Header button

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
The button in my header (Created with Elementor) points to the default language only in all the secondary languages.

Solution:
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Languages".

- Check the "Adjust IDs for multilingual functionality" checkbox.

- Click the Save button.

- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks".

- Click the "Save" button to flush the permalinks cache.

This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.
