Is WPML support ever coming to Event Tickets?

[Kate Guy]

I’ve seen a lot of old threads where the dev team says they plan on building in WPML support for Event Tickets. I’m just wondering if this is still in the works, and if so when we can expect it to be released?

Good evening Kate and welcome back!

Thank you for reaching out to us.

This feature is scheduled to be released later this year. Initially we planned for spring, but there was some pushback.

In the meantime, you could get it to partially work, but this is unsupported.

To achieve that, you will need:

1. WooCommerce multilingual
2. Some manual intervention

After creating the ticket AND saving the event, head over to WPML > Support > Troubleshooting page.

Once you are there, you should see several cleanup buttons. I would recommend:

1. Clearing WPML cache
2. Using the button that forces language assignment to items (which is what is creating the issue). This can also be accomplished by deactivating and reactivating WPML.

Your ticket will now magically appear.

The only downside is that the tickets you create in other languages are not really translations of the initial ticket. They are completely independent new tickets.

Let me know if that helps.

Have a great day!

Geoff B.

Hey there! This thread has been pretty quiet for the last three weeks, so we’re going to go ahead and close it to avoid confusion with other topics. If you’re still looking for help with this, please do open a new thread, reference this one and we’d be more than happy to continue the conversation over there.

Thanks so much!
