Problem: You are experiencing bad gateway errors on specific pages when the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin is activated, particularly when switching languages from French to English. The issue seems to arise due to a conflict between WPML and Elementor Pro plugins. Solution: We recommend the following steps to resolve the issue: 1. Deactivate all non-WPML plugins and switch to a standard WordPress theme to check if the problem persists. Remember to back up your database and website before proceeding. 2. If the error continues, enable the WP debug log, revisit the problematic page, and share the log file with us for further analysis. You can find guidance on enabling the WP debug log here: WordPress Debug Documentation. 3. As a temporary workaround, you can go to WPML > Translations and approve translations in bulk, then adjust the settings in WPML > Settings > Automatic translation to 'Publish right away without reviewing' to avoid reviewing translations that might trigger the error.
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution becomes outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at WPML Known Issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.
Problem: You are developing a site using Elementor and WPML, with everything set to auto-translate. However, the links within the text widgets of Elementor do not correctly point to the translated French pages but remain linked to the English versions. Solution: First, ensure that the page translation is set to review, indicated by the eye icon next to the French language. When editing the translation, check that the strings supposed to be links are highlighted correctly with the "a" and "strong" tags. If they are not, manually adjust them to ensure they are highlighted as links. Completing this step should correct the link direction in the translated version. For detailed guidance on safe HTML editing in translations, please visit our documentation: Advanced Translation Editor - Safe HTML Editing.
