Hello there,

Tell us what you are trying to do?

I installed Contact Form 7 Multilingual plugin and the form was lost in the list of Contact Forms 7 plugin on the WP dashboard.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-contact-form-7-with-wpml/

What is the link to your site?

You may see that the form's shortcode still does work, but there is no form in the list on the backend to edit it or to translate in translation management.
hidden link

Looking forward to your fast solution.

Many thanks,
Dmitry

Hi,

Thank you for contacting WPML Support. To take a closer look on this issue, please provide temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP Login info) to your site (preferably staging site), so that I can look into your setup and debug the issue.
Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it.

=== Please backup your database and website ===

✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important.

Thank you

Hi,

Thanks for taking care of this.

Not sure I got you. Did you want me to check and confirm something from WPML >> Support >> Troubleshooting page?

I can see the contact forms now! And I can see some translated pages (WPML > Translations).
But I still don't see 2 other pages the other user translated yesterday that I see on WPML >> Translation Management >> Translation Jobs for April 3. Can you compare this list with WPML >> Translations and figure out what's wrong, please?

Thanks and really appreciate it.

Much love,
Dmitry

Hello,

We had the same issue we did this:

- Go to WPML > Technical Support.
- Click on the 'Troubleshooting' link.
- Click on the 'Clear the cache in WPML' button.
- Click on the 'Remove ghost entries from translation tables' button.
- Click on the 'Configure language information' button.

The forms are back but something went wrong in the procces and some pages in the main language (French) have been duplicated. Now the empty duplicated pages are showing in the site and the original pages are not linked to their English translation pages anymore.

How can we fix this?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Norman,

My Contact Forms also disappeared after installing the contact form plugin for WPML from your website. I did all the steps above but I still can't see my contact form which is a big problem because I can not translate the content there.

Can you help me out with it, please?

Thanks,
Tevfikcan
