This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
In your blog using the Blocksy theme, you are facing an issue where translation labels for links to the profile and log-out are not updating after switching languages, despite being translated in WPML > String Translation.
Solution:
We recommend adding the following XML code to WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration to register the dropdown fields for translation:

If you are using a child theme, adjust the first key name to
<key name="theme_mods_blocksy-child"></key>
. You can find the correct option name from the table wp_options in the database. After adding the code, go to WPML > String Translation and translate the strings there. Check the translation strings in the frontend.
For more details, refer to the documentation on translating strings in the wp_options table.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.

Hi! Searching through the wp_options table to find appropriate option names is unnecessary. It is enough to use the Name column from WPML > String translation: a) [theme_mods_blocksy-child][header_placements][sections][0][items][10][values][dropdown_items][2]label b) [theme_mods_blocksy-child][header_placements][sections][0][items][10][values][dropdown_items][3]label Using strings from the Name column I have modified your code to: <wpml-config> The above XML code I have pasted into WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. And now it works! PS: (Especially since the solution I got from Blocksy stopped working....)  |
