Problem: If you're experiencing an 'Invalid post type' error while editing a Korean translation in the WPML editor, it might be due to issues with how custom post types (CPTs) are registered or managed in a multilingual setup. Solution: 1. Check your Post Type Translation Settings in WPML → Settings → Post Type Translation and ensure the relevant CPTs are set to 'Translatable'. 2. Clear all site caches and run WPML troubleshooting tools available under WPML → Support → Troubleshooting. This includes clearing the cache in WPML, removing ghost entries from translation tables, and fixing post type assignments. 3. Test for plugin or theme conflicts by switching to a default theme and deactivating all plugins except WPML and any CPT plugin. If the error disappears, reactivate plugins one at a time to identify the cause. 4. Verify your CPT registration code, especially if you've registered CPTs manually. Ensure settings like 'has_archive' are correctly configured and that post type slugs and labels are unique. 5. For ACF users, ensure all field names are unique across all field groups to avoid conflicts with WPML’s translation logic. 6. Enable debugging in your wp-config.php file with the following lines:
Then, check the wp-content/debug.log file for specific errors.
