Problem: If you're experiencing issues with translating your FSE template for the homepage and noticing that another template appears instead of the translated version, this might be due to having duplicate homepage templates. Solution: We recommend that you ensure all related templates are translated and delete any duplicate templates you are not using from the Editor screen. Additionally, if the translated page still uses the default theme front page template, you might need to rename the template file in the theme folder. For example, changing the name of 'frontpage' to '1frontpage' in the templates directory ensures it is not used at all. Please verify the changes and see if the issue resolves.

Problem: The client is experiencing 404 errors on WooCommerce product links when accessed from the shop page. Additionally, there is a URL structure issue where the language prefix is duplicated, and the client wishes to have consistent URL structures across different languages. Solution: 1. To address the 404 errors: - Navigate to Settings > Permalinks in your WordPress Dashboard and resave the structure without making any changes. - Go to Products > All Products, switch to the English language using the language switcher at the top bar of the Admin, locate the product showing a 404 error, and click on "Quick edit". - Ensure that the 'Status' is set to 'Published'. - Clear the site's caches. 2. Regarding the URL structure issue, it is not possible to have identical URL structures in different languages due to the requirements of the WPML to pass language information. WPML offers three options for Language URL Formats, which you can explore here: Language URL options.

Problem: You need to translate the 'before' fields on a list widget in Elementor but are unable to find a solution online. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend translating your pages manually using the WordPress and Elementor Editor. Follow the steps described in the documentation. It's important to note that plugins and themes must be prepared for translation, which involves registering texts so they can be identified by translation software like WPML. Unfortunately, the specific field you mentioned is not registered, which limits direct WPML intervention.

Problem: The client is unable to translate the content of a page that uses an Elementor template; only the title appears in the translation interface. Solution: We recommend translating Elementor templates separately. For detailed instructions, please follow our guide on how to translate templates with WPML: Translating Elementor Templates with WPML
If the content is part of the standard page, it should be translatable when translating the page itself. If the content is part of the Elementor template, it will be translatable when you translate the template. If you encounter issues where only the page title is available for translation, try the following steps:
1. Make a minor edit to the page in the default language and update it. Then, try accessing the translation again to see if the issue is resolved. 2. Check the Elementor modules used on the page to determine if they are native to Elementor or if they come from the theme or a third-party plugin.
If the solution provided here is not applicable due to it being outdated or not relevant to your specific case, we encourage you to open a new support ticket. We also highly recommend checking the related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
