I am trying to: Edit english page individually with Elementor as we need different prices and designadjustments for translated page.

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
hidden link
hidden link

When trying to edit the english page through the wordpress editor (by clicking pencil next to EN translation) or "edit with elementor" directly from the english version of the page Elementor will get stuck loading.
If I view the page logged in and click "edit with elementor" through the top banner I get redirected to english log-in page that will not let med login with my regular credentials:
hidden link

Would appreciate some help here. Our main goal is to edit prices (for this page it's not possible to edit price through translation manager) and design for a few pages. English is the first of 7 languages.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting WPML support team,

That behavior from Elementor is normal, because we do not recommend editing your content from your translations,

When you translate a page, WPML will create a link between each element of this page with its translation counterpart on the translated page.

Editing it directly from Elementor risks to break your page or worse, delete your content.

That's why, If you would like to create different designs for the same page in different languages, we recommend manual translations instead, please check this documentation for more information : https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/#when-to-use-manual-translation

I hope that answers your questions,

Best regards,

Thanks - we figured it out, it was caching issue.
