[Resolved] Drafts showing in Language Switcher

Problem:
Draft pages are appearing in the Language Switcher, causing 404 errors in SEO reports.
Solution:
If you're experiencing draft pages showing up in the Language Switcher, we recommend the following steps:
1. Increase the WP memory limit to at least 128MB, as this is the minimum requirement for WPML. You can do this by adding the following code to your

wp-config.php

file:

/* WP Memory Limit */
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

Place it just before:

/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

If your hosting provider has set limits on these values, please contact them to make the necessary changes.

2. Update WPML and its add-ons to the latest version. First, create a full website backup, then navigate to Plugins > Add new > Commercial, check for updates, and update any outdated components.

3. Clear all caching, including local and server/CDN caching, especially if you have a caching plugin active.

After completing these steps, check if the issue with draft pages appearing in the Language Switcher persists.
