[Plugin: WordPress Multi Language] compatibility with Post Type Switcher

Hello guys,

I’m trying to make two plugins work together: WP Multi Language and Post Type Switcher.

Once installed, as soon as I switch a post type into another, it will disappear from the admin area.

I did some research and found some people who already had this issue, but it’s a closed thread and it’s unclear to me what to do next.

It appears that Post Type Switcher would need to update the WPML database to take into account the switch. I tried to paste the recomended code at the end of post-type-switcher.php, but it throws an error about the update method.

Here’s the code:

// in case of using the WPML plugin
if(function_exists('icl_object_id')){
// adjust field 'element_type' in table 'wp_icl_translations'
// from 'post_OLDNAME' to 'post_NEWNAME'
// the post_id you look for is in column: 'element_id'

if($post->post_type == 'revision'){
if(is_array($post->ancestors)){
$ID = $post->ancestors[0];
}
}else{
$ID = $post->ID;
}

$wpdb->update("{$wpdb->prefix}icl_translations", array('element_type' => 'post_' . $new_post_type_object->name), array('element_id' => $ID));
}

Would you know guys of a way to correctly interpret and place that code?

Cheers,
