WPML 3.1.9 & CCTM collide on page editing making the page non-editable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Please make sure you are including enough information to make this a valid
bug report: https://code.google.com/p/wordpress-custom-content-type-
manager/wiki/ReportingBugs

What steps will reproduce the problem? (Be *specific*)
1. Try to edit page (a translatable type by WPML)

What is the expected output?
See all the fields, title, content, meta...

What do you see instead?
, but I see title only

check out this thread 
https://wpml.org/forums/topic/version-3-1-9-not-compatible-with-cctm-plugin-page
s-cannot-be-edited/

turning off or or the other plugin "solves" the problem
the result ends with the 
wordpress/wp-content/plugins/sitepress-multilingual-cms/sitepress.class.php on 
line 3987
I think the WPML try to do something on same thing as CCTM does and it turns 
out in to Maximum execution time error. (Only in WP debug mode: true, no other 
error is on the site what so ever.)

I'm expecting the problem only on one site from many, so I guess I use one 
concrete thing custom_meta or something on this website that makes the problem.

This one is tricky: plugin collision is impossible to prevent on WordPress due 
to its architectural limitations, and I can't debug WPML without purchasing it. 
 If you can upload the sitepress-multilingual-cms/sitepress.class.php file here 
I can look at it in more depth. 

If no errors are being logged, I would suspect that "@" is being used to 
suppress errors.  I really try to avoid that technique because it's an opaque 
way to ignore problems.

The problem (in my opinion) is in the WPML file: there's an uncheck do/while 
loop there and the condition that causes the loop to exit is never met.  Here's 
the relevant code from lines 3984 - 3993:

if ( $existing_post_name || $this->is_bad_slug( $slug, $post_type, $post_parent ) ) { $suffix = 2; do { $post_name_check_args[ 'post_name' ] = substr( $slug, 0, 200 - ( strlen( $suffix ) + 1 ) ) . "-$suffix"; $post_name_check_prepare = $wpdb->prepare( $post_name_check_query, array_values( $post_name_check_args ) ); $existing_post_name = $wpdb->get_var( $post_name_check_prepare ); $suffix ++; } while ( $existing_post_name ); $slug = $post_name_check_args[ 'post_name' ]; }

So that's an issue that WPML should resolve.  There are not standards in how WP 
handles some of the stuff around custom post-types -- even in the WP core, 
there are bugs, inconsistencies and things have been changing with each 
release, so it's not really an argument where you can say that the CCTM or WPML 
is handling them the right or wrong way... so the only logical thing to do in 
my opinion is to adjust the run-away code.  Don't build a loop that can get 
stuck.  At a minimum it needs to include a way to fail gracefully, e.g. by 
setting a number of max iterations.

Going a step further would mean more carefully looking at what the possible 
post names are, and adjust the code to look for that more effectively -- 
granted this is difficult when the WordPress API is so limited, but that's 
what's needed here.

Thanks a lot.. hope WPML will do something about it and give you credits at

Is there any way how to refund your time?

You should file an updated bug report/feature-request with WPML: I cannot file 
this because I don't have an account.
