Overview of the issue
When editing Custom Post Types using slugs with non-Latin characters, you will encounter the error:
“You attempted to edit an item that doesn’t exist. Perhaps it was deleted?”
This issue was introduced in WordPress 6.7 and it is not related to WPML. You will experience the same situation without WPML and using a non-Latin character slug for your Custom Post Type.
Workaround
This bug has been reported to WordPress Trac:
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/62776
In the meantime:
- You can use a Latin Characters Slug in WPML → Settings → Post Types Translation.
- Switch to Classic Editor. Install and activate the Classic Editor plugin to bypass the issue in Gutenberg.
