Thanks for reaching us.

Does it happen to a specific page or just this one? Also, please share the URL of the page in question and I'll check the contents of the original language and secondary.

Thanks for your reply.

I will need to closely examine your website. Therefore, I will require temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to a test site where the problem has been replicated, if possible. This will enable me to provide better assistance and determine if any configurations need to be modified.

Please note that it is important to have a backup for security purposes and to prevent any potential data loss. You can use the UpdraftPlus plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) to fulfill your backup requirements.

Your upcoming reply will be treated with confidentiality and will only be visible to you and me.

✙ To resolve the issue, I may need your consent to deactivate and reactivate plugins and the theme, as well as make configuration changes on the site if necessary. This emphasizes the significance of having a backup.

Thanks for your reply.

I fixed the DE page here hidden link .

This is what I've done.

1. Edit the Primary language page hidden link

2. Use the language switcher on the top admin bar and switch to DE language.

3. Edit the page using UX Builder and click "Update"

4. Go back to the Primary language Dutch and re-translate it to DE.

5. Now the page is fixed.

Have you manually edited the DE page previously?
