pedroF-19	And one question: Can i edit the Portuguese or Englsih original pages with the Page Builder? I seen that if I do it in the translated portuguese page, it doesn't update the texts. I need to do it only in WPML translation editor only? What about the original language, can I change or edit with page builder?

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Kindly edit the Courses page from your dashboard-> Pages-> Courses page, then edit the Tour block and check the Spacing tab. (Kindly check the attached screenshot) Note: The translated courses page needs to be updated. Regards, Osama

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Regarding your question, you could edit the original language using the WordPress editor. Also, you could edit the translated page with the WordPress editor, but the recommended way to edit a translation is using WPML Translation Editor. Thanks, Osama

pedroF-19	both english and portuguese Courses page is 30px spacing. but ONLY in Portuguese the gap was happening I put it down to 10px to see if it updates, and the gap is now on the English version... Something really strange happening Another strange thing is when I click the icon to translate page "Inicio" (original Homepage) it gives me a completely different content to translate... When you mention "Note: The translated courses page needs to be updated.", how exactly i do this?

pedroF-19	sorry, I clear the cache, and the gap is actually on both versions

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, 1) I think the gap issue is related to your theme CSS, not the translation because it's happening in the two languages. There is a class with the minimum height. It might be the cause of the issue. (Kindly check the attached screenshot 1) 2) The home page translation seems to be in progress, not translated completely. (Kindly check the attached screenshot 2) Could you please send me a screenshot of the translation editor while translating the home page to see the issue? Thanks, Osama

pedroF-19	One more issue. on main page, the 4 blocks under the slideshow: (PRIVATE LESSONS CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS EVERTYHING INCLUDED WE TEACH ALL LEVELS) In portuguese the titles are in gray, not white as original. Why would this happen? When i try to fix it Editing Page Início on WordPress Editor, the changes don't reflect, even changing the text will not work. After saving it all goes back to before. I think there was another editor installed before, not sure if was Elementor. You think this could help? Do you recommend one compatible with WPML?

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, I was able to make the headings color white by adding the following code to your custom CSS. /headings/ .gdlr-core-column-service-title-wrap h3{ color: White !important; } Kindly check the translated home page and let me know if it works correctly. Thanks, Osama

pedroF-19	Titles are OK, thanks! Doesn't adding css code decrease speed of the site? There are 2 Homepages on WPML - Translations. check screenshot

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, 1) Adding this CSS won't affect your site's speed because it's a small snippet. 2) WPML Translation Manager displays 2 home pages because you have a trashed home page, so WPML sees the 2 pages, the real one and the trashed one, but this won't affect your site translated home page. Thanks, Osama

Osama Mersal WPML Supporter since 02/2020 Languages: English (English ) Arabic (العربية ) Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi, Thanks for the screenshots. Could you please try to use the classic translation editor and let me know if it shows the correct content? Kindly go to WPML-> Settings, select classic translation editor instead of advanced translation editor, then return to the home page, make a minor change, update it, and then try to translate it. If it didn't work correctly, you might need to edit the translated home page using your editor manually. Thanks for your cooperation Regards, Osama

pedroF-19	Some time ago, trying to fix this, there were 2 Homepages (I duplicated it and changed the "Frontpage attribute" to Homepage1 Not sure if it has something to do or it helps you guessing the problem. In last case I can always make the Homepage translation from scratch...

pedroF-19	So I tried, and can translate OK with classic editor Should I do this also: There is new translated content on this site. You can scan posts and strings to adjust links to point to translated content. Translate Link Targets

pedroF-19	"If it didn't work correctly, you might need to edit the translated home page using your editor manually." It doesn't work. Any changes I make with WordPress Editor don't take effect. After saving everything goes back to before (text, formating, etc)
