1. Please go to **WPML → WP Menus Sync** in your WordPress admin.
2. On this page, could you let me know what options or buttons you see? We want to confirm that there's no active synchronization overriding your manual menu assignments.
I am not seeing any buttons
only a list of menus and the items for each language
This is normally used when menus have custom links, hence the name. You can simply click to add a translation to a menu on the "+" sign, and that will create a fully independent menu for that language.
How can i unlink the locations. Every-time I store the menu with a location. The location has the same menu on all languages (but the translated version)
I need the for each language a different menu for a location.
In this case, it's best that you create menus individually, for each language. To do that, you can follow these steps:
1. Go to Appearance > Menus;
2. On the top bar, click the flag and switch to the language you want to create the menu into;
3. Create the menu and set its location;
WPML allows you to create content in any language you have on your website, by selecting the flag on the top. Let me know if that answers your question.
I've watched the video, yes. The thing is, that in the video you have the menus in the same location. In this case, they should be translations of one another.
Please set a menu as translation of others that have the same location. Let me know if that fixes it.
Thanks for clarifying. I understood initially, that you wanted the menus to be fully independent - with different locations betweeen them. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
In case you want menus in different languages, but with the same location: they need to be translations of one another. If the menu already exists, and needs to have the same location as another one, you can add it as a "Translation of". If you are adding a menu to a new language that must share the location of an existing one, you can click the "+" sign to add and it will have the same location.
If they must have different locations, you direclty create them in that location, in that language.
The important thing to understand here, is that menus that are translations of eno another, will always share the same location. Let me know if that answers your questions.
I want to directly check if everything is correctly set up on your website, if that's ok.
For this I would need temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site, preferably to a test/staging site where the problem has been replicated if possible.
The required fields can be found below the comments section. The information you enter is private, i.e. only you and I can see it and have access to it.
I may need to replicate your website locally. To do this, I need to temporarily install a plugin called "Duplicator" or "All in One WP Migration" on your website. This will allow me to create a copy of your website and content. Once the issue is resolved, I will delete the local website. Let me know if this works for you.
IMPORTANT
Please make a backup copy of the site files and database before giving us access.
- If you do not see the wp-admin/FTP fields, this means your post and site login details are being made PUBLIC. DO NOT post your website details if you do not see the required wp-admin/FTP fields. If you do not, ask me to enable the private box. The private box looks like this:
