Hi,
I just installed your theme and face some problems. I am using WPML to switch between english and german language. I know, you told me, that the theme is not certified for the use with WPML.
Still, I wonder, why the english page (https://www.offroaddance.com) looks fine (besides the thumbnails which I have to regenerate), while the german version (https://www.offroaddance.com/?lang=de) looks completely smashed.
The preview of the german home page looks just fine. German and english version are identical besides, that I gave the german category id´s for the different blocks.
Do you have an idea, what could be the problem or how this can be solved ?
Additionally, I am having some maps on my post pages (i.e. https://www.offroaddance.com/black-rock-mountain-road-arizona-strip-english/). The map should show up below the text “And here is an overview of the area, we visited:”.
The maps are loaded in a div element as iframe and I am using the following custom css code to scale them for the content area width:
.embed-container {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 56.25%;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
}
.embed-container iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Unfortunately, the maps are not showing up, if I use this custom css. If I remove it, the map shows up, but uses the complete width of the content block + sidebar area and doesn´t stay within the content area.
Maybe you are also having an idea about this ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello Catalin,
thanks for your feedback.
I know, that you are not supporting WPML. But still I wonder, whether the language switching just works fine for the post view and the category view. Even for the english language it works fine on the homepage, which is based on Visual Composer. The only thing, which doesnt´t show up right, is the german version of the homepage.
I just don´t understand, why this should be a problem. For me, this doesn´t look like a WPML related problem.
Even the quick view of the german homepage version just shows up fine.
Regarding the second issue, I just removed the custom css. Now the map is visible (see: https://www.offroaddance.com/kanab-point-arizona-strip-english/), but it is not scaling the height of the map. This was taken care about with the css code, I posted before.
This worked fine in all themes, I used so far. Just with Newspaper, it is not working.
Hello Truman,
If you are using the https URL, please try to follow the next steps for your Translations. Try to load your desired translation from panel and then you can see in left corner of your browser, an icon with a shield and then try to Load unsafe scripts, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/aLm2aAFv5
Also, if your problem is still there, please try to translate manually your strings from the theme panel, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/s6bfE5NI6t
For your second request, I do not exactly understand what you want to display your height for your maps. As you can see, the iframe has own default settings, like so -> http://screencast.com/t/zDLu9Iz6s7Je So, if you want to rescale the height dimension you will have to change the iframe settings from it in order to achieve as you wish.
Thanks for your understanding!
Regarding the translations, this is all setup fine. Still the german version of the homepage is not showing up correctly. I think, the problem is, that for some reasons, the complete visual composer based german homepage is shown in the content area and the default sidebar is shown additionally, which is not happening in the english version of the homepage.
So my question would be, whether an identical page (german is a copy of the english visual composer based homepage) shows in english language as it should be and in german language an additional sidebar (the default sidebar) is shwon.
Regarding the iframe, I don´t know why, but it works now. Sorry, I don´t have any idea. I just put back the same css code, I used before and it works now.
Hello Truman,
As I have said you above, the WMPL is not tested with our theme and please notice that we cannot provide support for untested plugins and also, we cannot provide support for plugin implementation, sorry! Here is our support policy: https://forum.tagdiv.com/support-policy-2/
Thanks for your understanding!
As I said above, I don´t think it is a wPML related problem. It is more a probleme, why the theme shows an additional sidebar in the german version and not in the english version.
So for me, this looks more like a theme related problem.
Hello Truman,
Please keep in mind that until now, we have a lot of bad reports regarding on WPML plugin functionality with our theme and found this plugin is not supported by the theme. Please notice that our theme does not have any problems in this regard, also this type of plugin does not have any problems but when the plugin is used in our theme appear these types of issues (Newspaper+WPML=problems). Please notice that our theme is a very complex one which has a lot of code lines and the possibility to create a conflict with another untested plugin is very high.
As a hint, you can use Q Translate X plugin because most of our customers use it and they are satisfied with its functionality. Also, please notice that nor it is not a tested plugin and we cannot provide support for it and also we cannot say for sure that this will work 100% for you. Also, if you do not want to use this plugin, you have to find other plugins with this functionality and test how it works fine for you because we do not have any recommendation in this regard.
I hope that you understand the case with my explanation.
Thanks.
