Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where a URL in the footer does not translate correctly on the Danish and German versions of their site, despite being saved in WPML's string translations. The issue is that the URL appears with an extra 'www' which leads to missing links. Solution: We recommend checking and adjusting the URL directly in the menus for each language. Here are the steps to follow: - Go to Appearance > Menu - Click the Pencil icon beside the Language name. - Open the menu item and adjust the link by removing the 'www' part.

Problem: The client reported that an automatic translation was stuck and mentioned a specific job ID. After blocking the latest stuck translation update, the translation seemed to be working again. Solution: We recommended the client to try using the WPML Translation Editor in a different browser and to perform a hard refresh by pressing
Ctrl + Shift + R
(or
Cmd + Shift + R
for Mac users) while using the Translation Editor. Upon further investigation, we identified a fatal error related to Elementor Pro, which prevented the translation job from being downloaded back to the website. We resolved the issue by canceling the pending automatic job, making a slight change to the original homepage, reverting it, saving it, and completing the translation again.

Problem: The client was unable to review translations on their other domains and received the error message "Sorry, you are unable to review drafts". They had already tried clearing the cache and checking for valid domain registration and translation pairs.
Solution: We recommended increasing the WP memory limit to at least 128MB, as per WPML's minimum requirements. The client was instructed to add the following code to their
