Problem: The client was experiencing 404 errors on some translated pages, which seemed to be related to permalink settings or conflicts with other plugins.
Solution: 1. Flush Permalinks: We recommended the client to go to Settings → Permalinks in their WordPress dashboard and click the Save Changes button without making any changes to refresh the URL rewrite rules. 2. Update Affected Pages: We advised the client to make a minor edit and update the original page and its translations to help WPML regenerate translation links. 3. Check for Conflicting Plugins: We suggested reviewing and temporarily deactivating any plugins that might interfere with WPML, such as redirect or URL management plugins. After these steps, we recommended clearing any site and browser caches and retesting the translated pages in an incognito window.
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

3. Check for Conflicting Plugins: Certain plugins can interfere with WPML's URL handling. * Disable XML-RPC-API Plugin: If you have a plugin named

We emphasized avoiding generic troubleshooting and focusing on a personalized, step-by-step analysis with clear requests for additional details.

Problem: The client is experiencing 404 errors on some translated pages, even after resetting permalinks. Solution: If you're encountering 404 errors on your translated pages, we recommend the following steps: 1. Ensure that the WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency (WCML) plugin is active. 2. Check your WPML and WooCommerce settings for permalink and slug translations. 3. Review and correct the translated product slugs in WCML. 4. Reset your permalinks multiple times if necessary.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where the CSS breaks on translated pages of your website, it might be related to how global sections are rendered within your theme. Specifically, the Code Snippets plugin may not be loading your theme's CSS correctly for the second language. Solution: We recommend using a Child Theme instead of the Code Snippets plugin. You can add the following snippet to the functions.php file of your Child Theme to address some of the CSS issues:
add_action('init', function() {
// Hook location to output the global section
$location_hook = 'nectar_hook_global_section_footer';
add_action($location_hook, function() use ($location_hook) {
// Detect current language
$current_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_current_language', null );
// Default section ID (Spanish)
$global_section_id = '24759-2';
// Use translated section ID for English
if ( $current_lang === 'en' ) {
$global_section_id = '26378';
}
// Default category ID (Spanish)
$category_id = 47;
// Use translated category ID for English
if ( $current_lang === 'en' ) {
$category_id = 156;
}
// Output the section only if we're on the correct category archive
if ( is_product_category( $category_id ) ) {
Nectar_Global_Sections_Render::get_instance()->output_global_section($global_section_id, $location_hook);
}
});
});
However, if disabling the Code Snippets plugin resolves all issues, we suggest not using it and instead managing code through the Child Theme as shown above.
