    Hi,
    I added the field for the Featured Image using the ID _thumbnail_id and everything works properl. When I translate the post using the WMPL plugin, that Feauted Image field disappears completely from metabox.

    Default language post: https://tppr.me/1s75L
    Translated post: https://tppr.me/k7Ukn

    Do you have any idea of what might be causing the problem and how to solve it?

    Thank you!

    That’s because WPML made a unique new page for each translation, so you need to choose post metas twise.

    Thank you @Jackky for your help! That’s correct.

    @David: Please take a look at media translation guide from WPML. Make sure you enable this feature. It allows using the same media files in content in different languages.

    Hi Anh, and thanks Jackky for your help!
    I added the WPML Media plugin, but the field with “_thumbnail_id” is not yet displayed in the translated post. Any other suggestions?

    Thanks,
    D

    Hmm, does that work if you remove the field and use WordPress featured image instead?
