Hi Arno,
Sorry for the late reply due to the weekend.

Take your time, I will be waiting for your updates.

I'm also checking with our devs again about how to get a list of those pages and will update you once I get their reply.

Regards,
Mohamed

Hi Arno,
Thanks for your patience!

Could you please try the following steps?

1. Open your database using phpMyAdmin(or another database manager)
2. Go to the SQL tab and run the following query:

SELECT DISTINCT post_id FROM `wp_postmeta` WHERE (`meta_key` = '_wpml_media_duplicate' AND `meta_value` = '0') OR (`meta_key` = '_wpml_media_featured' AND `meta_value` = '0');

This will give you the list of post IDs where any of the two settings for the post are unchecked.

Regards,
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed,

Thank you, that query helps to find all posts. I modified it in order to only find the right post types and the posts in the default language, and to display post names too so I can easily find them.

SELECT DISTINCT wp_postmeta.post_id, wp_posts.post_name, wp_posts.post_type FROM wp_postmeta
JOIN wp_posts
ON wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_posts.ID
JOIN wp_icl_translations
ON wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_icl_translations.element_id
WHERE ((wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_wpml_media_duplicate' AND wp_postmeta.meta_value = '0') OR (wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_wpml_media_featured' AND wp_postmeta.meta_value = '0'))
AND (wp_icl_translations.language_code = 'en')
AND (
   (wp_posts.post_type = 'page')
OR (wp_posts.post_type = 'vendor')
);

Kind regards,
Arno
