On some Pages on my Website the language switcher Button is missing. For example on my Archive Pages on this one: hidden link. In the Elementor page builder it is shown but not in the frontend. I also tried to add a switcher with the wpml shortcode and it still does not show it.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the support.

Can you try and check the followings?

1) Go to WordPress Settings -> Permalinks and just resave the permalinks, then check if it works.

2) Check if your post type is set to translatable? See the solution (big yellow box) on this thread https://wpml.org/forums/topic/translating-custom-post-type-archive/.

3) If none of these works, try the followings:

IMPORTANT: Take full backup of your website and database beforehand. It is highly advised to try the following on a staging/dev site first, so your live website isn't compromised.

- Deactivate all plugins except WPML and its addons and check for the issue.
- Activate each plugin one-by-one, while keeping check on the issue after a plugin is activated. This way you'll be able to pinpoint a plugin having a conflict (or problem), if any.
- If the problem persists, repeat the above steps with a default theme of WordPress (i.e. 2023).
- Also check the browser's console for any JavaScript errors. If you find any, copy that in your next reply. See https://wordpress.org/support/article/using-your-browser-to-diagnose-javascript-errors/ for details on how to find these errors.

Please let me know if this helps resolve the issue. Or I'll try my best to further assist you on the matter.

Regards.
