 * Greetings clivezhg !
 * I’m testing a KB plugin with your plugin on an old website (rievtech).
    [https://rievtech.fr/knowledge-base/](https://rievtech.fr/knowledge-base/)
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/echo-knowledge-base/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/echo-knowledge-base/)
 * Your plugin is very easy to use, light, amazing, simple.. My congratulations !
   Sincerly. It’s not the case for WPML!
 * The only things which doesn’t work, it’s with the KB page.. it doesn’t switch
   in the correct language.. it stay on the main language. But link are correct.
   
   I think it’s not your “fault” and you can do anything.
 * You can try to switch en/fr … KB page doesn’t change, but if you click on the
   article, the correct page is open.
 * WPML is very heavy.. I use it for my main website but I would like not use your
   plugin for our support website (support.aceautomation.eu).
 * Thanks a lot for your plugin. I hope the KB plugin will be compatible soon.

 * Hi Rémi, thanks a lot for your appreciation.
    Regarding your issue, when I visited
   the [https://rievtech.fr/knowledge-base/](https://rievtech.fr/knowledge-base/),
   I got “Oops! 404 Not Found…Sorry, an error has occured, Requested page not found!”,
   it looks like the page is missing now. I will test the KB plugin on your WordPress
   version (4.9.11), and try to figure out what’s the problem.

 * Hi Clive. Thanks for your answer.
    I setuped a website for test 3 plugins togheter.
   Your plugin More-Lang + Knowledge Base for Documents and FAQs by Echo Plugins
   + DeepL for WordPress : translation plugin by Fluenx. This plugin just tranlsate
   automaticly the html page in the editor. It doesn’t affect the frontend. The 
   most important is your plugin and Knowledge Base plugin. I think these 3 plugins
   togheter can mahe a great, light and userfriendly solution for setup a KB wordpress
   website. I believe a lot to your plugin. And the DeepL plugin is great for translation.
   About the issue between KB and you plugin: First I can give you an access to 
   the backend of my test website. Private message – how to ? [http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/](http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/)
   The main KB page doesn’t switch in the correct language. Here, always in english.
   But links are correct, when I select the post, I arrive to the correct language.
   I think it’s not the fault of your plugin. But if you can to do somthing, that
   would be great ! Let me know if you need something. We can help you and paticipate.
   You can try to switch en/fr/de, the KB page doesn’t change, but if you click 
   on the article, the correct page is open. Thanks Let me knwo for the login/password,
   how I can send it to you. Again, thanks a lot for your great plugin. I love it
   because it light and UI friendly. Rémi

 * Hi Rémi, I already figured the issue on my local server.
    The cause is that the
   KB plugin doesn’t follow the normal WordPress way of displaying Post Titles &
   Category Names, and More-Lang filters are not applied. So, I would say it’s a
   defect of the KB plugin. Anyway, I wrote a simple fix for the KB plugin, you 
   can follow the following steps to add it: 1. Open the file ~\wp-content\plugins\
   echo-knowledge-base\includes\features\layouts\class-epkb-layout.php 2. Find the
   section:
 *     ```
       		// for WPML filter categories and articles given active language
       		if ( EPKB_Utilities::is_wpml_enabled( $kb_config ) ) {
       			$this->category_seq_data = EPKB_WPML::apply_category_language_filter( $this->category_seq_data );
       			$this->articles_seq_data = EPKB_WPML::apply_article_language_filter( $this->articles_seq_data );
       		}
       ```
   
 * 3. Paste the code below after that section:
 *     ```
       		/* Apply WordPress filters to support More-Lang */
       		if (is_array($this->articles_seq_data)) {
       			foreach ($this->articles_seq_data as &$seq_data) {
       				if (is_array($seq_data)) {
       					foreach ($seq_data as $id=>$data) {
       						if ($id === 0) {
       							$ekpb_term = get_term_by('name', $data, 'epkb_post_type_1_category');
       							if ($ekpb_term) {
       								$seq_data[$id] = apply_filters('list_cats', $data, $ekpb_term);
       							}
       						}
       						else if ($id > 1) {
       							$seq_data[$id] = apply_filters('the_title', $data, $id);
       						}
       					}
       				}
       			}
       		}
       ```
   
 * And, if you adopt the above fix, note that the change will be cleared after upgrading
   the KB plugin.
    Thanks for your posting, hope that the above can help you!

 * Hi Clive,
    You are so amazing! Too strong 🙂 That works! That seem so simple 
   for you. Some words can’t be translated on the main page but that doesn’t matter…
   and I think that can be solved with your translation settings page. But unfortunately
   the search function doesn’t works for others language… As example, with the French
   KB main page: [http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/fr_FR/](http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/fr_FR/)–
   if I enter ” configurer ” as searched word, no results. Despite than this word
   exist in the french artcicle. – If I enter ” passwords “, this word exist in 
   english and french, but the result on the french KB is the post english version.
   But I know, it is a defect of the KB plugin 🙁 Does they are a way for translate
   the URL also (same as the post title) ? Thanks Let me know I would like to help
   you if need. Rémi from France.

 * Hi Rémi, the URL [http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/fr_FR/](http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/fr_FR/)
   doesn’t work, it looks like that the format has been changed to [http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/fr/](http://www.test.aceautomation.eu/fr/).
   
   The KB plugin uses its own way for searching, so the More-Lang fields are not
   included. The following steps can make it support More-Lang: 1. Open the file
   ~\wp-content\plugins\echo-knowledge-base\includes\features\kbs\class-epkb-kb-
   search.php 2. Find the section:
 *     ```
       		$found_posts_obj = new WP_Query( $search_params );
       		if ( ! empty($found_posts_obj->posts) ) {
       			$result = $found_posts_obj->posts;
       			wp_reset_postdata();
       		}
       ```
   
 * 3. Paste the code below after that section:
 *     ```
       		$flds = ['content', 'title', 'excerpt'];
       		global $ml_registered_mlocales;
       		if (isset($ml_registered_mlocales) && count($ml_registered_mlocales) > 0) {
       			$locales = $ml_registered_mlocales;
       			$pfx = '_post_content_morelang_nml_';
       			$search_params['meta_query'] = array ( 'relation' => 'OR' );
       			foreach ($flds as $fld) {
       				foreach ($locales as $locale) {
       					$search_params['meta_query'][] = array( 'key' => '_post_' . $fld . '_morelang_nml_' . $locale, 'value' => $search_terms, 'compare' => 'LIKE' );
       				}
       			}
       			unset($search_params['s']);
       			$found_posts_obj = new WP_Query( $search_params );
       			if ( ! empty($found_posts_obj->posts) ) {
       				$new_posts = $found_posts_obj->posts;
       				wp_reset_postdata();
       				foreach ($new_posts as $key=>$new_post) {
       					foreach ($result as $post) {
       						if ($new_post->ID === $post->ID) unset($new_posts[$key]);
       					}
       				}
       				$result = array_merge( $result, $new_posts );
       			}
       		}
       ```
   
 * And even if you follow these steps, the searching results will return the default
   links, the “but the result on the french KB is the post english version” issue
   will be still there.
    ___”Does they are a way for translate the URL also”, there’s
   no way in More-Lang (but it’s the native behavior in the URI-map module of More-
   Lang Pro). Thanks!
