Title: [Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] P2P WPML = problem when connecting posts Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # [Plugin: Posts 2 Posts] P2P WPML = problem when connecting posts * Resolved [MDesigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdesigner/) * (@mdesigner) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/) * First of all, thanks for a great plugin! * Sadly, I ran up against difficulties trying to make Posts 2 Posts (0.5.2-alpha) and WPML Multilingual CMS plugin work together. * When editing post in secondary language eg. German and trying to select connected posts, I get results from English posts (default language). After saving, the chosen connections (the English ones – because it’s impossible to choose German posts) disappear from metabox. They are stored in the database, but connection from German post to English post obviously doesn’t show on website. * Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?‎ * I’ve used Posts 2 Posts (0.2) with WPML Multilingual CMS plugin before and it worked OK (probably because v0.2 stores data in wp_postmeta table and WPML translates connected posts’ IDs).

Thought I would give this issue a bump, and check if you have found a solution before I go into the post2post plugin and start doing hack surgery. * The key issue seems to be: if the post is an EN post it should only show available connections in the EN language. Maybe place a switch when registering the connection… * Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated. * [Amir Helzer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amirhelzer/) * (@amirhelzer) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957645) * We can work on this together with the author of the P2P plugin. * If you’re listening, contact us and I’ll create an account for you on WPML.org, so that you can access the recent versions. * [http://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/](http://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/) * [Baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden03/) * (@baden03) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957646) * [@amirhelzer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amirhelzer/): Sounds like a plan! I will write [scribu](http://profiles.wordpress.org/users/scribu/) direct and let him know (in case he missed this thread). Thanks for your quick response and willingness to help. * Thread Starter [MDesigner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mdesigner/) * (@mdesigner) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957647) * Hi Baden, unfortunately I’ve ended up with dirty hacks. But it works 😉 * It would be great if P2P becomes compatible with WMPL (or the other way around) in future releases. * Plugin Author [scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/) * (@scribu) * [15 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957648) * I do not have time to learn the internals of the WPML plugin, but I am willing to add actions and filters to P2P, as necessary. * [Baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden03/) * (@baden03) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957668) * [@scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/), AmirHelzer is willing to help with the [filters and actions needed for WPML integration](http://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/). If you would be willing to add me as a contributor to your plugin, I would be very happy to work with Amir and fork a version of Posts 2 Posts that works with WPML sites. All changes would be documented, so that you could easily include them in your next release if you like. What do you think? * Plugin Author [scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/) * (@scribu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957669) * [@baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden/): I recommend you fork it on github: * [http://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/](http://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/) * Advantages: * 1) You don’t need permission from anyone; just a free github account. * 2) I can easily see what you’re doing and just as easily merge your changes. * If you don’t know how to use git yet, learn. It’s worth it. 😉 * [Baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden03/) * (@baden03) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957670) * [@scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/): Thanks for the tip. I’ll do exactly that. Again, thanks for the amazingly useful plugin, it is by far one of the more useful ones out there. * github, here I come. * Plugin Author [scribu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scribu/) * (@scribu) * [14 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957671) * Follow-up: [http://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/issues/12](http://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/issues/12) * [lencinhaus](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lencinhaus/) * (@lencinhaus) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-posts-2-posts-p2p-wpml-problem-when-connecting-posts/#post-1957696) * Check out our new [p2p-wpml plugin](https://github.com/cubica/p2p-wpml), it should solve most of the integration issues you reported. Hope that helps, bye!
