Problem: The client is experiencing 404 errors on their website for pages, products, categories, and other items translated into Dutch after a full WPML reset and manual deletion of Dutch translations from English overview pages. Solution: We discovered that the issue was due to the missing '/products/' part in the URL for Dutch translations, which had a Draft status. To resolve this, we advised the client to check the status of the pages and ensure they are set to Published. This action resolved the 404 errors and displayed the correct Dutch translations.

Problem: The client is unable to display untranslated Dutch products in the English and German versions of their WooCommerce webshop. They also face issues with duplicating products in batches for translation. Solution: We recommend setting the 'Products' to 'Translatable – use translation if available or fallback to default language' in WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation. If this does not resolve the issue, we suggest implementing a custom code solution. If this solution does not apply or is outdated, or if you encounter further issues, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the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.

Problem: The client is unable to display translation flags on their website despite deactivating all plugins except WPML and using the standard WordPress theme. The issue persists even after removing all custom CSS. Solution: We discovered that the footer language switcher is actually present but hidden. We recommend checking the settings in the custom CSS section of your theme, which can be accessed here: Theme Custom CSS settings. For the main menu, ensure that the locations are correctly set to display the mega menu where the language switcher should appear.
