[Resolved] Flags do not direct to translated pages
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where the translated versions of the website were not appearing, despite having translated the entire site. The French flag was not showing up in the widget, and clicking on the flags resulted in empty content on the website, with only the original language displayed.
Solution: 1. We conducted several rounds of testing and consulted with our team for an expert opinion. 2. We discovered a conflict in the template settings, where a template was assigned to secondary languages but set as a draft in the Portuguese language, while its translations were published in secondary languages. 3. We set the template's translation to *Draft* in secondary languages. 4. We updated the Page translations using the WPML Advanced Translation Editor, which resolved the issue.
If you're experiencing a similar issue, we recommend trying the steps mentioned above. However, please note that the solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket with us.

I had a few rounds of testing on your site and consulting with our team for an expert opinion. In a minimal setup, the English pages display the expected results for me after I resave the translation from the WPML Advanced Translation Editor. Please review the following links.

This bug has happened because of a conflict in the template settings. Somehow the following template is assigned to the secondary languages. It is set as a draft in Portuguese language. However, the translation of templates is published in secondary languages.

Setting that template's translation as *Draft* in secondary languages and updating the Page translations from WPML Advanced Translation Editor has resolved the issue.
Please check the attached image and the following pages for more details and let us know your feedback.
Thanks for all the hard work. I deleted all instances of the hidden link, in all languages. It was an old layout anyway.
What would you consider the best course of action now?
As soon as i try to translate anything the folloing error still applies.
In fact none of the jobs actually go forward.
So, What would be the issue this time?

Hi Bigul, Thanks for all your help. It still says that the job Sync failed. I added a translator for the pairs German/Portuguese and Portuguese/German. Selected ONLY the pages, and for some reason everything on the above mentioned pair was sent to the translator.
I mean, Posts, Pages, Templates, everything, when i selected just pages. See if you can replicate the issue.
Now I cannot even delete jobs on the Translator cue as the error: "This action does not apply to any of the selected translation jobs" Appears
And the error " The Advanced Editor jobs synchronization has failed" As soon as i click on the Translation management link.
There is definetly something not right in here.
Thanks in advance.

it did not syncronized the menus, It broke the header again, rolled back to an odd format on the footer (turning it white), And placed different menus on the English language page. The French front page is also out of format, again. Footer on this page completly off.
German front page, for some reason the menu now its sticky.....
I mean, for something that should be just "plug and play" this whole process is gettin annoying.
I'm trying to work on the website, trying to get things done, create content, and I'm faced with a never ending amount of bugs...
I gave you guys plenty of opprtunities to fix everything. Everytime i try to do something with WPML i find another bug....
I'm lost for words.
Need a bit of guidence here. Please, please, please, see whats wrong with your API and why the jobs don't Sync, why are erros on the jobs editor, Why I can´t delete jobs that i assign and keep on gettig errors...

Hi Bigul,
Just found another bug. Please see video attached. Althouh the default language of the website is in Portuguese none os WP menus and content appear on the assigned language.
Now its interfering with site optimization and the ELEMENTOR API, it seems.

.... And another one. I'm not able to change the language in Filebird.
All the images I had before where categorized. Now it does not even allow me to change the language to access to the content in filebird.
See Video attached. hidden link
