Problem: If you're experiencing an issue where after adding a new language with WPML, your header reverts to the default theme header when switching to the new language, despite having the correct translations and settings in place, we have a solution for you.
Solution: First, ensure you have a complete backup of your website, especially the database, before making any changes. The issue may be due to the slug of the "header" template part not being correctly recognized by WPML. To fix this, you will need to update the database directly. Run the following SQL command to change the `post_name` from 'header-2' to 'header':
UPDATE `wp_posts` SET `post_name` = 'header' WHERE `post_name` = 'header-2'
This should resolve the translation issue with the "header" template part. If you're not comfortable with direct database manipulation, please contact us for further assistance.
Please note that this solution might be irrelevant if it's outdated or not applicable to your case. We highly recommend checking related 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, don't hesitate to open a new support ticket.
