Background of the issue:
I am trying to preview content changes made to this page in the editor: hidden link. I expected to see a preview that reflects the changes made to the page before publishing.

Symptoms:
An outdated preview that does not show any of the new changes made. This issue only occurs when the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin is active. When the plugin is deactivated, the preview functionality works correctly. A screen recording demonstrating the issue is available at: hidden link

Questions:
Why does the preview functionality break when the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin is active?
How can I fix the preview issue while keeping the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin active?

Can you provide us with a site Duplicator package for internal debugging?

Please exclude all the media files, etc, to keep the package minimal.

Please confirm if this approach is acceptable to you!

I’ve already provided access to the staging site, where you can fully inspect the current setup and perform any debugging as needed. Since it’s a working copy of the site that accurately reflects the current state, it should be sufficient for your investigation.

That said, if you still require a Duplicator package for internal debugging purposes, I’m happy to provide one—excluding media files to keep it minimal, as requested.

Please confirm whether the staging site is sufficient, or if you would prefer the Duplicator package instead.

We’ve already provided access to our staging site, where the issue can be fully reproduced and debugged. This environment mirrors the live setup and should be sufficient for investigation.

Please confirm whether the staging access is enough, or if you would prefer the package instead.
Kindly check this as soon as possible — this is very important, as the issue is currently affecting our live site.

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you

Hello,

I apologize for the delay in responding. I will take care of this ticket; the reply time will be shorter now.

The staging environment should be fine, I'll make a copy if I need to debug locally.

I visited the page and edited it in the backend, and the preview mode worked. Did you mean the Visual Builder? When I tried to enable it, I got a blank page. But, I deactivated WPML and the error persisted. Can you please clarify?

On the other hand, can you please update WPML and its add-ons to their latest version?

Best Regards,
Otto

Hello,

Thanks.

I managed to see the issue in your staging site.

Then I made a copy of it and deployed it locally. I disable all the plugins except Divi Accessibility, Divi Supreme Pro, WPML and its add-ons.

And the issue does not happen on my local server:

Is it possible that the server caches too aggressively? It seems related to the environment.
