Background of the issue:
I am trying to manage my website hidden link using WPML. In the dashboard, I see 30 published pages, but only 28 pages are visible in all languages. I checked the sitemap at hidden link and found 3 pages listed, but only the first one is correct. The other two seem to be remnants of a cloned original page.

Symptoms:
Two published pages are not visible in the dashboard, and the sitemap shows incorrect pages.

Questions:
Why are two of my published pages not showing in the dashboard?
How can I correct the sitemap to reflect the correct pages?
