[Closed] Tanslation Editor and Content disappearing

Hello,

Thank you for getting in touch. You mentioned that clicking on the "blue pen" icon on the English language page doesn't bring up the translation editor. Could you please let me know what happens instead? Are you directed to the WPML > Translations dashboard?

Regarding the missing translation, could you provide further details?

Also, I checked your debug information, I noticed that your MySQL version is below the plugin minimum requirements as described at: https://wpml.org/home/minimum-requirements/ . Kindly contact your hosting provider and ask them to update the MySQL version to 5.6+ for you.

Thanks for your reply.

Did you enable the "Manual Translation" as explained here? https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/#how-to-use-manual-translation . Try switching back to WPML Translation Editor and click on the "blue pen" again.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for your reply.

This happens because the German Language is now the primary language of this page. We need to change it back to English as the primary language.

To do that, please follow the instructions below.

1. Disconnect the page from the translated page https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-disconnect-translations-from-the-default-language-page-or-post/

2. Then, link the pages https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-link-already-translated-pages/ and set the English Language as the primary language.

Thanks for your reply.

No, unfortunately. Since the primary and secondary translated page still works well, there will be no indication of this. You'll have to check each page manually.

Thanks for your reply.

Sorry, I'm not so sure what you mean by "If i switch back to the WPML Editor i can't link my site.".

I need to check on this and 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.
