Dear Mr. Long Nguyen,

Could you make from [REGULAR BUTTON LINKS] a SPLIT TICKET

I hope, [probably most and last BIG problem = Navigation Button Link “often do not work yet,” I hope. Rest will be minor or more fun😊

Enclosed is a comprehensive list of All regular buttons [which Navigate the User from Page to page]. I split the list into:

= first menu
= second menu
= sometimes [you might see step 1 + step 2 [+ step 3 with Links] for some Button Links | Navigation = Red Marked are not Working = RED
= Sometimes [I made a comment which might help to find out why [it is often irregular and not consequent why link work | do not work, it seems]

I made 3 different TAB files in the enclosed link from Dropbox, which direct to the EXCELL FILL WITH THESE TAB. The Dropbox Link =

hidden link

The results of the AUTOMATIC WPML Translation:

= are quite different
= might be that older pages, react differently than new pages

Regards and sincerely,
TT

Hi,

Checking some menu items on my side, I do not see the issue as you note in the excel file. For example: in the second tab hidden link
I see you note the issue with the menu link hidden link

But here is what I see on my side hidden link

translated URL hidden link

Please try to clear all caches (browser, plugin ...) and recheck those menu items. If it occurs on your side, please share some screenshots about that.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Dear Mr Long Nguyen,

I emptied all caches, used CSS and more, and all browser caches on my site:

Of the complete list with TAB [Button Problems}, this example [strange as 5 of 6 on this page work = list is extensive, that besides].

Links from Button on Page [on my site]: link to Default UK

hidden link
hidden link
hidden link

Link to Default UK:

hidden link

instead of

hidden link
hidden link
hidden link

To make sure [not the menu navigation = that is fine], it is the button [Indigenous Tours] on this UK Default Page [hidden link;

Regards,
TT

= lots of problems with Buttons, that is the reason I prepared a complete list
= problems may vary [item which work or NOT work, shown in excel file [3 TABS]
= I am not sure, if the problems [are always the same]

Dear Mr Long Nguyen,

Perhaps there is a misunderstanding about the [Split: Question Regular Button= all over the Website].

For the regular Button list, you showed 1 example [the one with three tabs] is NOT about Menu Navigation [which is perfectly fine].

It is about the "Button Links," which Link from Page to Page [the reason I split all possibilities], that problems might be different, and to get a complete overview, and more persistent [=mean more problems with button links = meaning of constant | persistent].

On, for example, new pages [like Volunteers], then older pages [like most tours and lodges [it is all about the Button Link] = all over the website.

Regards,
TT

Hi,

On the Tours page, I see there is only one issue with the button URL "hidden link"
in the section "Indigenous People of Costa Rica Tours". Please check this screenshot hidden link

It occurs because it is redirected to the URL "hidden link". You can re-visit the URL to check the redirection.

I remember a URL in the home slider has the same issue (https://wpml.org/forums/topic/the-button-links-in-the-homepage-slider-are-not-linked-to-translation-page/#post-14355599)
and you have 2 solutions to fix this issue:
- Translate the URL manually in the Advanced Translation Editor.
- Or update the URL on the Tours page with the new one (redirection) and let WPML adjust it automatically.

You can check the list of redirection URLs in the admin area > Rank Math SEO > Redirections. I believe you will have translation issues with those URLs.

Look forward to your reply.
Thanks

Dear Mr. Long Nguyen,

a] "Indigenous People of Costa Rica Tours"

I adjusted the links with the ATE [NL | ES | DE]

And that works. In the same TAB, number 10, I prefer NOT to solve this way, as [your second = - Or update the URL on the Tours page with the new one (redirection) and let WPML adjust it automatically]

Your second solution makes the most sense [otherwise 1. more work 2. I forgot which I translated], and is more reliable.

