If you're experiencing a 404 error when clicking on the translated version of a page or post, it might be due to a conflict with your custom permalink structure. Specifically, if your structure includes
/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
, this could be the root of the issue as WordPress does not fully support such structures.
Solution:
We recommend switching to one of the default permalink options under Settings >> Permalinks, such as "Day and name". After switching, make sure to resave the permalink settings. This adjustment has resolved similar issues in the past and should help in accessing the translated versions of your pages and posts without encountering a 404 error.

The client is developing a multi-language website and is unsure how to effectively manage the homepage URL structure for SEO and usability.
Solution:
We recommend maintaining the default language (e.g., English) at the root URL (/) for optimal SEO and usability. The translated homepage (e.g., German) should use a language-specific path like
/de/
. This approach is beneficial for both search engines and user navigation.
We advise using WPML’s built-in language switcher, prominently displayed in the header or menu, facilitating easy language switching without disrupting the user experience. We generally do not recommend a full-screen language selector on the homepage as it can negatively affect SEO and usability. For those using SEO plugins like Yoast, it's beneficial to integrate the WPML SEO plugin. For further guidance, please refer to the following documentation:

Problema: Il cliente ha configurato WPML con i sotto-domini per ogni lingua, ma riscontra problemi con il selettore delle lingue che non permette di tornare alla versione italiana del sito quando si naviga nelle versioni inglese o francese. Soluzione: Il problema del selettore delle lingue potrebbe essere stato risolto riavviando il sito, il che ha probabilmente resettato la cache che interferiva con il corretto funzionamento del selettore.

Problem: The client needs to export the WPML configuration and is encountering a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the XML file via Multilingual Tools. This error typically indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize access, possibly due to server permissions, security settings, or firewall rules. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you try the following steps: 1. Temporarily disable all non-essential plugins, keeping only the required WPML plugins active. 2. Switch to a default theme, such as Twenty Twenty-One, to rule out any theme-related issues. 3. If the problem persists, consider installing your site on a local server (e.g., using LocalWP or XAMPP) to determine if it’s a hosting-related problem. Please ensure to back up your database before making any changes.

Problema: Desde la instalación de WPML, el cliente tiene problemas con las metadescripciones, apareciendo 'spanish' y textos raros.

Problema: Estás intentando actualizar el plugin WPML y sus complementos, pero enfrentas problemas para conectar tu sitio con wpml.org, lo cual es necesario para buscar nuevas versiones y actualizaciones de seguridad. Un plugin de seguridad o una configuración del firewall podría estar bloqueando esta conexión. Solución: 1. Desactiva cualquier plugin de seguridad que tengas instalado y contacta con tu proveedor de hosting para asegurarte de que no haya directivas del firewall que impidan la conexión con nuestros servidores. 2. Aumenta el límite de memoria de WordPress a un mínimo de 128Mb. Para esto, agrega el siguiente código en tu archivo wp-config.php, justo encima de la línea /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:
Puedes verificar el límite de memoria actual en la sección WPML -> Soporte de tu sitio.

Problem: You are experiencing issues with product rejections in Google Merchant Center due to a currency mismatch. Although your settings in Merchant Center are correct, Google's crawlers, which are mostly from the USA, detect USD instead of GBP during their crawling process. Solution: Unfortunately, this issue is beyond our control as Google decides the region from which it crawls the site. Your currency settings are correct, but Google's bots, primarily operating from the USA, default to USD. For more information on how Google handles locale-adaptive pages, you can visit Google's documentation on locale-adaptive pages.
