Other recommended plugins If your project is a music store, and WooCommerce is more than you need it is possible to use Music Store plugin Or if you need a general purpose music and video player, not especific for WooCommerce, CP Media Player – Audio Player and Video Player plugin Multilingual Support (WPML) The plugin ships with a wpml-config.xml file in the plugin root that registers the three custom fields used by the “Select my own demo files” feature with WPML: _wcmp_demos_list _wcmp_own_demos _wcmp_direct_own_demos All three are registered with action=”copy-once”, which means: When a new translation is created, the demo files and their activation flags are copied from the source language to the new translation at creation time. Once the translation exists, subsequent updates to the source language do NOT overwrite the translation. Editors can customise per-language demos (for example, to use a sample with a different voiceover or accent) without losing their changes on the next source save. This is the conservative default that does not change behaviour for sites that do not explicitly opt in. If your site should propagate demo file changes from the source language to all translations on every update, go to WPML -> Settings -> Custom Field Translation and change the action for each of the three fields above from “Copy once” to “Copy”. After updating the plugin (or after first activation on a site that has WPML installed), go to WPML -> Support -> Troubleshooting and click Clear cache in WPML so the new configuration is picked up.
