Hi,
Which version of Events Manager, WPML and WordPress are you using?

Hi,
I am using the latest of each:
WordPress 4
Event Manager 5.5.3.1
Event Manager and WPML compatibility 0.3
The following WPML plugins:
WPML Multilingual CMS 3.1.7.2
WPML CMS Nav 1.4.5
WPML String Translation 2.0.9.1
WPML Sticky Links 1.3.5
WPML Translation Management 1.9.6
WPML Translation Analytics 1.0.6
WPML XLIFF 0.9.6
WPML Media 2.1.6
WooCommerce Multilingual 3.3.4
Using the default WP 2014 theme for testing.
One assumption that I have after spending hours trying to understand what’s causing this bug is the functionality in WPML that changes the slug of CPT per language (in WPML -> Translation Management -> Multilingual Content Setup -> Custom posts slug translation options).
It is turned on and cannot be switched off (I assume that it is because it has the WooCommerce WPML plugin active for supporting WooCommerce).
I tried different options for “events” and “locations” slugs and nothing helped (first install I didn’t change anything, second fresh install I tried to give a different slug per language).
I have no idea but it is easy to recreate – just install the components that I have described (including WooCommerce)…
Let me know how can I help…
Thanks

Hi again,
After more testing It looks to me that the problem is much more basic and fundamental.
It has nothing to do with WooCommerce
I’ll describe the steps that I’ve done:
Using DesktopServer, I installed a fresh WP test site (Version 4).
logged in and change the Permalinks to %postname%
Activated the default 2014 theme.
Uploaded three plugins only – Events Manager 5.5.3.1, Event Manager and WPML compatibility and WPML Multilingual CMS 3.1.7.2
Activated the plugins in this order – Events Manager, WPML, Event Manager and WPML compatibility
I verified that I see the Events Manager new pages in the Pages section.
Went to WPML setup wizard and did the simplest minimal configuration – added German as the second language (English is the default language), checked the Events and Locations CPT to “Translate”, checked the Event Categories and Event tags custom taxonomies to “Translate” as well.
After that I added the following data:
Added new location (English) and added the translation of this location.
Added new event category (English) and added the translation of this category.
Added new event (English), assigned to it the location and the event category.
Added the translation of this event (and assigned the translated location and category to it).
When I wanted to view the event category (English), there is nothing in the content area (sidebar and other elements are there).
BTW – the URL structure is http://www.example.dev/events/categories/sample-category-1
The single event page, the single location page and the categories (www.example.dev/events/categories) work just fine.
I went to the plugins admin area and deactivated the WPML plugin.
Visited the event category page again (www.example.dev/events/categories/sample-category-1) and the expected content displayed (Upcoming Events as a title and the single event listed underneath the title).
So I am now convinced that it is a compatibility between Events Manager and WPML.
Could you please help resolving this critical bug ?
Thank you

Hi,
Any updates on this bug ?
There is an open ticket in WPML support forum as well:

They are trying to reach you so please contact them in order to fix this bug.
Thanks
The development team are working on a large number of issues related to recent upgrades of WPML for the next update of Events Manager, so the release should clear up recent problems with EM and WPML.
