Analysing/editing of Wordpress xml files (online shop)

Question

Hi to all you experts, 
 I'm desperately looking for a Studio 2019 filetype that allows me to analyze and work on XML files generated from a Wordpress site (online shop). The standard XML filetype is working quite properly for the static web pages, but the shop data aren't read/analyzed/recognized at all. I tried to define a custom XML filetype (e.g. according to the - very valuable - instruction on https://multifarious.filkin.com/ ), but failed - probably because I don't know too much about the XML file format - and I need to submit a quotation for both parts of the website (and naturally also have to work on those), not only for the pages. Can someone help? Thanks a lot for your assistance!

 Can you share a sample file so we can give you a hint?

Corinna Ortmann Thanks for the sample file. The first thing you need to do is identify what should actually be translated in this file. Quickly reviewing this there is actually very little that looks as though it would be translatable... maybe just this part: < content:encoded > There are also some statuses and post types that may or may not be required for translation... I think you'd need to check with your client, so things like these: < wp:comment_status > < wp:status > < wp:post_type > The out of the box XML filetype will open this file and it extracts all of this along with a lot of other stuff I'm pretty sure you don't want. So the first step is to determine what needs to be translated. Once you have this information it should be fairly sraightforward. For example, I created a filetype using just two rules like this. One to prevent anything from being extracted and then anoter to extract only the content of the content:encoded element above: See if any of this helps you. Also, you mentioned that this file is not being handled at all and it should be. Can you tell us more about what happens when you try to open it?

 This has nothing to do with the filetype settings. I reckon if you open this as a single file for translation and not as part of your project it will probaby work. If it doesn't then maybe you have this file open in another application somewhere? Worth checking your processes to see what may be hanging onto it. 
 If this is not the problem then it " might " be due to a known bug in Studo related to validation. Try turning off all of these checks in your filetype validation before creating your project:
