Hallo there, There seems to be an incompatibility between wp-stateless and WPML https://wpml.org/forums/topic/incompatibility-between-wpml-and-wp-stateless-plugin/#post-3065622

One of the suggestions from the WPML team was to contact you and point you to the https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/go-global-program/ where they can help other 3rd party developers make their plugins compatible with WPML.

Is it (or could it be) part of your planning to try for compatibility with WPML?

Is there any update on this?

It appears that this plugin is still not compatible with WPML. This is really unfortunate, as this plugin is very cool.

Any chances to release a fix on this issue, waiting for this fix since 2019?

It appears that the field WP-Stateless sm_cloud from the original media is not copied. Maybe when WPML duplicates the post when that field isn't there. So this appears to be a race condition.

Things I've tried:

• Configuring WPML to duplicate the field on media duplication;
• Changing the plugin mode (stateless and ephemeral).

However there is a workaround. It envolves asking WPML to duplicate the successfully GCS uploaded media post fields to the linked/translated (and not uploaded to GCS) one. I think this is not good UX. I would prefer my clients to just upload the media again.

I think I got something working.

Basically, there is a wp_stateless_media_synced filter being applied by the plugin after the media is successfully uploaded to GCS. Using that hook, the sm_cloud field is copied to all other translations.

I don't know if there is a better way of doing it, but it's seems to be working via WordPress interface.
