Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where a deleted product still appears on your English website and redirects to a Dutch product page, this might be due to the translation settings in WPML. Solution: First, ensure that you have permanently deleted the product from both the site and the 'Trash' to completely remove it. If the product still appears, it's likely because of the WPML translation settings for the 'Product' post type. You should navigate to WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation and change the translation preference for 'Product' to 'Translatable - only show translated items'. This setting ensures that only translated items are displayed in each language version of your site.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or if it seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
