Thank you for your patience.
I tried to reproduce the issue on my sandbox site (fresh installation), but can't reproduce it. And here it seems to work just fine:
- hidden link
- hidden link
I tried 2 different approaches for the link:
- Used full qualified link like hidden link
- and used a relative link /de/de-test-wpml/
and both seems to work fine.
Can you use this link to login to the sandbox site hidden link and try reproducing the issue please? So we can ensure if I haven't missed anything or is it only happening in your site.
Please let me know with exact steps if you're able to reproduce the issue.

Hi,
Your sanbox is working definitely because you do not use page builder. For our website, we have been using AVADA Page builder and in the page download we have a link with the shortcode of Avada fusion_button and atributte link. We do not translate this link while using your Advance translate. But I think, your plugin has translated automatically the url to the actually language. Therefore, our internal link were changed auto.
I tried to use custom config via xml file but not success.
could you have a look ?
here is our shortcode
[fusion_button target="_blank" color="default" linear_angle="180" stretch="default" icon_position="left" icon_divider="no" hover_transition="none" animation_direction="left" animation_speed="0.3" animation_delay="0" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" sticky_display="normal,sticky"
link="hidden link"
alignment="center" icon="fusion-prefix-icon-botissregularbotiss-arrowright"]deutschsprachige Downloads[/fusion_button]
Here is our tried config xml:
<wpml-config>
<shortcodes>
<shortcode>
<tag>fusion_button</tag>
<attributes>
<attribute>link</attribute>
<attribute type="link">link</attribute>
</attributes>
</shortcode>
</shortcodes>
</wpml-config>
- In the wpml / string translatinon I fould this button but I can not edit it.
- should we send you avada page builder for the testing ? and then you can see the problem.
Thanks

I tried a few more options in your staging site, without any luck.
I've downloaded Avada theme and builder from your site and 'll try in my sandbox site and 'll get back to you accordingly.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

I've tried in my sandbox with Avada theme and builder:
- hidden link -> button links to German translation of another page.
- hidden link -> button links to the German translation of this (own) page.
As you can see that I am able to link to other translated pages, even both of the above mentioned have been translated as well.
Can you please check in the sandbox site and try to reproduce the issue, like you've in your site?

Can you export the settings of WPML from the website staging.botiss.com to the sanbox website to test this bug for our company.
I search the option export import in the WPML Plugin but I dont find this.
I remmer that before we translated the page from English to German with Worpdress Editor. And then we expand more languages as ES, IT, FR.
I think that could be a conflict between your translator and wordpress editor.
I was in WPML / String translation and saw the shortcode that the shortcode was not translated in German Version. Pls see the screenshort

Sure, 'll try that. However, sandbox do not support importing.
However, is this OK, if I remove unnecessary plugins, themes and media from your staging site and export a site package (using Duplicator or All-in-one-migration plugins)? So I can then investigate it locally and can send to our 2nd tier for investigation.
I believe there's something wrong in the DB (perhaps configs or corrupted data), that's why it is only reproduced in your site.
Please let me know.

Thank you for confirming. I'll only copy staging site and nothing 'll be removed in staging as well.
I don't have access to the live site, so no worries 🙂
I'll update you on the progress accordingly.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
I removed unused plugins, themes and media (docs, videos, audios and unattached) from the staging site. Then tried to create a package but due to Kinsta restrictions, I can only use Duplicator. However, this ones also breaks due to server interruptions - thus not being able to create a backup.
Can you create a fresh backup of the staging site from your hosting panel? Please consider followings:
- There are thousands of images in Media which we don't use, try to delete theme from staging.
- Take a backup.
- Upload to somewhere safe and provide the link to download.
- I've enabled your next reply as private to provide the link and/or backup files safely.
Meanwhile I've escalated the issue to our 2nd tier team but since we're not able to reproduce the issue in the sandbox, it is much important to have a copy of your staging site.
Please let me know.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
Team suggested a workaround, which seems to work on your staging site, with some exception. Let me explain in detail:
- I switched to Avada parent theme because this doesn't work with the child theme:
- Added following code to theme's functions.php file:
function wpml_sl_blacklist_requests( $blacklist, $sitepress ) {
$blacklist[] = 'test-wpml-18-jan';
$blacklist[] = 'downloads';
return $blacklist;
}
- I had already created this page using Avada Builder: hidden link
So if you check, the button link refers to its German version hidden link.
While on Downloads page (hidden link) it doesn't work.
So here are the exceptions:
- Child theme contains several custom code which may be conflicting with this. So you should probably check that, because fixing custom code is out of scope of this forum.
- For the Downloads page, perhaps that page has some corrupted entries. I'll advise to delete the page (from Trash also) and recreate it.
The above mentioned solution is mentioned in this guide https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/sticky-links/#linking-to-pages-in-a-different-language. You don't need WPML Sticky Links to make it work.
