Maelezo
The AFCML (Advanced Custom Fields [ACF] Multilingual) plugin extends WPML, lets you translate sites using ACF and introduces a feature that allows users to sync repeater fields across translations.
In combination with flexible content fields and when the content should vary per language, it can lead to unexpected behavior, so that this plugin does the following:
- Define a constant that sets the default value for the repeater sync checkbox.
- Remove the meta box that displays the repeater sync checkbox in the post edit screen.
- Delete the option that stores the sync status in the database.
