Problem: You are using WPML on your website and notice that the header and footer change when switching languages, despite not having other header or footer components defined. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend the following steps: 1. Remove the translated header/footer template. You can follow this guide on how to do it: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-delete-the-translation-of-a-page/ 2. Open the default language header/footer template in Edit mode. 3. Duplicate them into the English language. 4. Edit the translated header/footer templates in WPML Translation Editor and press the 'Complete translation' button.
This should ensure that your header and footer display consistently across different languages. Please check your website to confirm that the layout and translation appear correctly.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 needed, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket for further assistance at WPML support forum.
