NOTE: This plugin is not tested with Gutenberg, and we have no near-term plans to do so. If using WP > 5.0, use the Classic Editor if there are problems.
NOTE: This plugin was originally designed to only lock pages, and only later added custom post type functionality. Hence the name, and sometimes the terminology will say “pages” when it means “any post type”.
Sometimes some pages or other posts are too important to allow them to be casually moved about or deleted by site editors. An editor may think nothing of renaming a page’s slug, or deleting a page to replace it with something similar, perhaps unaware of effects on SEO. Also, certain pages might be essential to keep in place because of a site’s structure, or because of aspects of a custom theme.
This plugin lets administrators “lock” any or all pages, and any post of any post type. “Locking” here basically means preventing non-admins from:
<ul>
<li>Editing the item’s slug</li>
<li>Changing the item’s parent</li>
<li>Changing the item’s template</li>
<li>Deleting the item</li>
<li>Changing the item’s status</li>
<li>Changing the item’s password protection</li>
</ul>
Locking is implemented by preventing the actual database update being performed as well as, where possible, having the interface element for that field removed. Where possible interface elements are removed via WP filters on the server; otherwise, jQuery is used on the client.
NOTE: Currently, I’ve been unable to get this working with the Quick Edit functionality. As a stop-gap measure, which is only in place because it seems to be better than nothing, the Quick Edit link is removed for users who can’t edit locked pages. I know, it’s not great. But until I work out how to selectively block Quick Editing, I’m assuming a locked page should be locked. Users can always edit the other fields via the normal edit page.

<h3>Known issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>Quick Edit presents problems. I’ve worked out how to create hidden fields in the Quick Edit box, and to put the values in the hidden div, but I can’t work out how to dynamically populate the fields with the values, so the old values can be used if necessary on saving. For now Quick Edit is blocked for users who can’t edit locked pages.</li>
<li>Although I’ve fixed the lock_parent function so it allows uploaded files to be attached to a locked page, it still prevents media already in the library from being attached when inserted.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Ideas</h3>
<ul>
<li>Include the locking checkbox for admins in the Quick Edit form.</li>
<li>On the settings screen, use a drop-down for selecting which capability is needed for editing locked page elements.</li>
<li>Implement a system to deal with descendants, e.g. an option to lock all descendants of a locked page or not.</li>
</ul>

WPML Multilingual & Multicurrency for WooCommerce


Es muy triste que en 2023 wordpress no tenga un sistema ML nativo.



Que la mejor opción a día de hoy, sea WPML a pesar de los multiples fallos y de la poca integración de este en plugins, es lamentable.Hace 20 años Joomla ya contaba con el ML nativo, que le da 10.000 patadas a WPML y es gratuito.


La mejor opción ML a pesar de ello, muy mala.


Not only did it kill my website performance. Not only was it beyond complicated and buggy. It is also alleged to be a scam. They charged me 80 USD to translate five pages, they've sent an invoice for well over 250 pages (majority of which are inaccessible; the translations do not exist). The China-based company who may or may not still have my credit card on file (there is no clear explanation and no replies to my email) have no interest in after sales support or refunding or even understanding the problem. This stinks of a scam.



My website is now broken. Despite an incredibly fast, cloud hosted, premium server we now have hanging pages, 404's all over the shop and a useless translation plugin called WPML did the damage.Note carefully (I did not) the language on the credits page- a clever use of English implies the credits drop down to a fraction of a cent after the initial introductory credits are used. Note their refund policy. Note the 1 star ratings.Note carefully the estimator only reads the current list of pages displayed / previewed (I think by default its 10 or so pages). You have to go digging to increase this number to show all pages, only then can you see the correctly estimated credits required.



Note the slow pace of feedback: one moment you've spent 25 credits. Return to your screen 30 minutes later: 150,000 are gone.



I feel so stupid as having previously (5+ years ago) I did trial this plugin and found it broke the site, it is incredibly badly written and not optimised in any way shape or form.



WPML is no better than a scam. You would do much better to create a spreadsheet of your content and take it direct to a language translation site or perhaps get someone to stick it through some AI. You can then import those back into another CMS. I cannot remember leaving a bad review on Wordpress for anything, but you must be warmed WooCommerce Multilingual is a rip off and it is no wonder others have called it a scam. 


WPML will break your website and take your money.


It works correctly to translate WooCommerce. Thanks to Waqas Bin Hasan for the support.


Good


This is the worst language plugin for WordPress. Find alternative which is easy. Its totally bloated and slows the site and really makes things too complicated


The worst

Make your store multilingual and enable multiple currencies.
