Problem: The client is experiencing a significant delay when switching languages on their website, taking about 10 seconds. The issue seems to be inconsistent, as sometimes the language switcher works correctly. A potential cause identified is a Cloudflare firewall rule that blocks access to pages containing 'wp-admin' from non-Italian IPs. Solution: 1. We recommended the client to test the language switching functionality while being logged out to see if the issue persists. 2. We suggested deactivating the firewall temporarily to check if it resolves the issue. 3. We advised ensuring that the Ajax cookie is active in WPML -> Languages settings.

Problem: The client is using ACF multilingual with WPML, and they encountered an issue where an image URL in a product category displays correctly in English, but when switching languages, the array containing the image URL becomes just a category ID in the translations. Solution: We recommended verifying the method used to call the field, suggesting the use of the approach detailed in the ACF documentation on image fields: https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/image/#customized-display-array. Additionally, we provided a test site for the client to replicate the issue and further investigate the behavior of the image fields in a controlled environment. If the problem persists, we advised the client to adjust their code to check if the image field returns an ID and, if so, convert it to a URL using
wp_get_attachment_url
.

Problem: The client assigned credits to their site but cannot use them in the WPML backend. Solution: If you're experiencing issues with using assigned credits on your WPML site, we recommend you unregister and then re-register your WPML. Here are the steps to follow: 1. Log in to your WPML.org account and navigate to the Sites page. 2. Delete the existing site key. 3. Log in to your site, go to the Dashboard >> Plugins >> Add New > Commercial tab and click the Unregister WPML from this site link if it exists. 4. Click the Register WPML link. 5. Click the Get a key for this site link. This will generate a new key for your site, and you can assign the credits using that popup. 6. Copy the new key, paste it back into the input box, and press the Register button.

Problem: The client wants to set the custom field _bubble_new to COPY in all languages for the NEW Bubble created by the FLATSOME theme, but cannot find the slug _bubble_new in the Custom fields in WPML settings. Solution: We tested and found that the issue might be due to the way Flatsome handles these fields. The field _bubble_new is managed within the "wc_productdata_options" field, which is set to "Translate" by default. This setting should ensure that the value is copied correctly across translations without needing to manually set it to COPY. We recommend checking this behavior in your environment to confirm.
