surajN	how do i add custom links and images on the translated site. I have done the translation. My login page english is hidden link, whereas for german is hidden link and spanish is hidden link. Id like to make sure the custom links are added to the translation along with native local images on those translated pages. Thanks Please note i dont want to translate the login page and register page. I just need to make sure the already translated page shows the links with the correct language extension. Currently hidden link shows login button which goes to my.studentai.app/login instead of my.studentai.app/de/login. SImilarly the images are also from english. How do i translate those.a

Mohamed Sayed	Hi there, Thanks for contacting WPML support. Please try the following steps to translate the button links: 1. Edit the translation of the page where the buttons are added (with the Advanced translation editor) 2. Use the search field to find the original button link 3. Translate it Please check this guide for more details: https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/ Regarding the image translation, please try this: 1. Install the WPML Media Translation addon 2. Go to WPML > Media Translation 3. Find the image and click the Edit icon for the translation 4. Click "Use a different file" and upload the new image Let me know please if that helps. Regards, Mohamed

Mohamed Sayed	I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin) to investigate the issue further. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated. Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it. ❌ Please backup your database and website first❌ If you don't see the form below, please don't add your credentials as they will be publicly exposed: hidden link Privacy and Security when Providing Debug Information for Support: https://wpml.org/purchase/support-policy/privacy-and-security-when-providing-debug-information-for-support/

Mohamed Sayed	The buttons are created with a custom theme widget, the button text is already registered for translations with a custom XML in WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration tab. But the URL field is not included, so I updated the code from: <widget name="copygen-themebtns-v1"> <fields> <field>button_text</field> </fields> </widget> To: <widget name="copygen-themebtns-v1"> <fields> <field>button_text</field> <field>button_link>url</field> </fields> </widget> Then updated the original header template "Header 3", now you can see the buttons URLs when searching for "https" in the translation editor. Please update/edit the header translations and search for the URL then translate them. Kindly check this guide for more info about how to register the custom Elementor widgets: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/language-configuration-files/how-to-register-page-builder-widgets-for-translation/ Kind regards, Mohamed
