Background of the issue:
I am trying to host a WordPress site using WPML Multilingual CMS on Hostinger. I encountered an issue where the Hostinger 404 page appears randomly. I noticed that nothing is logged in debug.log, indicating that WordPress isn’t receiving the request when it fails. I tried uninstalling WPML Multilingual CMS, and the 404 error did not occur. When I disable the WPML plugin, the same post in all languages started showing on the default language page, so I had to reactivate the WPML plugin.

Symptoms:
The Hostinger 404 page appears randomly, and no logs are recorded in debug.log. The issue seems related to a rewrite cache problem with WPML.

Questions:
Why does the Hostinger 404 page appear randomly when using WPML?
How can I resolve the rewrite cache issue with WPML?
