Overview of the issue

When you are attempting to translate a menu, and if your menu is using custom links as menu element, running WPML > WP Menu Sync can overwrite the translations with the wrong values in a setup where you use more than two languages.

Workaround

Before running WP Menu Sync, make sure you go to WPML > String Translation and there activate the option “Look for strings while pages are rendered”.
Then you can go to WPML > WP Menu Sync and work as normal with the menu synchronization wizard.

  1. No, my problem is different.
    I can’t create any new menu. When trying to add any existing page in the menu, it appears as “Custom Link” with blank text and link.
    Every menu item I add comes up wrong and I can’t add any, it comes up blank.
    The only menu items that remain are what I had before accidentally deleting the menu.

  2. Please, I need your help urgently.
    On Tuesday I have to go out with another web menu and I can’t.

    How can I give you access so you can see the problem or send you a video of the error?
    Thank you
