Problem: The client reported issues with WPML where translated content that was previously visible and published is now missing. They also noted discrepancies in the translation progress bar and issues with translated pages not having valid URLs or being included in the menu. Solution: 1. For missing content, we could not replicate the issue on the provided site. We requested specific examples to investigate further. 2. If the translation progress bar shows 100% but content appears incomplete, it might be due to automatic translations. To address this, disable automatic translations by selecting "Übersetzung rückgängig machen" in the translation editor and deactivate the automatic translation for the user. This will require manual approval of each segment. 3. For pages without valid URLs, ensure that the translated pages are published, as interim URLs are expected for unpublished content. 4. To include translated pages in menus, use WPML > WP Menus Sync to synchronize and create menus for each language after publishing the pages.
If these steps do not resolve your issues or the solution seems outdated, we recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 the problem persists, please open a new support ticket.
