Bruno Kos WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) German (Deutsch ) French (Français ) Timezone: Europe/Zagreb (GMT+02:00)	It appears that the issue may be related to the custom post type (CPT) labels not being set correctly in the WordPress admin, which can affect how ACFML functions. Typically, WordPress requires certain fields to be completed before saving a CPT, which suggests that there might be a configuration or permissions issue. Can you please try the following: 1. Go to your WordPress admin panel at the URL: wp-admin/post.php?post=8705&action=edit&lang=en. 2. Check if the labels for the custom post type are properly set. This generally includes the singular and plural labels, as well as a description. 3. Ensure that the required fields for the custom post type are filled out. 4. After setting the labels, enable Advanced Custom Fields Multilingual (ACFML) if it's not already active. 5. Verify if the issue persists after making these changes.
