This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where your homepage design breaks or changes unexpectedly after activating WPML, and it seems to be a conflict with the Fancy Product Designer plugin or your custom theme, resulting in missing styles, misaligned elements, and a design that doesn’t match the original version.
Solution:
We recommend checking if the homepage status is stuck in draft. You can do this by editing the homepage using Elementor. Simply open the page in Elementor, and click "Publish" without making any changes. This action might resolve the display issues.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to resolve an issue where my homepage design breaks or changes unexpectedly after activating WPML. This issue seems to be a conflict between WPML and either the Fancy Product Designer plugin or my custom theme. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link.

Symptoms:
After activating WPML, the homepage displays a broken or incorrect layout. Some styles are missing, elements are misaligned, and the design doesn’t match the original version that appears when WPML is deactivated.

Questions:
Could you please take a look and help me resolve this?

Could you please check again to help resolve the conflict with the TemplateMela Core 3.4.7 plugin? We still need this plugin active for our theme to function properly.

Thank you for your support!

It looks like the issue is that the homepage status was somehow stuck in draft. I edited the homepage using Elementor and clicked "Publish" without making any changes and now it displays correctly for me.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance and I will be happy to help.

Nope It looks missing the header, also the Shop By Collection section. In the morning, I removed the "Shop By Collection" section from the homepage, the design returned to normal. It seems this section might be causing the issue. Could you help me resolve it? Here are the URLs for comparison — one without the "Shop By Collection" section and one you already removed the Shop By Collection and the header:

The header is missing. Also, all the 'Shop By Collection' items are marked as top-rated. When I add the product used in the FDP as top-rated too, the issue reappears.
