Hey Chris,
maybe you’re mixing up “MarketPress”(.com) and MultilingualPress a little.
You can make relations between any (custom) post type, if you like.
As you’re not going into detail, we aren’t able to give you detailed feedback. Maybe, if you want to set up a multilingual website, you should consider buying the premium support on marketpress.com – that’d be a great help for you. You can ask any pre-sales questions there, too.
Kind regards
Sebastian
Hi Sebastian,
thx for your fast reply!
Not sure about mixing them up. MultilingualPress is the product of marketpress.com – right?
There isn’t much detail to go into at the moment. For a standard blog or website project the multisite tool would be perfect but I’m planing a directory website with a membership system. The theme I’m going to use is pointfinder. Items and reviews aren’t managed like posts in the backend. Accounts should be available in all languages (hosts)…..
best regards
chris

Not exactly. MultilingualPress is a free plugin. Marketpress just sells an advanced support for MultilingualPress.
The theme I’m going to use is pointfinder. Items and reviews aren’t managed like posts in the backend.
Basically Mlp can deal with any WordPress Core datastructure notably custom post types and custom taxonomies. That means, it manages relations of posts (of any post type) and terms (of any taxonomy) between all linked sites.
So if the theme uses custom post types and custom taxonomies (and is multisite aware) you can use it together with MultilingualPress.
Hi David and thx for your reply.
I searched in the support section of the theme and found the following note which was related to a similar question of another user who had major issues get working the membershipsystem:
The theme can not used in that way because:……
“When you change the site wordpress using the the different usermeta table and first site’s usermeta table not connected with 2nd site’s usermeta”
What do you think about it? Have already started a request to the developers of the theme but didn’t get a reply yet.

This is just wrong when site describes a single site (formerly known as «blog») in a WordPress multisite installation (aka network). In a WordPress multisite installation [1] (optional core feature since 3.0), user and user-meta tables are global ones. That means a user is unique over the whole network and can be assigned to any site.

Thx again – I’m waiting for their answer.
Probably I’ll give it a try after WPML is the only good alternative and it slows down websites (at least thats what a little google research shows).
best regards

Okay, please keep me informed about what they say. We’re always interested in making MultilingualPress as compatible as possible with other themes and plugins.
Hi
unfortunately they are not planning any support of MultilingualPress in the future. Additionally the developer team has not tested it yet and can’t give any recommendation…..
chris
Hm, they don’t need to support MultilingualPress explicit as long as they use WordPress data structures like custom post types and custom taxonomies.
