Advanced Custom Fields on WPML translations not saving - wordpress

On a page/post I can copy the Advanced Custom Fields with content to the translated page but when I edit the translated page it always gets overwritten by the Advanced Custom Fields content from the default language page.
Trying to achieve:
I need to copy content with Custom Fields from a default language post to a translated language post, and then edit each language's content independently.
On every other project it just works fine that way…
I've already tried:
Solving some database errors - no success
Changing the execution order for WPML and ACF - no success
Deleting WPML completely and deactivating ACF and all other plugins.
then install WPML first and activate ACF again - no success.
Tried every possible combination of settings in both plugins available -
no success
After setting “translate” for “field groups” and “do nothing” for “fields” at WPML options. I can now create independent custom fields for the translation with independent field_names. Saving here works, but I can't copy content from the default page to translated page. So this is a partial success
Next Steps
Downgrade ACF to an earlier version.
Same as step three from above but instead of reinstalling WPML, i reinstall ACF and activate it first of all.
versions:
wpml: 3.1.7.2
acf: 5.0.9
wordpress: 4.0
I've also posted this issue in the acf support forum.

If anybody also has this issue, I was able to solve it after talking to a developer at ACF.

ACF fields are not being displayed on translated pages when using Polylang

I have a simple website build with ACF (free version). I have just some text fields. Now I want to have that website available in multiple languages, so I installed and set up the Polylang Plugin. But when I create the translated pages, my ACF fields simply are not being displayed in the CMS, so basically, when the fields don't show up, I also can't enter my translated contents.
I googled this issue but don't seem to find another person who had the same problem. Can anyone help me what setting I have to change to also have my acf fields be duplicated for the polylang to work?

Avada Builder Custom Post Types

I have created some custom posts using the Custom Post Type Maker plugin. I am trying to use these custom posts within avada and fusion builder. I am using Avada 7.2 (latest version) and I have found this documentation which explains you can select this in the post types section. This option does not exist for me, is it not an option with the newest version?
https://theme-fusion.com/documentation/avada/avada-builder/avada-builder-custom-post-types/
I found out where, the layout is different with the new installation. You need to hover over options and select builder options.
It appears the theme developers changed the location of the link to this option somewhere between version 7.1 and 7.2 (not exactly clear to me from their changelog, but they mention usability improvements in several places).
Avada's theme documentation on enabling their builder on custom post types is still correct, but in my opinion the first step could benefit from a screenshot. To get to 'Builder Options' you need to first go to the Avada theme dashboard, and there, next to the Avada logo, hover over 'Options'. In the submenu that comes up you can now choose 'Builder Options'. Now you can find post type checkboxes towards the bottom of the page.
Here is what it looks like for me in Avada version 7.4:

Blank/empty pages Cart and Checkout

We’re just getting started with WooCommerce and are preparing a store with just a few categories and products in it to play around with it and get to know it before we get seriously into it.
We don’t yet have an SSL certificate for our website.
Does this mean that we won’t be able to create a store and test it until we get an SSL certificate?
As is, we’re seeing blank pages when we go to cart and try to go to checkout. On those pages, our header is there, but the page below the header is empty, blank.
I posted this same question in an existing thread that mentioned this, but haven’t had a reply. Thought maybe it might be missed in that other thread.
maybe, can you see do code shablon this page?
Thank you.
I came across this issue while writing a custom WooCommerce theme from scratch. I realized that if your theme has a page.php template (or any of the fall-back templates in the WP hierarchy) - you need to make sure, that the_content(); function gets called in the template that your page post-type is going to use (either page.php, singular.php or index.php) - if you are using the standard WooCommerce setup.
If not, the WooCommerce short-codes are simply never output - which the cart, checkout, my-account and order-tracking pages depend on.
Make sure to enter the [woocommerce_cart] shortcode in the Cart page and [woocommerce_checkout] shortcode on the checkout page.
And Goto Woocommerce settings and set the Cart Page, Checkout page.
This should solve the issue.
Meanwhile, check the Woocommerce -> System Status and look for errors.
If you are using any page builder, make sure you enter the Shortcodes in the text box modules.
If you still face the issue, try reverting back to Gutenburg editor or classic editor instead of Page builder.

Perhaps it would be easier to find what is causing the conflict. Try temporarily switching back to the WordPress Twenty Sixteen Theme, or Storefront, and disable all plugins except for WooCommerce. If that resolves the issue, then slowly re-enable features until you find the one that’s causing the conflict

Wordpress ACF Toggle-Indicator

I am using Advanced Custom Fields in wordpress for sections on a page or a post on my website. But for some odd reason when I click edit page and try to open up a section, the toggle class does not work. Although when I click the edit field group icon it takes me to that field group.
I checked for jQuery errors in my console and found 0 errors.
Here is a screenshot for my page editor.

It is possible that the toggle functionality is being affected by a conflict with another JavaScript library or a theme or plugin on your WordPress site. You can try deactivating all other plugins and switching to a default theme to see if that resolves the issue. If the problem persists, you can try updating Advanced Custom Fields and its add-ons to the latest version, or seek assistance from the plugin support forum or a professional developer

enable sticky post option for custom post types wordpress

I am using wordpress latest version 3.3.2
I have madecustom post types and now I want sticky post option in custom posts. I am able to do this by editing the core wordpress file metaboxes.php, but I want to do the same without touching any core files of wordpress.
For your needs I would recommend the "More fields" plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/more-fields/
You can choose the type of the custom field and attach to one or more custom post types. To create sticky posts, maybe you should use a checkbox for the custom field and query the latest N checked custom posts/sticky posts :)
I hope it does make sense for you.
Good luck! :)
