Translating ACF fields with WPML - only checkbox field values not showing up | WORDPRESS


I have used ACF fields and WPML to make multilingual website. Everything works okay (all the other acf fields are being correctly translated & shown), but checkbox field values are being displayed as just empty white area. It works OK on main language. Problem only occurs on translated languages.

As you can notice, the fields are there (but values are not) note that their content is still being displayed on webpage..just that you cant see values on the back-end and cant edit them because of that.

WP 4.4, ACF 5.3.4


Solution

  • FIXED!!

    Problem was: When duplicating ACF fields, the checkbox choices (values) weren't duplicated so the fields were left empty to begin with - thats why they didn't appear. There was nothing to show on other languages.

    Solution was: Copy the checkbox values from original language to other languages manually.
