Background of the issue:
I am trying to get rid of a Yoast SEO mis-assessment on my translated page. I have already talked to Yoast, but it didn't help. The issue can be seen on this page: hidden link
Symptoms:
I expected to see the same Yoast SEO assessment as the original (English) page, but instead, I got a totally bogus warning error.
Questions:
How can I resolve the Yoast SEO mis-assessment on my translated page?
Why is there a discrepancy between the Yoast SEO assessment on the original and translated pages?
WordPress has a built-in feature that detects when a plugin or theme causes a fatal error on your site, and notifies you with this automated email.
In this case, WordPress caught an error with one of your plugins, WPML Multilingual CMS.
First, visit your website (hidden link) and check for any visible issues. Next, visit the page where the error was caught (hidden link) and check for any visible issues.
Before getting the email, this message appeared on the WordPress admin page:
There has been a critical error on this website. Please check your site admin email inbox for instructions. If you continue to have problems, please try the support forums.
WPML has detected a change in your site's URL. To continue translating your site, go to your WordPress Dashboard and tell WPML if your site has been moved or copied.

I have NOT changed anything on the site, except for updating WordPress and WPML plugins.
To resolve the initial issue on my first post here, I ended up making a small change in the page title and back to the same name beforehand. That's where all the other issues mentioned thereafter started.
Okay, I just restored the website to prior having those update issues. So, let's try to resolve my first initial issue with Yoast bogus assessment warning on the translated page only.
Thank you for getting back to me. I was able to fix it just now. There was a glitch on one of the image texts. After multiple cache clearings and a few resets of the page itself, I was able to stabilize WPML. The bogus Yoast error is now gone.
