Dear Mr Subash, [SPLIT TICKET = Number in URL of new created pages = 1 seems to be solved for whatever reason, other one not] However, I see that some of the links in the products are pointing to the products with the format /?post_type=product&p=****. It looks like this could be caused by to WPML Sticky Links plugin that you have on the site. Can you please place the code for "Handling links inside shortcode content" linked below to your child theme functions.php file, then see if it helps? = my reply This has never happened, the number thing, so I wonder if the above is correct. I am not able [to edit the functions.php], I can access it, but no clue where to put this code. The risk is for me to high, as I am not a PHP Expert. I really doubt this is the problem, but you can access the functions.php with the file manager. But I am not sure [as these problems would have happened before, and that was not the case. But of course, you can try it. = strange thing [number disappeared on of the new pages] Private Snorkeling UK Default = But these are still there at Hitory Cerere: still has the number; see three screenshots of the Spanish ES, NL, and DE translations. Regards, |

Dear Mr Sebash, I hope this is solved soon; I have to make seven new pages with product pages. If necessary, when translating [he has seen this site], it could be of help perhaps [just] suggestion, check with your college Mr. Long Nguyen [as he dealt with this site] It turns up that with new tour and product pages [same split issues WPML appear}. I need to continue with the new pages. What you also could do to "copy an existing product = call it Mr. Sebash Test = tour page with the linked product - take, for example [you will probably encounter similar issues]: Fishing Tour [Mr. Sebash] = Tour Page [duplicate], same with Product Page [duplicate], and some "Lorem Ipsum." This will probably show what goes best [translate after Lorem Ipsum en test Tour and Product Page] and show you what is not okay. Not sure, you probably have the solution already:-), I hope.

Dear Mr. Subash / Mr. Long Nguyen, Could you give me an update, if possible? These are old problems that return; I am currently preparing a new one with new pages [but WPML translation]. It is creating problems; I have, for example, with the translated URLs of The Hitoy Product Page, "snorkeling kind of URLs, Google will be punished big time for that." Could you please look at how we worked the first weeks? [I was happy to finish it all = and WPML problems are still present]. Of course, I understand not all go smoothly, but this is, in my opinion, not okay. Regards Please, Mr Subush, also talk with Mr Long [and the split issues, thanks to you both]! Kindest regards, TT |

Hi there, Thank you for all your replies and messages. I see the pages with the issues have a translation update necessary or a circle/update translation icon is shown for those translations. Also, I added the code at https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/sticky-links/#handling-links-inside-shortcode-content in your site at /wp-content/mu-plugins/wpml-sticky-shortcode.php Before we look into the issues individually can you please try the following and see if it helps fix the issues now: - Edit the page with the issue in the primary language. If the issue persists, please let me know the list of issues that still exit and I will split the ticket into those new issues where we can look into them and troubleshoot. Regards, |

Dear Mr Subash, I changed with a minor edit the two tour + 2 related product pages, updated with ATE [in Dutch, German, and Spanish], and the four pages: Two tour pages = UK Defaults: a] Hitoy Cerere same for products pages = UK Default a] "product Hitoy Cerere" All the problems are still there: = Tour pages of Hitoy link to "a snorkeling URL" = This is REALLY WEIRD Could you please also consult with Mr. Long, as we have been over this again, and these solutions did not help [the sticky thing has never been the problem]? I have no clue why this happens. You can check yourself. I hope this can be resolved soon. Another thing, it seems the ATE does not save the changes, not sure. Please consult, as he is working at Chinese times, I have to continue, but this has to be solved. Regards, |

Dear Mr. Sebash / Mr. Long, Apparently, there is a problem with WPML if a page with the ATE! It gets updated, [and probably giant BUGS with the ATE]. = all the shit happens [not all, but a lot of shit], occurs again !!! I give the following example: I update this "tour page" with the ATE: = hidden link Which links the directly related product page of that tour page: = hidden link a] = The "more information" link back from product to tour goes to the UK Default page b] The description text [tab "description"] is in UK Default again instead of the WPML language. Today is Wednesday, September 26; all was solved on September 15 h, at least it seemed like that. All of those problems were solved; see SPLIT Tickets with Mr. Long. Since then, as acquainted: = problem with new pages | products !! Mr. Sebash is looking into that In other words, the same problems happen again. Could you please solve this good once and for all? It is making me sick! Regards, = If not otherwise possible, let secondary support have a close look; at this moment, WPML is shortly said to a living hell [I am sorry to state that, my apologies for that, but that is how I feel now!!] This is not working as it should. |

