Tell us what you are trying to do? The connect to translation was not showing, so I translate manually but I need to link: hidden link with hidden link It just redirect to our home page. How can we correct this? Both page are good and translated but not connecting.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
Possible Solutions:
1) Under WPML > Translation Management or WPML > Translations, do you see a dialog that indicates that WPML has been migrated?
The WPML translation editor cannot function until this dialog has been completed.
2) Please also check that all users who are allowed to use the translation editor have a valid first and last name in the WordPress profile.
3) If the problem still doesn't appear to be solved after this, you should try registering WPML on the website again.
You will need to remove the site URL from your WPML account and then re-enter it to get a new site key, which you can then use to re-register WPML in WordPress.
Hi, I have inserted 2 screenshots. You will see the English post translator page, it displays a French translation but if you look at the French post translator page page, only the top fields are filled and all the rest is empty?
We need to fill that twice manually 2 times?
What is the original language for us to create a post first and then be able to connect it to translation with no issues afterwards?
The issue with empty fields in both languages is not a WPML issue. It is a known WordPress issue and the WordPress Team created this plugin in order to solve this:
Further, when using the Classic Translation Editor you will miss some features that only come with our new Advanced Translation Editor (ATE).
The ATE works with translation memory, which means that equal string segments will be auto-completed and you will not need to fill them out twice.
Further, it comes with an automatic translation feature and a Glossary.
The downside is that the ATE does not output HTML, but there are ways to find and translate non-visual elements like links or image sources.

Another downside is, that if you already translated content with the Classic Translation Editor, then you might need to redo those translations when switching the WPML settings towards using ATE for older content.
1. I still need to know how to connect my 2 posts?
2. In the future, the post should be connected t translation from French to English or from English to French as I don't know what is the original language
Basically, which post do I delete (French or English) so when I will create it again, the button: connect to translation will be available and then, both wil be connected properly with the language switcher as usual.
Could it be that the original post has a translation in progress and this is why you can not connect anything?
Please check at WPML > Translation Management > Jobs. You can cancel ongoing translations by clicking on the red cross on the right side of each row (job).
If this will still not unlock the connection field, please allow me to have a closer look at the issue as an admin user.

I did your procedure and the connect to translation appeared on the English page (My back hurts- What should I do?) but it doesn't display the French translation (Mon dos me fait mal- Que dois-je faire?). How can we make the connect to translation appear on the French post? (As then, I will see the English translation available) This has to do with the primary language, meaning that I must create the French post first, then the English to connect.
If you look at attachment, I assume that filling the translation with the + sign will not help.
Instead I created the English post first, then the French and had this issue since then.
I would like to assist you with this task and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue.

This is odd, as I exactly connected those two posts yesterday and it was working.
I now connected them again by going to the English version of this post, clicking "Connect with translation" in the right sidebar, typing "Mon" and then selecting the French post, while deciding in the follow-up dialog that the FR version should be the original.
It is now again working:

I can currently use the language switcher to switch to:

My question is, what was done on the site in the meantime that could have caused the posts to suddenly no longer be connected?
Nothing was done on the site, I just emptied cache this morning, strange.
For the future, the procedure is to create the post first in French, then in English, so I can see the French post then in connect to translation, correct?
