I am duplicating some pages to Spanish and I expect to see those Spanish pages with the same hierarchy was the English pages (original ones). However, they don't hold any hierarchy. |

Hi, I enabled the wp_debug option and found there are multiple issues with your database, which explain the problem with duplication. I tried to create new pages to see if the problem still existed, but it seems I'm not allowed to. In that case, I need to escalate the ticket and to do that I need a copy of the site. I tried using Duplicator, which is our preferred option, but it seems I can't do that due to host setup constraints (probably the time limit is not enough). I cannot even take the database backup. Could you see if there are some other options for us to get a copy of the site? |

Hi Laura, Sorry for my delayed response. I was preparing the site to be able to share the files with you. It is ready now, so, could you please allow a private message to put the URL there? Our hosting provider, WPEngine, allows us to download a zip file of the site. Do you mind telling me what you saw with the wp_debug? Thank you. |

Hi, you can check the errors yourself, just open the file wp-content/debug.log in your site. I'll enable a private reply. |

Hi, sorry for the delay in response but we had a high workload due to our latest release and it was also a holiday in Italy. I checked your .zip file, but without the database, I can't recreate your site. I could access the site and take it, but I would need to install a plugin to do so (I would use Duplicator). Also, I can see several "language folder" to define them, could you explain to me why did you create them and for what do you use them for? |

Hi Laura, No problem. Thank you so much for taking the time and reviewing the site and helping us. The database file is located in the wp-content folder. I created those folders to serve static content for the languages that aren't finished yet. |

Hello, I've found that in the table wp_icl_translations there are rows with NULL in the element_id field. Those are causing a database error logged in debug.log about a UPDATE that fails because the trid and language_code already exist and there is an index that prevents of duplication. So I deleted the pages that were duplicated from the original language, deleted the rows with NULL value and re-duplicate the pages in translator management and now the hierarchy is preserved and the translation status is correct. The question now is if what I did: deleting those rows containing NULL in element_id is a good way to fix this problem. All above I did on a copy of the site, so the site that you guys have access was untouched. Please let me know, I would really appreciate. |

Hi, yes, I'm aware of the database errors, I signaled them to the 2nd tiers already. If removing the rows didn't cause any other issues I think it can work, but I asked for a confirmation. |

Hi Laura, Since I know that changes made directly in the database might cause other issues, maybe there is data in other tables referenced. I rather wait to get a confirmation. However, we are hitting deadlines here and we would like to know if we could get an answer by Monday. Thanks a lot. |

Hi, we have reduced workforce during the weekend, so no, I don't think it's possible to have an answer before Monday. |
