Translated pages look different, CSS is altered on English pages.

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Translated pages look different, CSS is altered on English pages.

Solution:
Remember to:

1) fix WP Memory Limit to at-least 128MB in your wp-config.php file by adding following code:

define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' );
define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' );

Add these lines before the line where it says:
/* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. */

2) clear all caches (server, plugins and browser) and/or try deactivating caches temporarily to check for such issues.

Sometimes these preliminary checks help resolving such issues.

arad	Tell us what you are trying to do? I created the site in Dutch and translated everything to English. Somehow, the English pages look and feel different. The CSS must be different since typefaces are wrong, and URL links are not shown the same. Is there any documentation that you are following? Is there a similar example that we can see? What is the link to your site? Correct page: hidden link Not correct page: hidden link Look at the text with links: In the Dutch page the are in color, in the English page they are only in color when mouse hover same for typeface: Correct page: hidden link Not correct page: hidden link See screenshots

Waqas Bin Hasan Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: Asia/Karachi (GMT+05:00)	Hi, Thank you for contacting the support. First of all, I'll advise to fix WP Memory Limit to improve the overall performance. You can set WP Memory Limit in your wp-config.php file by adding following code: define( 'WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M' ); define( 'WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M' ); Remember to add these lines before the line where it says: /* That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing. / Then I'll advise to check this guide https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/using-wpml-with-the-avada-theme/#setting-theme-options and see if it helps around theme options? On the other hand, this could be due to the way the page builder or the theme stores the styling for the content. Some store the styling in a custom field (the custom field usually contains the "style" or "css" or "layout" or "styling" wording) and that custom field might need to first be set to "copy" in order to have the styling being carried over to the translated page. After doing this, you should first make a small change to the default language, then save the page, then go to the translation of that page and re-save it - and the CSS should be copied over. I'll also recommend clearing all caches between the checks (as above mentioned), as well as, testing with a minimal setup with only most required plugins. Remember to take full backup of site and DB beforehand.* Please let me know and I'll try my best to help you further on the matter. Regards.

arad	Strangly, after some time the page looked ok again. So, Waqas, you where right about the cache.
