ACF + WPML values not being saved

Hi all,

I’m creating a multilanguage site with ACF for the first time. I’m working with ACF for a long time now, but this whole WPML + ACF is new for me.

I followed all the steps setting up acf multilingual, but my values are not being saved.

I created a simple text field where you can fill in a Car brand. The field shows up in both languages EN and NL but as soon as I fill in a brand i.e Audi and save my page, after a refresh the value is gone. (this works for both languages).

Am I doing something wrong here?

Both ACF and WPML are on there latest versions.

Edit:
I created a new website with a clean install of ACF and WPML, did everything from the tutorial: http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/multilingual-custom-fields/ and http://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/setting-wpml-advanced-custom-fields/ but this result in the same issue.

Hi

I got the same issue, the fields show up as they should but nothing is saved. Did you figure this out?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Not yet. I’ve been searching for a while but did not find a solution.

I have to say, ACF is a great plugin. But the support here from the developers on this forum is terrible…

Hey Jochem!

It seems I got it to work. What did the trick för me was switching all the alternatives under ‘WPML -> Translation management page’ from ‘Do nothing’ to ‘Translate’. See attached image(in swedish but i think it’s clear anyhow).

Hope it helps!
