mariannaF-4	I am trying to: translated the links that are in this page: hidden link using the advanced translation editor but none of the links come up when i search "https". What's coming up are only the images. I already tried refreshing the cache and resaving the page.

I visited your page and I think that you're talking about the links inside those accordions (Catalog, PDF) right? Can you tell me more about those links: - How do you create them? Do you use a page builder module or widget? It could be that this module needs to be registered for translation. Ref: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/maintaining-wpbakery-page-builder-compatibility-with-wpml/ - Do you use full path urls (https:domain.com/pdf) or relative path (/pdf)? - Can you try the "Scan now and adjust links" option in "WPML > Settings > Translate Link Targets"

mariannaF-4	Yes - I use a page builder WPBakery and those links are behind a button.

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hi, Did you try the solutions I provided earlier? It could be that the button module from Bakery is not registered yet to translation. You can follow the documentation I provided or if you prefer, you can grant me an admin access to your site - preferably to a staging copy where the issue has been replicated – so I can have a look myself. I will activate a private field for your next answer where you can provide that information safely (this field is only visible by you and the support team). Don't share your own admin account, create a new one that you will delete when we finish troubleshooting. IMPORTANT: Before we proceed, please backup your site and database.

Nicolas V. Supporter Languages: English (English ) French (Français ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Thanks for the access. Following the documentation provided I registered the module "us_btn" as a shortcode. This shortcode looks like this: [us_btn label="Online Catalog" link="url:link here\|target:_blank" icon="far\|list"] - I went to "WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration" and added the following: <wpml-config> <shortcodes> <shortcode> <tag>us_btn</tag> <attributes> <attribute>label</attribute> <attribute encoding="vc_link" type="link">link</attribute> <attribute>label</attribute> </attributes> </shortcode> </shortcodes> </wpml-config> - I went back to the original page and made a small edit (added a space in the title) and re-saved it. - I then entered the Spanish translation and was able to find all links to documents by searching for ".pdf"
