Background of the issue:
I am working on a site under development and using WPML to manage translations. After completing and reviewing the translation, I noticed an issue with the icon display.
Symptoms:
The gear logo remains visible even after completing and reviewing the translation, and I want to change it to a pen shape.
Questions:
How can I publish the translation immediately?
How can I change the icon from a gear to a pen shape?
Before proceeding further, may I request you to try the following please?
1) Take a full backup of your site and database before proceeding. It is highly advised to try these on a dev or staging site first, so your live site isn't compromised.
Can you please try the following?
2) Deactivate all plugins except WPML and String Translation.
3) Switch to a standard theme like 2024 or 2021.
4) Check for the issue if it still happens.
