Background of the issue:
I am trying to edit the French version of my site hidden link using the classic editor in WPML. I changed a setting that altered the editing interface from a pencil icon to a gear icon, and I want to revert it back to the pencil icon.
Symptoms:
The editing interface shows a gear icon instead of a pencil icon, requiring a new style screen for editing.
Questions:
How can I change the setting back to use the pencil icon for editing in WPML?
What setting did I change that caused the gear icon to appear instead of the pencil icon?
So, to be clear.... i don't want to have to reach 100% to make the pencil appear in all posts ( and get rid of the gear ALL TOGETHER) as i had it that way.
The "Pencil" will only appear if the translation status is completed to 100%.
When translating a page or post for the first time, the status needs to be completed to 100% for the translated post or page to be available in second languages.
There is not way to avoid this, as this is how WPML works. You need to complete the translations manually inside the WPML Translation Editor or use automatic translation.
You can even use the "Translate Everything Automatically" mode which runs all the translations automatically in the background. Take note, that this requieres additional payments for translation credits.
