Problem: The client was experiencing issues with missing pages and altered layouts after setting up WPML on a site using Astra Theme and Elementor Pro. Despite updating plugins, the problem persisted. Solution: We resolved the issue by adding a specific function to the theme's functions.php file. Here is the code that was used:
function add_wpml_manage_translations_cap() {
$role = get_role('administrator');
if ($role) {
$role->add_cap('manage_translations');
}
}
add_action('init', 'add_wpml_manage_translations_cap');
After applying this code, we triggered it by visiting the frontend, and then removed the code. This allowed the client to access the translation management dashboard.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Additionally, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
