Ahmed Mohammed Supporter Timezone: Africa/Cairo (GMT+03:00)	Hi there, Thank you for contacting WPML support. While you are waiting for one of my colleagues to take this ticket and work on it, let me provide you with the first debugging steps or if I can help with the issue quickly. Theme options will not be saved according to the language you select via the language switcher in the admin bar. In case the header template is translated, the theme should automatically load the translated header. If this does not happen or if you require different headers for different languages, you can translate the ID of the header, as explained in Step #3 of this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#strings-arent-selected-for-translation. Please give that a try and let us know how it goes.

piernunzioP	That I understood but you see, for example logo is seprated from header then how can I put home page link in single header?? suppose there are 3 types of language. English, Italian and Danish in these 3 languages have different language code like xyz.com/en xyz.com/it xyz.com/de how can I give link in single header logo? currently I have created different headers like this and assign pagewise, hidden link is it correct??

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, I would like to request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to your site to take a better look at the issue. It would be better to a testing site where the issue is replicated. Your next reply is set to private to share the info. ❌ IMPORTANT: Please backup your database and website before proceeding ❌ You can use this plugin to create the backup: https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/ ✙ I would need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme and to change configurations on the site if needed. This is also a reason the backup is critical. While checking the debug info, I see that the WordPress Memory Limit is below the requirements. The minimum requirements are 128M, but we do recommend 256M and the debug information of your site shows it set to 40M. Please check this link for more details https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/. You can increase it by adding the following code in your wp-config.php file, right before the /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */ line:  define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' ); After adding the code you can confirm that the memory was changed correctly from WPML > Support > WordPress > Memory limit. Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, You are using the internal URL in the image widget, it is adjusted by WPML automatically for translation URL. You can add an external URL like https://wpml.org/ then search for the URL in Advanced Translation Editor to translate it. Please read more in the documentation https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/ Or you can go to WPML > String Translation > Find the URL and translate it on your site, please see this screenshot hidden link Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, If you edit a page and select the setting "Main Header Layout": "Inherit". That means you use the header in the theme options. To translate the header in the theme options, please go to WPML > String Translation > Translate the option name "[pxl_theme_options]header_layout" with the ID of the header in the English language as my colleague suggested above. Please check this screenshot hidden link And read more in the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#strings-arent-selected-for-translation Now you can see the location and logo URL display correctly in English language, screenshot hidden link Look forward to your reply. Thanks

Long Nguyen WPML Supporter since 02/2022 Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh (GMT+07:00)	Hi, Please go to WPML > String Translation > Scroll to the bottom and click on "Translate texts in admin screens" > Search for the relevant keywords, such as "pxl_theme_options" and add theme options to String Translation. It is already mentioned in the documentation https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#strings-arent-selected-for-translation The theme "Powerlegal" is not available in our list of compatible themes, which you can check here https://wpml.org/theme/. I suggest you contact the theme author and ask them to join our Go Global program where our Compatibility developers will help them to make their product compatible with WPML. https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/ Look forward to your reply. Thanks
