WPML compatibility issue – changing tags

    I would like to say, a big thank-you for this plugin. I really don’t want to move away from Genesis to Storefront for my e-commerce needs and without this plugin it would be very difficult for me.

    I am using WPML on an English(default)/Chinese site.

    On most pages the returned Chinese translation page was okay, but I found that on my category pages the Chinese translation was returning pages with the old <div id="content"> Genesis xhtml markup tags instead of the <main class="content"> html5 tags.

    WPML support duplicated my site in their test environment and identified the problem as being a compatibility issue with the Genesis connect plugin.

    They said that they will contact you to work out the problem and it will take time. I hope you guys can get your heads together and iron-out this quirk.

    In the meantime, I am using a workaround, by adding #content to my .content css styling. It works, and now that I know the nature of my issue, it shouldn’t cause too much of a problem.

    I also posted all relevant links in the studiopress internationalizations and translations forum.

    It sounds like Genesis Connect may be missing the template for product categories, which could cause issues with WPML if it loads a custom template for translated pages.

    You can try the following as a workaround:

    1. Copy the contents of the file at wp-content/plugins/genesis-connect-woocommerce/templates/taxonomy.php to your clipboard.
    2. Create a new folder at wp-content/themes/your-theme/woocommerce/ if it does not exist already.
    3. Create a file in the woocommerce folder called taxonomy-product_cat.php, and paste the contents of the taxonomy.php file that you copied in step 1.
    4. Save your changes and then visit your translated product category page.

    You should find that the Genesis Connect layout is then applied to both your original product category page and the translated one.

    Thank you for your suggestion Nick.

    I have everything styled correctly using my temporary workaround of adding the #content css styling at the moment.

    I have moved on from this problem for now, but when I get some time I will replicate the problem offline with MAMP and check your solution.

    I will also forward your suggestion onto the WMPL forum board and Studiopress forum board where my other posts exist, incase anyone else has suffered this problem.

    Hopefully Studiopress and WPML can work this thing out too.
