Change translation mode for existing page

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

Problem:
The client needed to disable automatic translation for a specific page because it was preventing visibility of custom translatable fields in the Advanced Editor.
Solution:
We recommended setting the field

mfn-page-items

to Translate and then re-translating the page. We provided a step-by-step guide through our documentation:

https://wpml.org/errata/betheme-bebuilder-content-not-available-in-translation-editor/

If the provided solution is irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket with us.

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	I'm afraid that there isn't an option to reset the custom field preference. You can edit the file wpml-config.xml in the theme folder and get the reference of the default custom field preference of the theme. Also, please follow the documentation to translate the page content https://wpml.org/errata/betheme-bebuilder-content-not-available-in-translation-editor/ Thanks.

dariod-33	OK; this is quite interesting. Here is the wpml-config.xml. I marked by an "x" after </custom-field> all the fields that are set in the config file but DO NOT APPEAR in WPML panel. As you can see, there are a lot of them. On the other hand, there are fields in the WPML panel that do not exist in the config file. SO, THERE IS A DISALIGNMENT! They are: menu-item-mfn-bg mfn-builder-preview mfn-builder-preview-local-style mfn-builder-revision-autosave mfn-builder-revision-update mfn-page-items-seo mfn-page-object mfn-post-full-width mfn-post-logo-img mfn-post-responsive-logo-img mfn-post-responsive-retina-logo-img mfn-post-retina-logo-img mfn-post-sticky-logo-img mfn-post-sticky-retina-logo-img mfn-template-sidemenu

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, It is normal behavior. WPML will recognize the field in WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation if the field has a value in the database. Some fields in the config file .xml do not have a value so it they won't be available there. Let me know if you have any questions.
March 7, 2024 at 9:03 am #15382813
dariod-33	OK, but what's about the fields that are dinamically created in DOM by JavaScript? And why there are wfm_* fields in your panel that ARE NOT in wpml_config.xml of BeTheme? That's strange.

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, what's about the fields that are dynamically created in DOM by JavaScript? As I mentioned above, only the field that has the value in the database will be recognized and displayed in WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation. why there are wfm_ fields in your panel that ARE NOT in wpml_config.xml of BeTheme?* Because the theme author doesn't add the field configuration to the file as the default. They can add anything on their end. The same for other themes and plugins. Thanks.
