Problem: The client was experiencing issues with missing blocks of Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) content on the German pages. Although translations were visible in the WPML editor, they were not appearing in the WordPress editor.
Solution: We reviewed the WPML->Settings->Custom XML configuration and found conflicting XML settings. We removed most of the conflicting XML, which should resolve the issue. We also noticed that the Flexible Sections field was set to 'Same fields across languages', which should allow for translation without additional settings. We suggested that the client create a sample test page or duplicate the homepage to see if the problem persists on new pages.
If you're experiencing similar issues, we recommend checking your WPML->Settings->Custom XML configuration for any conflicts and ensuring that your fields are set correctly for translation. If the problem continues, try creating a new test page or duplicating an existing page to check if the issue is resolved.
