Works (sort of) and breaks everything else
by tomschulze·1 year ago

When the plugin is enabled, it’s impossible to save any Events Manager Settings anymore. With some trickery it’s possible to translate events themselves (you have to deactivate the plugin first though, and in the meantime all translations will appear everywhere).

Overall, it’s a nightmare. If I hadn’t paid for EM Pro I’d have given up ages ago.

Do NOT buy Events Manager Pro if you want to translate your website using WPML. It simply doesn’t work.

Used to work…but no more.

I used to run this Plugin for a few years to translate Events, and the chance to translate emails from the Settings page was excellent. However, this is no longer possible.
I noticed after a series of updates of WPML, Events Manager and PHP Upgrade (to 7.2) that this plugin is responsible for this error>
Deprecated: Function create_function() is deprecated in /homepages/1/d570148024/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/events-manager-wpml/events-manager-wpml.php

I now need to keep it deactivated if I want this error to disappear.
So sad…this was otherwise a great Plugin.

Must-have
by Gerard Blanco·6 years ago

If you have WPML and use Events Manager, this is a must. Works perfect. There are some (very few) parts that are not translatable yet, but 95% of the strings are translatable.

It doesn´t work with String Translation
