WPML consists of several modules. The basic module turns WordPress sites multilingual. Other modules help with an enhanced translation process, string translation, media translation and other functions.
You can learn about the different modules in the WPML Core and Addons page.
After you enable WPML, you’ll see a Multilingual Widget in the Admin Dashboard. This widget provides access to the different functions in WPML. You can also access them through the WPML menu.
- Languages – Determine the site’s languages and control how different language contents are organized.
- Theme and plugins localization – Choose between the traditional .mo files or using WPML’s String Translation.
- Navigation – Control the appearance of site-wide navigation based on WordPress pages.
- Sticky links – This is an essential function for running full websites with WordPress. It guarantees that links between pages can never break.
Translating Site Content
WPML creates different posts, pages and custom types for translations and connects them together. This means that every page has its own title, body and meta-fields.
WPML offers two ways for translating content:
- Manually, by clicking on the + icons
- Using WPML’s Translation Management module
Translation Dashboard
Learn how to translate posts, pages and custom data types in - translating your content. You can also translate post categories and custom taxonomies.
Most WordPress sites contain texts outside of posts. WPML translates these texts using the String Translation module.
To display image galleries in translated content, you should use WPML Media. It will allow you to connect the same media files to content in different languages.
Advanced Translation
Once you’ve translated the site’s content and general strings, you might be interested in translating the site’s navigation and using localized permalinks.

M) Requesting Support - top
Please remember you have purchased a very affordable theme and you have not paid for a full-time web design agency. Occasionally we will help with small tweaks, but these requests will be put on a lower priority due to their nature.
Support is also 100% optional and we provide it for your connivence, so please be patient, polite and respectful.
Before seeking support, please...
- Make sure your question is a valid Theme Issue and not a customization request.
- Make sure you have read through the documentation and any related video guides before asking support on how to accomplish a task.
- Make sure to double check the theme FAQs.
- Try disabling any active plugins to make sure there isn't a conflict with a plugin. And if there is this way you can let us know.
- If you have customized your theme and now have an issue, back-track to make sure you didn't make a mistake. If you have made changes and can't find the issue, please provide us with your changelog.
- Almost 80% of the time we find that the solution to people's issues can be solved with a simple "Google Search". You might want to try that before seeking support. You might be able to fix the issue yourself much quicker than we can respond to your request.
- Make sure to state the name of the theme you are having issues with when requesting support via Themeforest.
