should there be only 9 price variations in French? Language Tags would then take over to generate the English variations.

But I do not know how …

Moreover, even the Boutique (Shop) page seems unable to manage the languages since it displays all 6 categories at once, instead of 3 in the proper language as it should. So I deleted the English categories in the general settings (not in the products themselves). I ended up, as desired, with 3 categories in the Shop page, but obviously they are only in French.

Even the English sub-menus are not displayed in their language (although they are OK in the Portfolio tab).

In short, hours of fun trying, unsuccessfully, to sort it out.

Thank you for your help!

Well, let’s forget it.

I found out elsewhere that Polylang is unable to deal with WooCommerce’s shop and checkout pages. Too bad…

Pro version installed. English and French forms perfect.

Thanks Danny.

Well, I can’t wait. I just bought the Pro licence!

This is the first time I buy a WP plugin. But the Lite version was well designed enough to convince me to make the jump.

Thanks Danny!

Hello again,

After more fiddling I managed to slightly improve my site without disfiguring it… Unless mistaken, enabling CDN and CloudFlare together is fatal.

Let’s compare settings:

DEFAULTS
GTmetrix PageSpeed: 93%
GTmetrix YSlow: 81%
PageSpeed Insights: 90%
YSlow: 78%

MY NEW SETUP
GTmetrix PageSpeed: 94%
GTmetrix YSlow: 85%
PageSpeed Insights: 92%
YSlow: 91%

Browser:
last-modified: ON
expires header: ON
cache control header: ON
entity tag: ON
W3TC header: ON
HTTP gzip: ON
disable cookies: ON

CloudFlare: ON
Domain: phototrope.ca
security: LOW
minification: OFF
rocket: OFF

@ CloudFlare.com:
performance: CDN + FULL OPTIM.
protection: LOW
caching level: AGRESSIVE
Challenge TTL: 1 day
Minimum TTL: 1 month
auto minify: OFF
Rocket: ON

An optimization expert would have probably taken 5 min instead of 5 days to obtain these results… Well, after this ordeal, at least my ignorance is more precise…

Cheers.

Thank you again Roy.

As I said, I’m not keen on adding plugins to my site for fear of conflicts. But if your plugin is safe I will definitely install it!

Regards.

Many thanks Roy.

I don’t want to add more plugins to my site because it might affect its performance.

There is another simpler and 100% effective fix that doesn’t involve your host server:
https://docs.woothemes.com/document/jquery-cookie-fails-to-load/

Of course, you need to reapply it after each WooCommerce update.

This fix saved me in the past, but I had forgotten my problem was cookie related.

Thanks for reminding me!

Thank you Roy.
But my site is a Twenty Twelve child. I’m reluctant to enable its parent mainly because my CSS affects many WooCommerce items.

WordPress has not recently changed Twenty Twelve and I didn’t modify my child prior to WooCommerce 2.1.3.

Here is an example of a product unable to show the Add to Cart and to reset: https://phototrope.ca/produit/phototrope-8822-2/

Thanks.
