Hello,

I created a minimal installation of WordPress, WPML, and all necessary WPML add-ons, and themes.

You can access the WordPress dashboard using the link below:

- hidden link

Try to replicate the issue with a simple example page.

Regards,

Hi, I have created a sample page with a custom block.
Page name: Custom Block

Edit page URL:
hidden link

It is showing an "Attempt Block Recovery" error there.

Hello,

thanks, I checked further, and it seems to be an issue with translate block content and your custom code.

For example, in this test page: hidden link, if you check the code stored attribute and the rendered HTML don’t match. HTML has text from default language.

Attribute in the block comment: btntext: "View all testimonials es"

Actual inner HTML: <a>View all testimonials a</a>

Gutenberg validates by comparing the editor’s expected markup (from the attributes) with the saved HTML. Since it does not match, it flags the block as invalid.

If you adjust this manually in code view, you will see block is working fine.

Please check with your developer further and adjust the code, to ensure the block defines the attribute from the anchor text. I can not debug your whole custom code, but most likely in block.json (or registerBlockType) and in your save() function render.

Regards,
Drazen
