Problem: The client reported that after moving their website and assigning different keys to both sites, WPML continuously prompted them to select which site is the copy. This issue arose because the site at https://www.sceproject.it was using the same credits for automatic translation as the other site. Solution: We identified that the domain https://www.sceproject.it had an organization attached to it, whereas the https://newsceproject.rrulb.com/ did not. We advised the client to select "mark it as a copy" on the https://newsceproject.rrulb.com/ site if the popup appeared there. This action resolved the issue.

Problem: You are trying to translate a custom post type 'Staff' using WPML and Bricks Builder, but the layout disappears when viewed in the Italian language.

Set the post type 'bricks_template' to 'Translatable - only show translated content' in the WPML settings under Post Type Translation. For detailed guidance on setting template conditions in Bricks Builder, visit Bricks Builder Template Settings.

Problem: The client wants to have two different page layouts for different languages using WPML but encountered issues after initially using the translation editor. Solution: We recommend completing the translation by clicking the save button on each element to copy it from the original. After saving, delete the entire translation. Then, you can duplicate the page and follow the workflow as explained in our video tutorial here: https://www.loom.com/share/aa51354bb1ec448abf610a4d1149aeae.

Problem: The client is trying to translate posts made in Gutenberg using WPML and wants them to appear as one single text box in the Advanced Translation Editor. However, the translation is separating the content into different paragraphs. Solution: 1. In the Advanced Translation Editor, click on the settings icon (gear icon) located at the right top corner. Here, you will find an option to show 'Bigger segments'. 2. If the content still appears as separate paragraphs, you can use the merging chain to merge the paragraphs. Here is a helpful screenshot: https://prnt.sc/C5d-_x9J6en8 3. It is important to note that each paragraph in Gutenberg is treated as its own block, which WPML detects and maintains the same structure. Therefore, the largest segments that can be displayed are based on these individual blocks.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with page layout breaking when translating pages using WPML with Bricks Builder. The layout differences between the original and translated versions are significant. Solution: We identified that the title issue was due to the 'acf_hero_title' field not being updated in the Advanced Translation Editor. Updating this field should correct the title in the translated version. For the style issues, it relates to a known problem described in our errata for Bricks Builder where translated content does not display correctly on the frontend. We applied a temporary workaround as described in the errata. Please check the following demonstration video for a guide on how to apply these fixes: https://www.loom.com/share/2a64a15e6c254656bd835e1170da90bb If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend trying the steps outlined above.