Hi there, I am very sorry for the experience you had. I will try my best to help you here. But I am not able to fully understand your issues, Long is currently on vacation so I was not able to consult with him. I checked your past tickets and they seem to be mostly minor adjustments in the page. To completely resolve the issues and work on them, let's please focus on one issue at a time. After one issue is resolved we can then move to another issue through a split ticket. You can also open a new ticket if you need faster help with other issues. So, for the issue with the translation of Pages linking to Products with a URL with ID and not an actual URL for example in the translation of pages hidden link or hidden link seems to be resolved now as I no longer see those issues in the pages. If the issue is still there, or if there are issues with other URL translations, can you please try editing the translation and then searching for "HTTP" at the top search in ATE ( translation editor ) and then translating the URLs manually as I see was tried in previous tickets and see if it helps? If the issue is still there, or if you need further help please let me know the next issue we should focus on and also let me know the exact steps/process for me to check/see the issue at my end. Looking forward to your updates. |

Dear Mr. Subash, Tour Pages Url = UK Default = Related Product Page = UK Default URl = look at WPML Translated Pages [I can not change these in the ATE = I have to edit the actual [which WPML does not like] = Dutch / German / Spanish Url. hidden link Look at this: De [I did not make up this URL – I can change in the DE [German Product Page] = but that is dangerous, is it not, like I did with the NL [Dutch] = 5 minutes ago! Of course, if allowed, I can change the actual WPML Translated Page URL = but see the warning signs!!! For example, like! hidden link Regards, Please look also at the translated pages of this product page = “more information link goes to UK default.” = The minor change does not work at my site for the WPML translated pages of the new products.” product UK Default Pages [Please look at WPML = see Flags Dutch | German | Spanish of: Hitoy Cerere my attempts fail with the ATE of minor EDIT on the UK Default Product pages, with the objective = gets all content in the WPML language, so all the "TAB Description." Regards, |

Dear Mr. Subash. About translating, the URL "more information" in the ATE is not the solution; it should work with perhaps a 'trick,'= but it has to be structural = [if not, please check with = development dept or so] but not adapting it manually. WPML should handle the translation. It will cause many problems when optimizing these pages for SEO purposes. [that is the same thing with manual changing in a WPML page. The URL [will cause problems = not redirects 301 for SEO - the site gets blacklisted, with this kind of solution, I am afraid. These backlinks = more information, all worked with the old pages. See the Dropbox link; it contains an Excel file of all the old pages, which were okay till September 12th. hidden link Look, please, only at the lines from 87! I hope you can see now what I mean [we did not solve that by manually changing the URL = in case a default UK URL will change with a redirect, that would mean a significant problem!!! In the future! With all dead-end Links [Google hated that] Please let me know if I can explain it correctly. Regards, hidden link |

Thank you for the details. I am still working on it. I will send you an update after I finish my troubleshooting. Also, will it be okay if I use a plugin like Duplicator to copy your site to my localhost so that I can troubleshoot the issue further there? |

This is the old file with the backlinks from Product page [part TAB Description] = backlinks more information, link sometimes to WPML, sometimes to UK default These pages have not changed [perhaps some, 95% not]! these were fine, and for whatever reason, WPML does not work! All worked andd tested on September 14h; it seems after a while, WPML translation [probably automatic updates] = but AGAIN, cause the same problems [probably auto update from WPML and translations] Please, I need this all solved [I hope you understand; I do my best, but I went OVER and OVER again wrong, and this is not MY MISTAKE! it simply does not work; there are BUGS! I have chosen WPML, but the fixes [also of the past] don't work okay! This is the old file [all worked, now again 30% is again messed up. For me, this is an impossible way of working [and this is probably happening to more people], you have copied my page, so you sort all out [what is structural going wrong [als with ATE and AUTO updates op WPML Translations. hidden link an example, check these pages [they were all working], not anymore, just examples: UK Default = hidden link NL [Dutch] = links again to UK Default DE [German] = links again to UK Default ES [Spanish] I hope you, from WPML, can have solve this all, I need a SOLUTION, not a half solution; something is definitely, not okay!!

Hi there, Subash is off and I will take care of this ticket. For the private snorkeling page (hidden link), I do not see the issue when hovering over the button in the German language. For the "hitoy-cerere" page (hidden link), it looks similar to this case that I shared the solution with you before https://wpml.org/forums/topic/the-button-links-in-the-homepage-slider-are-not-linked-to-translation-page/#post-14355599 The issue here is the button URL You should change the button URL on the "hitoy-cerere" page content, or translate the URL in ATE. However, I see you use the same URL in the German language, not the translation URL. Please check this screenshot hidden link For the "More information" link in the product tab Description, I'm not sure what you did on the site but I've just edit the product > Edit the translation > Complete it again. Then the translation URL displayed on the translation product page as well. Please recheck this Look forward to your reply. |
