Problem: You are using the WP Editor for the translations and want to have the images available in all languages. Solution: First, ensure you back up your entire website. Then, follow these steps: 1. Navigate to WPML → Settings. 2. Scroll down to Media Translation. 3. Disable the 'Automatically detect best options for translating image texts' option. 4. Expand the 'Setup manually' section. 5. Enable the option 'When uploading media to the Media library, make it available in all languages'. 6. In the same Media Translation section, initiate the process to create missing media entries for all languages by clicking 'Start'. This action will make the images selectable and visible in other admin languages.

Problem: The client has created a custom post type named 'Galleries' for their website to transition galleries from an old theme to a new one while maintaining permalinks and structure. However, the '+' icon that allows for translation in WPML is not appearing for this new custom post type, although it appears for 'Pages' and 'Posts'.
Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend that you make your post type translatable in WPML. You can do this by navigating to WPML -> Settings -> Post Type Translations. For detailed instructions, please visit Translating Custom Posts.

Problem: You are experiencing issues with WPML where it is creating duplicated taxonomy translations named 'Opcional' under 'Translation Priorities'. Despite deleting these duplicates, new ones continue to appear. Solution: We found that the original English terms were missing, which likely caused the duplication issue. We have cleaned this up and recreated the terms. This should resolve the problem, and you should no longer see new duplicated 'Opcional' taxonomies being created.

Problem: You are unable to connect a translated English post with the original Spanish post. Solution: We found that a translation job got stuck when the translation method was switched to "WordPress Editor". We recommend opening the translation inside the WordPress Editor. In the right sidebar, use the option "Copy from English", manually translate the title and content, and save the post. This should allow you to create the translation using the WordPress Editor.

Problem: The client was transitioning from the FloThemes WordPress theme to Kadence Pro and encountered issues with the language switcher. Although the language flags were visible in the footer and were supposed to link to the corresponding language version of the page, they were instead redirecting randomly to the homepage or unrelated pages. Additionally, the language switch link was not appearing in the menu despite being enabled in WPML settings. Solution: We identified that the header needed translation and the language switcher had to be added to the header instead of the menu due to the way Kadence operates. We added the language switcher to the header for the client. We also provided a link for the client to edit the header in Spanish: https://grisaceos.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=22494&action=edit&lang=es&admin_bar=1. We advised the client to review the changes and translate the other header if it will be used on the site.
