Translated content URL's are not displayed within the sitemap

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Sitemap URLs do not show for translated ones

Solution:

It was a custom code issue. In general to troubleshoot such issues try the conflict test below:

- IMPORTANT STEP! Create a backup of your website. Or better approach will be to test this on a copy/staging version of the website to avoid any disruption of a live website.
- Switch to the default theme such as "TwentyTwenty" by going to "WordPress Dashboard > Appearance > themes".
- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > Plugins" and deactivate all plugins except Yoast seo, WPML and WPML add-ons.
- Check if you can still recreate the issue.
- If not, re-activate your plugins one by one and check the issue each time to find out the plugin that causes the problem.

Christopher Amirian WPML Supporter since 07/2020 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, We used the cloudways plugin to copy the website to Cloudways and the result was successful for the move. But unfortunatelythe front end does not work and the backend admin also does not accept the login information: hidden link I am not sure why this is happening. Then I tried to install the Duplicator Pro p[lugin and used that to create a Copy of the website and it failed (please check the screenshot) I wonder if there is a way that you could provide us with the copy of the website that works and we can install on the local system so we can report the issue to the second tier support. thanks,.

Christopher Amirian WPML Supporter since 07/2020 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Yerevan (GMT+04:00)	Hi there, I have an answer from the second tier: This is roots.io setup and took me time to setup with lot of adjustment. So the code is actually coming from \web\app\code and this is loaded from MU plugin 10000-dwd-toolkit all this code is custom. That's why the issue was still there in minimal. In web\app\code\src\post-types\events\class-events.php there is hook causing this issue add_filter( 'post_type_link', [ $this, 'change_permalink_old_events' ], 10, 3 ); If I comment out the issue is fixed. This is all we can do, I am not sure why this hook is added and what it is doing. They can check this code and fix this. As mentioned by the second-tier support this is all we can do as the issue is caused by a custom code. Thanks.
