Premmerce Permalink Manager allows you to set a non-standard product permalinks.
- Normal WooCommerce permalinks look like: /product/sample-product/
- The ones that Premmerce Permalink Manager set allow you to remove the product base: /sample-product/
However, this causes issues in the secondary language as WooCommerce Multilingual still uses either a translated product base or original product base in the URL.
Problem:
The client was unable to update/install the WPML plugins.
Solution:
The plugin folder with the same name already exists in the plugin's directory that’s why it’s not being installed. So, I have followed the below steps:
- Installed the File Manager plugin.
- Went to the plugin's directory and deleted the broken sitepress-multilingual-cms plugin directory.
- Went to Plugins >> Add New > Commercial tab and installed the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin.
When logged off Greek flag is not showing for the above pages. When logged in, the Greek flag shows at the header on those two pages.
Also, the parent page's grid view does not show those two Greek pages. The same applies either logged in or off.
Solution:
I checked the two mentioned pages; they were drafts, so I published them.
Please note that when using the "Yoast Duplicate Page" plugin, the cloned pages will be drafts in both languages, and you need to publish them separately.
Dashboard/Appearance/Menus - in some strange way, all the menu settings got lost, and I had to set everything up again.
Also, all the menus were duplicated in the English version only ( see attached image "Dashboard/Appearance/Menus") - After I deleted and updated the settings, I no longer observed duplicates.
Solution:
The SG Optimizer plugin caused the issue, so deactivating it fixed the issue.

After activating WPML and setting the default language to Italian and the second language to English, 3 pages are missing.
Solution:
WPML was probably set and configured on this site in the past. Since no translations were done, reset WPML in WPML -> Troubleshooting was possible. This solved the issue.
