Problem: After moving the site to a new domain, the client experienced issues with WPML settings and translation mappings. They were unable to select translations on the mapping page, and some Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) were not displaying after changing the language. Solution: We first confirmed the details of the previous domain and ensured that the site was properly migrated without active WPML subscriptions on the old site. We then checked the WPML configuration on the new domain. For the disappearing ACF fields, we noted that translating the Field Groups post type is not recommended as per our documentation, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/translate-sites-built-with-acf/.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues with ACF fields not displaying when you change the language on your profile page, it might be because the content is created directly inside the theme's template file. This setup can prevent the profile page from being translated using the WPML Translation Editor or the WordPress Editor. Solution: We recommend setting the ACF Field Groups to
Translatable
within WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation. After this adjustment, translate the field group used for the profile page and edit the fields in the translated field group.
