I’ve been trying to install the translation WPLM plugin but it crashes the site. The developers of that plugin say it may have something to do with Simple:Press or one of it’s plugins.
By any chance, do you know the plugin? Have you had any other user having this issue?
Thanks and best regards
crashes site? what does that mean? takes entire server down? anything in error log?
Hi to all!
It turns out there’s no conflict between Simple:Press and WPML pulgin 
!!
The conflict is with the Visual Composer plugin.
*Sorry for the “crashing” term… I don’t know the exact term, but when I activate WPML the site doesn’t load, it stays “loading” forever. But it turns out to be just with two pages, where I have the Simpe:Press tool “Recent post grid” (which unfortunately I have in the Home and in my “Magazine” that has 100+ entries…). Other pages, including my Forum load correctly :).
Thanks anyway for (as always) your quick response and the intention to help!!!
Best regards
sorry, what is the “simple press tool recent post grid”? do you mean our recent posts widget? or recent posts template tag?
and how does the visual composer plugin enter into the equation?? what does that plugin do?
I’m sorry!! It’s the Visual Composer tool “recent post grid”.
I was advised by the WPML people to deactivate/activate all my plugins to see which one was conflicting, they suggested it might be Simple Press, but it wasn’t.
Visual Composer is a design plugin to edit the post and pages, and that’s the one conflicting with WPML. Just wanted to let you know that there is no issue with Simple Press

Interesting, I will try next week if I can create a bilingual Forum.
I played a bit and although it is no problem to install the Forum on a bilingual site it is not possible I think to click a language button and see the Forum interface switch language
WPML creates a 2nd page of each page where you can place a translation. However you can’t install the Forum on 2 pages (eg. … interface NL and interface UK) using the same database.
The language can be switched with our Language/Theme selection plugin but it does, of course, only apply to the prompts, labels, buttons etc… not the actual post content.
OK, thanks. I installed the plugin and have been searching for quite some time where te switch is located in the interface. Can’t find it. As I understand it this switch must be visible for the end user (member)?
By default it is located below the stats area at the top of the footer of the forum.
Remember that the languages list will only show if there are more than one language MO files available. If there is just one then it will not be displayed.
OK, thanks! It was not visible because my child theme was used to remove most of the footer.
Ah – that explains it of course. You can place it wherever you prefer it to be.
Yes I managed to put the language switch at the top! Now I am still wondering if it is possible to improve the setup. In WPML you create a page for each language: e.g. I have a Dutch webpage for help and an English webpage for help and depending on the language of your browser you visit the page of your language for help. I assume it is not possible to do the same with the Forum page because you can only put the Forum on one specific page?
