Problem: You are experiencing an issue where variation swatches display as image/button swatches on the original language page, but show as dropdown selects on the translated version. Solution: We found that the translated terms don't have the text swatch enabled. To resolve this, please edit the translated terms and enable the text swatch. Afterward, update the product in the default language by making a minor edit and then update it. This should ensure consistency across both languages.

Problem: You are trying to translate a specific block from English to German on your site, but the section below the pictures remains in English and refers to English language pages. Additionally, the German version of the homepage differs significantly from the English version. Solution: We suspect that the emojis at the beginning of each heading might be causing the translation issues. We recommend removing the emojis from the headings and attempting the translation again. For example, we duplicated the page on your site as a new draft without the emojis, and the translations worked correctly. If removing emojis is not an option for you, please let us know so we can further investigate and possibly escalate the issue. Regarding the use of formal German, not all translation engines support it. If you are using DeepL, you can set up WPML to use formal German by navigating to WPML > Settings. Here is the documentation on how to change automatic translation engines: https://wpml.org/documentation/automatic-translation/how-to-change-automatic-translation-engines/

Problem: The client reported a critical error on their site, experiencing a PHP 8.3 infinite recursion issue leading to a 503 error. This was traced back to a potential bug in the WPML plugin with the newer WordPress version. Solution: 1. We asked the client to check if the issue persists after following the steps described on the erratum page for PHP 8.3.x errors, which can be found here: PHP 8.3.x Fatal Error. 2. We requested a detailed description of the issue, including steps to reproduce it and any error messages, to better understand the problem. 3. We asked for access credentials to the site to investigate the configuration and reproduce the issue. 4. We inquired if the client would prefer to continue troubleshooting the issue or remain on the older WordPress version (v6.8.9) that did not exhibit the problem.

Problem: After the last update, the website became very slow. Disabling the WPML plugins temporarily resolved the issue, but reactivating them triggered an error related to WP Endpoints and database entries.

We recommend trying the workaround provided in the following errata. Please ensure that WPML is enabled when applying this workaround. If this does not resolve the issue, or if you need assistance with the workaround, do not hesitate to contact us.
