How can I trigger that updates in the main page show on the translated pages?

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

Problem:
You are experiencing issues where updates made to the main page are not reflected on the translated pages in WPML, despite using Elementor and the WordPress page editor.

Solution:
First, ensure you have backed up your website and database. It's advisable to perform these steps on a staging site first. Follow these steps:
1) Update WordPress to the latest version to ensure compatibility with the latest WPML plugins. Also, update any other plugins and themes as necessary.
2) Increase the WP Memory Limit in your wp-config.php file. Add the following lines before the 'That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing.' line:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

define('WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');

3) Regenerate CSS in Elementor by navigating to Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS. If this does not resolve the issue, proceed with the following steps:
4) Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation, click 'Show system fields', search for _elementor_css, and set it to 'Copy'.
5) Make a minor content change, save your changes, and update the translation.
If these steps do not resolve your issue, the solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We 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 open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

manuelB-44	Background of the issue: I am trying to ensure that updates made to the main page are reflected on the translated pages of my site hidden link. I am using WPML and have tried saving the page in Elementor and the WordPress page editor again as well as completing the translation (which in that case is complete already) again in the WPML Translation Editor, but these actions do not trigger updates in the translated pages. Symptoms: Updates to the main page, such as design changes, do not trigger updates on the translated pages unless new content elements are added. Questions: How can I trigger updates in the main page to show on the translated pages without adding new content elements?

Waqas Bin Hasan WPML Supporter since 05/2014 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Thank you for the updates. Based on your debug information, I'll recommend a few fixes and workarounds, please consider following: IMPORTANT: Please take full backup of your website and database beforehand. It is highly advised to try this on a staging/dev site first, so your live website isn't compromised. 1) Since you're using latest WPML plugins, please update WordPress to the latest version to get all the new features and fixes. Also remember to update other plugins and theme (if needed). 2) Fix “WP Memory Limit” to at least 128MB while 256MB is recommended. See https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ for detailed information. You can set this in your wp-config.php file by adding following code: define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' ); define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); Remember to add these lines before the line where it says: /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ Once that's done, then please try the following: - Please go to Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS and it should fix the design or style issues in the translations. If this doesn't work then continue with the following steps. - Go to WPML > Settings > Custom Fields Translation. - Click "Show system fields" - Then search for _elementor_css - and set it to "Copy" - Then make a small change in the content, like a word or dot - Save your changes - Update the translation Please let me know your findings and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter if issue continues to appear.
