desireeM	Background of the issue: The wpml-config.xml WPML downloads from hidden link differs from the wpml-config.xml bundled with sitepress-multilingual-cms (in the latest 4.7.4 at least, however the file didn't change frmo the previous version) Is this a bug? What version is the correct one now? Always the one from the CDN URL? Symptoms: The wpml-config.xml file from the CDN URL differs from the one bundled with the plugin. Questions: Is this a bug? What version is the correct one now? Is the correct version always the one from the CDN URL?

In case you run into any issues with translating Gutenberg Blocks like Paragraphs, Images, Galleries, or Media Text, please let us know but as far I can see those configs look just right. About the CDN: It does not look as if this URL is the latest version of the config file. If you can confirm that you run into issues with the above-mentioned Block translations I can offer to investigate further. Best regards Andreas

desireeM	It seems that WPML downloads the file/data from the CDN and uses that config instead of the one that comes with the plugin though? (see the "override_local": true, it has)
