This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where the homepage disappears after activating WPML, although other pages display normally. This problem is specifically occurring with custom Elementor elements on the homepage when the WPML String Translation plugin is active.
Solution:
1. Back up the site before making any changes.
2. Create a new test page in Elementor and set it temporarily as your homepage (go to Settings → Reading → Homepage and select your new page). Check if this new homepage appears correctly with WPML activated.
3. If the test homepage works, the problem likely lies with specific content or widgets on your original homepage. Begin copying your original homepage content, section by section, into the new test page. After adding each section, check if the homepage still displays. This will help identify if a particular widget or block is causing the issue.
4. If you discover a problematic section or widget, consider rebuilding that part using only standard Elementor elements, as custom or third-party widgets may cause compatibility issues with WPML.
5. Once you have a working homepage, set this new page as your official homepage under Settings → Reading.
6. Reactivate all other plugins one by one to confirm there’s no additional conflict.
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
