mauroG-14	Good morning, on the site: hidden link we have a problem that occurs about once a month. We know it's a WPML-related problem, because I've read from several places that WPML is the cause and because what causes the problem is the change in the .htaccess file to the WPML RewriteRules. When this happens all pages, except the home page, give an error. Upon investigation we saw that the problem is that WPML overwrites the correct .htaccess (listed first below) with one that has the wrong paths (listed second below). It was not possible to understand if there is interference with other plugins, because it is a problem that occurs every now and then, without continuity and without apparent causes.

Marsel Nikolli	Hi, Thank you for contacting WPML Support, I will gladly help you. It might not be related to your issue, but from the debug info you provided, I noticed that you are using WordPress v6.2.4, I would suggest you update to the latest version --- The issue you are facing is not caused by WPML, it comes from certain third-party plugins calling flush_rewrite_rules(true) function too often. This causes WordPress to overwrite .htaccess. I would suggest you try following the instructions shown in the errata here: https://wpml.org/errata/htaccess-is-rewritten-with-language-folder/ After that try re-saving the permalinks and see if the issue still happens. * Note: Please make sure you have a full backup of your website before making any updates/changes on your website. Let me know how it goes. Kind regards, Marsel
