Problem: The client reported an issue where posts translated via WPML were not displaying correctly in English on the front-end. Only a few of the translated posts were visible in English despite switching the language. Solution: We advised the client to ensure WPML was registered and updated to the latest version. The client should then edit the default language page using Elementor, make a minor change, save it, revert the change, and save again. This process helps in correctly saving the post in the database, especially since the REST API, which is crucial for these operations, was temporarily disabled. After these steps, the client should re-translate the post. If the issue persists, we recommend visiting our known issues page to check for any related problems and ensure all themes and plugins are up to date.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where debug mode reveals errors like 'Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly' and translation loading for various domains is triggered too early, this indicates that some code in your plugin or theme is executing prematurely. Translations should ideally load at the 'init' action or later. Solution: We recommend checking the full error log to identify the specific plugins or themes causing these errors. The errors are likely due to plugins such as 'ultimate_vc', 'wpmf', and 'wc-aelia-foundation' loading WordPress translation files too early. You should report these errors to the respective plugin or theme authors as they need to adjust their code to prevent these errors from occurring.
