Background of the issue:
I am trying to use FSE, Custom Post Types, and WPML. When WPML generates the Custom Posts, it applies the default template instead of the template assigned to the Custom Post. The issue can be seen at hidden link.

Symptoms:
For the original language (English), I get the correct template. For all other languages, I get the default Page/Post template.

Questions:
Why does WPML apply the default template to translations instead of the custom post type template?
How can I ensure that the same template is used for all translations?

Thanks for contacting us.

I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.
