I made 2 pages and linked them. One for serbian and one for english language. They are working okay until I click the flag to change the language. When I do that, design for the english language breaks and it doesn't look good. I tried everything without the success. Here is the link: hidden link |

Thank you for contacting WPML support. Do I understand correctly that you created them separately and then linked them? Can you share more details about how you created them? If you temporarily unlink them, is there still a design issue? https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-disconnect-translations-from-the-default-language-page-or-post/ |

First, I tried duplicate from WPML and it wasn't good. Then, I made new page, duplicated all content from serbian page and translated it by myself and it was good until I connected it to English translation. I tried now unlinking them and it doesn't look good. If needed, I can give you admin credentials so you can look on your own. |

Thank you for your feedback. I suspect that a custom field may have been copied from the original language when the pages were linked and updated. If that field was set to “Copy,” it could have been transferred to the translation and potentially affected the layout. I’ll need temporary access to your site (WP-Admin and FTP), preferably to a staging or test site where the issue can be reproduced. When you submit your next reply, you’ll see private fields below the comment area where you can safely share the credentials. The information entered there is visible only to you and me. |

Thank you for providing the information. Are you using any custom CSS on the pages? I want to ask you about the possibility of replicating your site locally. I'll need to install a "Duplicator" temporarily or "All In One Migration" plugin on your site. This will allow me to create a copy of your site and your content. Let me know how you feel about this. |

Yes I am, you can see it in the Custom CSS in Customize. No problem at all, you can install any of those |

Thank you. I have investigated this further. It turned out that some HTML markup was translated in WPML → String Translation and was breaking your page's layout. I have removed those strings from the String Translation, and it fixed the problem. I have attached the screenshots for your review. |
