Problem:
The client reported a recurring 404 error due to the automatic modification of the .htaccess file by the WPML plugin, which incorrectly rewrites rules based on the language of the site, causing navigation issues.
Solution:
We identified this as a known issue not directly caused by WPML but related to its interaction with .htaccess configurations. We recommend following the workaround detailed in our FAQ to prevent .htaccess from being overwritten when the language changes. You can find the step-by-step guide here: https://wpml.org/faq/why-is-htaccess-getting-overwritten-with-the-language-folder-on-my-wpml-website/

If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we encourage you to open a new support ticket for further assistance.
