Issue with plugin Metaslider after updating to WP 6.1

[bagaweb]

Do not know if this issue is related to qTranslate-XT or the Metaslider plugin... anyway:

With WordPress 6.0.3 I was simply inserting these captions "[:en]English caption[:it]Italian caption" in the slider settings and it was working as expected, "English caption" was shown on the English version and "Italian caption" on the Italian version.

After updating to WordPress 6.1, captions are showing up like this even on front-end, "[:en]English caption[:it]Italian caption" on both English and Italian versions.

Edit
inc/slide/metaslide.image.class.php

search for
`//add caption

   if (strlen($slide['caption'])) {
        $html .= '<div class="caption-wrap"><div class="caption">' . $tst2. $slide['caption'] . '</div></div>';
    }`

change like this

`//add caption

	if (function_exists('qtranxf_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage')) $slide['caption']=qtranxf_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($slide['caption']);
    if (strlen($slide['caption'])) {
        $html .= '<div class="caption-wrap"><div class="caption">' . $tst2. $slide['caption'] . '</div></div>';
    }`

Thanks a lot for you help @vonsch76 !
Your solution works.

Is the issue related to Metaslider plugin or WordPress 6.1. itself?
I suppose I should change those lines everytime Metaslider receives an update. Maybe is there a way to add some lines to functions.php file inside the theme?

[vonsch76]

Haven't really checked in details, but Metaslider would need to have a filter for that. At the moment there is no such. Also the issue would not exists if Metaslider would get the caption with a function like get_post().

[bagaweb]

Do you think we should point this issue to Metaslider authors?

[vonsch76]

Yes, I believe adding filters would be a valuable add-on.

[bagaweb]

What should I exactly ask?

[vonsch76]

Either a filter before caption is put out or some other method to get the caption like get_post where the filtest are ran.

Seems that something has changed in Metaslider and it works now without extra code changes. Still testing, though.

[bagaweb]

I can read this on their changelog:

FIXED: Fix compatibility with plugin qTranslate-XT, #294;

But I can still see the same issue... What am I missing?

WordPress 6.1.1
qTranslate-XT 3.12.1
MetaSlider 3.28.2

Please have a look at campingmarmolada[dot]com

[vonsch76]

The closing backet.

Looks like

[:it]La tua vacanza in Val di Fassa[:en]Your holiday in Val di Fassa[:de]Ihr Urlaub in Fassatal[:fr]Vos vacances en Val di Fassa

While it should look like

[:it]La tua vacanza in Val di Fassa[:en]Your holiday in Val di Fassa[:de]Ihr Urlaub in Fassatal[:fr]Vos vacances en Val di Fassa[:]

for all strings to allow qTranslate-xt to operate.

[vonsch76]

check the wiki https://github.com/qtranslate/qtranslate-xt/wiki/Multilingual-fields

I tried to add the closing bracket and now it looks as it is, e.g. closing bracket appering at the end of the caption... Still not separating the languages.

[vonsch76]

I have the same. Are the captions entered manually? Do you have any error codes?

[vonsch76]

Here is the code on the metaslider

inc/slide/metaslide.image.class.php:662: $html .= '

' . apply_shortcodes($slide['caption']) . '

';

the same repeats about 100 lines later.

you can still inster the same

if (function_exists('qtranxf_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage')) $slide['caption']=qtranxf_useCurrentLanguageIfNotFoundUseDefaultLanguage($slide['caption']);

before the slide caption in the worst case scenario.

Please have a look at the attache screenshot:

[vonsch76]

Should see the server side what is happening. Obviously the filter is not running. Check if at qtranslate-xt setting in the advanced part the ml-slider and the ml-slide is checked.

[bagaweb]

Yes both ml-slide and ml-slider are checked in the advance settings of qtranslate-xt,

[vonsch76]

Only you have access to the backend, start checking in the ml code why the filter is not called. Try to change, call the filter manually, etc. Manual labour as usual.
Quoted where you should start. Others haven't reported, mine is different - as it works.

[bagaweb]

Yes I do have the access to the backend, how can I check this filter? Thanks for your help.

[vonsch76]

You have the code, save the $html in a file before and after. This is kind of DIY work.
I have installed the latest 3.28.3 and still seems fine. My WP is older though, I never install the newest in production environment.

[bagaweb]

Ok that might be the reason why it is working on your side! You older WP version.
I started having this issue after updating to 6.1.
Is there anyone here having my issue with WP 6.1, QTX 3.13.0 and MetaSlider 3.28.3?

[bagaweb]

MetaSlider has been updated to 3.29.0 and the issue with qTranslate-XT is still here.

[vonsch76]

Works flawless for me. Upgraded only for your sake. As I told you earlier the issue is something local with your setup.

[bagaweb]

Did you also update WordPress to its last version or just the plugin?

[vonsch76]

I never update to the latest WP, always behind with 1 major version.

[bagaweb]

That's why you don't see the error.
I'd like to understand if the issue is related to QTX rather tham MetaSlider.

[vonsch76]

Made a test with my other page. Newest WP 6.1.1, Metaslider 3.29.0 There is no error, qtranslate works as it should. Check for yourself https://portumlines.hu/en/metaslider-test/

[bagaweb]

Thanks for your feedback.

There must be some js and css loading errors on my side, please check this screenshot:

[vonsch76]

Thanks for reminding me, I have checked without cache. Works now, you can see for yourself. When you click the flag, the legend under the picture will change as it should. Seems that the error is somewhere on your side, but you need to check the local logs to figure it out.

I should try to upgrade to PHP 8.1 and see what happens.

[vonsch76]

Seen no effect on that. You have some other problem, as told you earlier. Try to switch off the other plugins.

No other plugins are active.

Check at advanced whether ml-slider and ml-slide is enabled for translation.

Yes that was already been checked.
Will you be so kind to send me some screenshots or the troubleshooting export?

[herrvigg]

Can someone summarize the status of this ticket?
From QTX 3.14.0 the debug information becomes more compact, to help reproducing the problems.

[vonsch76]

Seems some isolated problem at @bagaweb with regard the translation of the language. Tried, but unable to reproduce, works fine on my end.

[bagaweb]

{ "PHP_VERSION": "7.4.3", "WP_VERSION": "6.2", "QTX_VERSION": "3.14.0", "Plugins": [ "MetaSlider 3.29.1", "qTranslate-XT 3.14.0" ] }

I can confirm with the latest updates the problem is finally solved!!!
We can close this issue.
Thank you
