Problem: The client is facing issues with maintaining SEO settings after translating pages using WPML and Yoast SEO. Specifically, the schema settings like 'Page Type' are not being preserved in the translated versions. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation and click on Show system fields. 2. Set the following fields to Copy:
_yoast_wpseo_schema_article_type
_yoast_wpseo_schema_page_type
3. Reapply the translation for your page. Depending on your setup: - If using Translate Everything Automatically, edit and save the original content to trigger an automatic retranslation. - If manually translating, use the WPML Translation Editor to open and save the translation again. This process might need to be repeated for each page missing the settings. For more detailed guidance, refer to the documentation on Translating Custom Fields.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where opening translated pages in the Elementor front-end editor prompts a license activation warning. This happens because the client is using a different domain for each language, which Elementor interprets as multiple domains needing separate licenses. Solution: We recommend registering all domains used on your site with Elementor to avoid receiving the license activation notification when switching between domains. This is not a bug but rather how Elementor manages domain detection for licensing purposes.

Problem: You are trying to translate a page on your website using WPML, but encounter issues with markers during the translation process. Solution: If you're experiencing issues with markers while translating a page, we recommend that you highlight the first word in yellow and the second word in red. Initially, you might have marked both words in red and then applied yellow to the first word, which does not match the original order. To resolve this, press the "Copy" button to copy the same marker format, and then re-add the translation.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with logging into their WordPress admin in different languages and editing translated pages using Elementor and Yoast SEO. They encounter a redirection issue where the login page switches domains, and credentials do not work unless the browser cache is cleared. Additionally, when editing translated pages, Yoast SEO does not appear in Safe Mode, and a PHP deprecated error related to the rtrim() function is displayed.
Solution: We recommend the client to ensure that their browser cache is cleared regularly to prevent login issues. For the PHP deprecated error, it is advisable to check the PHP version and update it if necessary, as older versions might not fully support current WordPress functionalities. Regarding the issue with Yoast SEO not appearing in Safe Mode, this is expected behavior as some plugins are disabled in Safe Mode to ensure stability and performance. If editing with Elementor is required for translated pages, we suggest contacting Elementor support for compatibility assistance with WPML, as Elementor may not inherently support editing WPML-generated translations.

Problem: You are trying to edit a paragraph in the original language on your website, but after saving, the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE) does not detect any changes, and therefore, does not prompt for further translation. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend disabling any object cache or Speed Optimizer plugins while making translations. This can sometimes resolve the issue where changes to the original language are not detected by ATE. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Disable the object cache in your website's caching settings. 2. If you are using a Speed Optimizer plugin, disable it temporarily. 3. Make some changes to the default language page and check if ATE now recognizes these edits. If the problem persists, it might be due to specific configurations or other plugins affecting WPML's functionality. Since the solution provided might be outdated or not applicable to your case, 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.
