Hi, I’ve only started to learn about wordpress and themes a few days ago so my apologies in advance if this is a user error.

Using Catch Everest Free theme with WPGlobus translator plug-in. Everything translates perfectly between English and French, except for the Slider Title and Text. The Posts have both languages defined and when I go to Appearance..Customize, even the slider translation works just fine. However, when I exit (even without Saving), the slider on the published site is stuck on whatever language was showing in the preview. I can reproduce the error anytime.
Thanks in advance for your help.

@PierreSG: You need to save it and also you need to check in your site cache. Maybe you have cache plugin install. If so that go to that pluign setting and clear your cache.

Please post in your site URL for more details.

Thanks Sakin. No cache plug-in, just running Akismet and Polylang plug-ins (I switched from WPGlobus to Polylang to see if it was related to the multilingual plug-in). Still the same problem. Switched to Catch Kathmandu free and I have exactly the same issue. When I go to Appearance..Customize, the screen preview works perfectly. If I save while the preview is in English, the slider on the published site is always in English no matter what. If I save while the preview is in French, then the published slider is in French and doesn’t toggle. Everything else toggles just fine. Here are URLs to site and two snapshots of the preview screen.

@PierreSG: Catch Everest Free version is not compatible to multilanguage plugin like Polylang or WPML, only pro version is compatible to Polylang and WPML plugin. For free version, first build child theme (for child theme refer to http://catchthemes.com/blog/create-child-theme-wordpress/ ) and then add the following code in your child theme functions.php file.

if ( ! function_exists( 'catcheverest_wpml_invalidcache' ) ) :
/**
 * Template for Clearing WPML Invalid Cache
 *
 * To override this in a child theme
 * simply create your own catcheverest_wpml_invalidcache(), and that function will be used instead.
 *
 * @since Catch Everest Pro 2.0
 */
function catcheverest_wpml_invalidcache() {
	delete_transient( 'catcheverest_post_sliders' );
	delete_transient( 'catcheverest_homepage_featured_content' );
	delete_transient( 'catcheverest_homepage_headline' );
	delete_transient( 'catcheverest_footer_content_new' ); // Footer Content New

} // catcheverest_wpml_invalidcache
endif;

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'catcheverest_wpml_invalidcache' );

Thank you so much Sakin, problem solved !!!

Being that I switched to Kathmandu and category sliders, I used your instructions to create a child theme (just had to upload your zip file) and then used instructions similar to yours but from an older posting “Does catch kathmandu support multilingual” to add code to the child’s functions.php. Category slider now toggles perfectly between English and French. Until now, I haven’t coded anything for the past 20 years… just loves wordpress. Thanks again.

@PierreSG: Thanks for your appreciation and it’s great learning.
