Hi,
These are some notes ... somewhere along the line WPML gets confused between post categories and taxonomy categories perhaps.
1a) No WPML on Portfolio Category Page any sidebar: Choices Latest News (works), Choices Latest Portfolio (works), Recent Posts (works)
1b) No WPML on Posts Category Page any sidebar: Choices Latest News (works), Choices Latest Portfolio (works), Recent Posts (works)
2a) WPML on Portfolio Category Page any sidebar: Choices Latest News (no), Choices Latest Portfolio (works), Recent Posts (no)
2b) WPML on Posts Category Page any sidebar: Choices Latest News (works), Choices Latest Portfolio (works), Recent Posts (works)
Still looking...
Thanks,
Nick
