This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
If you're experiencing an issue where WPML seems to be stripping the semicolon from the custom URL field link in your website, particularly noticeable when hovering over a CTA button where the URL changes unexpectedly.
Solution:
We recommend checking the setup in your page builder and content template. Specifically, you should:
1. Go to the Advanced Translation Editor for the affected page.
2. Search for the URL in the search bar at the top section and ensure the translated version is correct.
3. If the issue persists, the problem might not be directly related to WPML but rather to how the URL is being handled in your content template. For instance, if you are using Elementor with a Toolset custom field, ensure that the URL is not inserted as a raw shortcode. Instead, use Elementor’s dynamic link source to correctly reference the custom field.
4. Apply this change in both the original and translated templates to ensure consistency across languages.
If this solution does not resolve the issue or seems irrelevant due to updates or different configurations, 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. If problems persist, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
