Ilyes Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Pacific/Easter (GMT-06:00)	Hello, There could be some configuration to change, please follow the steps below: - Go to "WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation". - Click the "Show Hidden Fields" link. - Search for the Yoast title and set it to "Translate". - Search for the Yoast description and set it to "Translate" --- If that did not help, I would like to ask for temporary access to your test site’s wp-admin and FTP to investigate the issue further. If necessary, I may need to replicate your site locally. To do this, I will temporarily install a plugin called “Duplicator” on your site, which will enable me to create a copy of your site and its content. Once the problem has been resolved, I will delete the local site. Please let me know if you agree to this. It is important to note that you should back up your site and database before proceeding, and you can use a plugin like Duplicator for this purpose. Here’s a link to the plugin: http://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ If you do not see the form below, please do not enter your credentials as they will be publicly exposed: hidden link For your privacy and security, please ensure that you make your reply a private one.

Ilyes Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Pacific/Easter (GMT-06:00)	Hello, I'm not sure if I understood the issue correctly, as yoast title and description are both translatable by WPML, here is an example on your home page : 1- I can translate from translation editor : hidden link 2- Here is the result in French : hidden link If that's not the case for you, could you link me to where I could see the issue? a step-by-step guide is appreciated 🙂 You could also send me screenshots if that helps, Best,
