[Resolved] I can't edit the french pages on my website

Hello,

I just had a look into the reported issue.

1) I went to hidden link
2) I closed Cornerstone and went back to WP Admin without taking any changes
3) In the right sidebar I clicked the translation status icon (See screenshot)
4) The Advanced Translation Editor opens as expected and is completed to 0% (See screenshot)

Could you please complete the translation and let me know if something did not work out as expected?

Is there maybe another page that is causing issues with Cornerstone as well?}

Hello,

We recommend to translate Cornerstone with the WPML Translation Editor, as mentioned in the documentation I shared earlier.

https://wpml.org/documentation/theme-compatibility/xtheme/

1) When translating with the WPML Translation Editor we alywas translate from original content language to second language, unregardless about the WPML site default language.

2) If a post was created in EN it will get translated from EN to FR with the WPML Translation Editor. Changes on the EN version will change the translation status an request a translation update.

3) Now, in a case where you have created the translations on the Cornerstone and not on the WPML Translation Editor please disable the WPML Translation Editor for this content. The option can only be found on the original content inside the right sidebar of the WordPress Editor.

It is important that you disable the WPML Translation Editor for any content that was translated manually on the Cornerstone Editor, as otherwise your manual edited translations will get overwritten by the WPML Translation Editor and lost.

About your example:
hidden link (FR)

This site appears ot have been completely translated with the WPML Translation Editor, anyhow I see some of the strings were actually not translated from FR to EN.

In this case you should complete the translations only on the WPML Translation Editor and avoid making manual edits on the English versions, as those will get overwritten once you translate the content again with the WPML Translation Editor from FR to EN.

1) Why do you need to edit the English version manually?
2) Is there some content translation not working as expected? Are you missing content on the WPML Translation Editor or are completed translations not showing up on Front-End?
3) If so, can you narrow this down to a specific Cornerstone Widget?

What I see here now is, that the WPML Translation Editor is showing FR content for EN; which means that the content also seems to NOT have been translated with the WPML Translation Editor.

Could it be that the content on hidden link was created manually inside Cornerstone?

If so, disable the WPML Translation Editor on the FR page and try to edit the EN version again manually.

IMPORT:
Do not apply the current translation on the WPML Translation Editor, as they would overwrite your content.

Let me know if disabling the WPML Translation Editor on the original FR page solves the issue.

Best regards
Andreas
