Jaume	Background of the issue: I'm uploading pages to my site using ChatGPT actions. I can attach the valid JSON file for these actions if you want me to. Symptoms: Pages (or Posts) are not listed to be edited in the Pages (or Posts) page in the WordPress Admin area but new rows are added to the posts table in the database. Questions: Why are the pages not visible in the WordPress Admin area? How can I make the pages appear in the WordPress Admin area after uploading them via REST API? Is there any list of full examples of dealing with content when WPML is applied to a site (maybe extra API calls needed?).

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, While with WPML all posts and pages remain on the default WordPress tables, WPML uses custom tables that connect those posts and pages between different languages. Currently, the only way to properly import such translations is by using PHP and WPML's Hooks: https://wpml.org/documentation/support/wpml-coding-api/wpml-hooks-reference/ We do sadly not yet support the REST API for creating translations. We only support some features for WooCommerce: https://wpml.org/documentation/related-projects/woocommerce-multilingual/using-wordpress-rest-api-woocommerce-multilingual/ Best regards Andreas

Jaume	You do not support it, so my issue is not resolved but "terminated" instead.