There is only [# 10 in the Tours Tab [which still needs to be solved]. I would like to change the proper WPML way ((I also changed with the example Indigenous), the Button-Link on the Tour Overview Page
hidden link = so WPML can do the work

My question is [first I do not like = impossible to remember this in the long term]
How does it work with the second option [let WPML do the work], which steps [now I changed the Button in the UK Default page [[but I did both solutions.

Could you have a check at #10, and teach me how to do that? [#10 = Catato Familty = Second Tab, marked = RED]

Dutch Link is set manually with ATE !!
German and Spanish Link not = ATE Solution is dangerous I think, as a “human” memory, at least mine has its limits😊

The reason I ask is that I am afraid [with Manual Adaption or URL in ATE], this will cause problems in the future [updates, double work, and I forget with so many Button Links = so I like the proper, structural method].

But I have not succeeded in that one.

b]
In the 3rd TAB, compared to last week, it seems [nothing changed by me, since that list = although not all buttons = see Voluntary work = consequent.

In red text [without the dark green marker], links still are not automatically adapted.

There should be a reason, but I cannot find it:
These are the Button Links at the Bottom [of the UK default page:

hidden link
button link to hidden link

Of course, I talk about the WMPL [NL | DE |ES] pages.

TT

Dear Mr. Long Nguyen,

I have a [SPLIT Question = Translating Team Page]

UK DEFAULT
hidden link

Translations:

NL [Dutch]
hidden link
DE [German]
hidden link
ES [Spanish]
hidden link

I have 2 questions:

1.
I made [put a new Team page online, and deleted the old one]. I put the new page in the Menu [same name TEAM], I “Synced Menu in WPML”, and “Update Translate Links”.

= the [-2] part of nl/team-2/ and | /de/mannschaft-2/ | /es/equipo-2/
= will that disappear and go automatic back to: /nl/team/ | /de/mannschaft/ | and /es/equipo/
= How can I get rid of the -2 part in WPML translation = the natural way [Let WPML do the work], ...?

2.
This might be difficult to see [I enclosed 3 screenshots of the UK Default and Translated Slider]

Some part of the Slider [extension part !! = see UK default Page], at the NL | DE |ES pages].

= extension part = SHOW MORE, and then click on it, The text extends in the UK Default page;

I can not figure out why and how to deal with this], …?

TT

Dear Mr. Long Nguyen,

[NEW SPLIT TICKET = FOOTER = BUTTON LINK = PARTLY SHOWS UP = ON 1 PAGE I THINK]

I have a couple of small questions about the Footer. I “translated” the “Footer” with WPML Management” | Automatic | Select “Footer”:

A]
Button Link in the Footer, pointing to the Contact Page [See Screenshots]

Not sure how to use the “trick you provided before, with a small Edit”, how to apply that?
, and if that is the solution, the “Button Link, located in the Footer Template, directs to:

= UK Default Language

[hidden link;

= “Instead of WPML Translated Contac Pages” [NL | DE | ES]

hidden link
hidden link
hidden link

Or should this approached another way?

B]

Screenshot [Missing Footer]

It does not happen often, This page has no Footer Menu [or at least “a white [instead of green] faced Footer Menu], instead of the other Translated Pages [see enclosed a Screenshot [with a good Footer, and this one [last week I had more, but some reason these are okay now] = all in 2nd Menu [other Footers “Looks were Fine” in First Menu].

Link= + [see Screenshots]
hidden link

TT

Hi,

Normally, WPML attempts to adjust the internal URLs on the translation page with the corresponding translation URLs. But in some cases, it does not work then you need to check the URL and its translation or translate it in the Advanced Translation Editor (like on the product page).

Now, in the excel file, I see the URLs on the second tab and third tab are translated correctly. Here is a screenshot hidden link

I will split your new issues on other pages into new tickets for better handling. But can you please not add new issues to one ticket? You can create new tickets as you want, please don't add them here to get a clean ticket and easy to focus.

Thanks.

Dear Mr. Long Nguyen,

The button link [I hope], is with your support, solved. This [split button links = all over site], can be closed.

Many thanks,
