When translating to German and Greek, the Templates are not defined on the translated page and get a different Header, Footer and Header Navigation, Footer Navigation. A page that has been translated in both languages is this one to see the problem hidden link |

Hi, I'm sorry, but so far, I haven't able to figure out how your site is structured or fix the header and footer translations. To investigate the issue further, I created a copy of your site and downloaded it to my computer. I'll continue investigating this issue and keep you updated. Please note that my weekends are Friday to Saturday. If you need further assistance, I'll be available to continue checking this issue and helping you next week. I appreciate your patience. |

Hi, Yes, there are a few DataBase adjustments you need to make for this to work. Here are the steps you need to take: 1. Take a backup of your site in case something goes wrong. SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_name` LIKE '%header%' Then, for ID 4590, change the post_name from 'header-2' to 'header'. Save the change. SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_name` LIKE '%footer%' Then, for ID 4594, change the post_name from 'footer-2' to 'footer'. Save the change. SELECT * FROM `wp_posts` WHERE `post_title` LIKE '%No Title (Foul Width)%' Then, for ID 3312, change the post_name from 'wp-custom-template-villa-2' to 'wp-custom-template-villa'. Save the change. With the copy of your site on my local server, the above solved the problem. |

What happens with the template in contact also happens to other pages that use the same template, which are many, and what will happen in the future if we want to make a new page with this template? |

If it is convenient to delete the translated Header, Footer, Navigation, Footer Navigation, and Templates, you can do so and I will translate them again, as long as the same problem does not occur again in the translation, thanks |

Hi, Before doing anything else, I can see that you fixed the header. You wrote: "If it is convenient to delete the translated Header, Footer, Navigation, Footer Navigation, and Templates, you can do so and I will translate them again, as long as the same problem does not occur again in the translation." I already tried that, but it didn't work. The problem seems to be in the DB. It is unclear to me why this problem occurs. It might have occurred due to a site migration failure. I'll keep you updated. Regards, |
