I have a new post (CPT: Listing) with custom fields and trying to translate. All the custom fields are set to "Don't translate" or "Copy" in WPML. I checked https://wpml.org/forums/topic/almost-all-pages-posts-remain-stuck-in-translation-progress-and-never-finish/ and tried this: |

Hi, I would eventually also need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site Your next answer will be private which means only you and I have access to it. ❌ Please backup your database and website ❌ ✙ I would additionally need your permission to de-activate and re-activate Plugins and the Theme, and to change configurations on the site. This is also a reason the backup is really important. ✙ Please add the Links to the […] Edit Screen, the Page/Post where you insert the […] and the corresponding Front End Page/Screen Best Regards, |

Hi Danka, Thank you! It looks like there’s no general issue, since the other listings are working correctly. I’d recommend deleting the “Test Listing New…” entry, clearing your basket, and then adding a new test entry. Best regards, |

Marcel, thank you. We also saw that for "old" listings it works well, but not the new one. |

Hi Danka, I was able to reproduce the issue using a new listing, but I’ll need to test it in isolation to investigate further. Could you please provide FTP access? While troubleshooting, I had to deactivate the theme, which unfortunately triggered a fatal error. With FTP access, I’ll be able to restore and reactivate it safely. Best regards, |

Marcel, I have key information for you. Other listings work correctly, but only with the WordPress editor. Old listings were translated differently (and very time-consuming). Now want to speed up and make it easier and use the WPML Translation Editor for new listings (also fo existing ones) . For testing, you have another completely new listing: |

Hi Danka, thank you for the information. However, I still require FTP access to repair the staging site so I can continue testing this further. Best regards, |

Hi, The previously shared FTP credentials appear to be for the live environment. Could you please provide the credentials for the staging environment instead? Thank you! Best regards, |

Hi Marcel, I'm sure that FTP with user "wprentals" is for staging. |

Hi Danka, Thanks for your message. I had to deactivate the WP Rentals Core add-on in order to regain access to the backend. Based on the information provided about the editor, I’m not yet able to clearly identify the root of the issue. Could you please install WP Rentals in this hidden link isolated sandbox environment and check whether the same issue occurs when creating a listing? If the problem can be reproduced there, we can look into possible workarounds. Best regards, |
