Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	Hello, Our apologies for the delay in answering on your support request. I have been reading the chat and I am not sure if I understand correctly. Are you trying to translate the slug of your posts and pages? Example: Original: hidden link Translation: hidden link Would you like to translate "all-blocks-1-to-6"? If so, go to WPML > Settings > Translated documents options and set "Page URL" to: - "Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title)" This will allow you to translate the slug inside the WPML Translation Editor. Please edit the original page, save it, then open the WPML Translation Editor and complete the translation to 100%. The translations will only show up if you complete the translation to 100% when translating the page for the first time. In case I misunderstood the issue, please let me know what you are expecting to see by giving an exact example and I will be glad to assist you. Best regards Andreas

lrn-accountsP	Please check the whole chat and understand my flow. when your previous support left chat at that time he said I would explain everything to the new supporter so this is miscommunication. this has been working fine since still last update so why it's not working on the new version? Why do I need to update my settings? Without setting change can't this work for the new version? if without setting an update it's not working then it's a bug on the new version of the plugin, right? this replay is very very late can't ever expect this from your side. maybe you do not know about the employee and client hours value.

lrn-accountsP	Hello Yes, I need to translate "all-blocks-1-to-6" without changing the settings. also, I have asked you a few questions can you please give me an answer? 1. This worked fine until the last update, so why isn’t it functioning in the new version? 2. Why do I need to update my settings? 3. Is it possible for this to work with the new version without changing my settings? 4. If it's not working without a settings update, then it means there is a bug in the new version of the plugin, right? I hope you will answer my question now. Thanks

Andreas W. WPML Supporter since 12/2018 Languages: English (English ) Spanish (Español ) German (Deutsch ) Timezone: America/Lima (GMT-05:00)	WPML by default uses the default setting to generate the slug based on the title, which is WordPress Standard. You have is to go to WPML > Settings > Translated documents options and set "Page URL" to: - "Translate (this will include the slug in the translation and not create it automatically from the title)" There is no other way to translate the slug for the page URL without changing this setting.

lrn-accountsP	why it worked fine until the last update? my problem I'm unable to make any changes in production due to security issues; no one can access the admin panel. and if you release a new version then why old version functionality is broken? I have worked for the last 6 years on wordpress this issue has never come up on this type of big plugin.
