[Closed] Unable to update links

Hello there,

Can you provide me few pages link where I can see the wrong urls?

Further, To debug this issue further, I would need to check your site settings once, for this I would need temporary access (wp-admin and ftp) to your site.

So could you please provide me with those details, you will find the needed fields for this below the comment area when you log in to leave your next reply.

Hello,

Yes, I have the duplicator, can you provide me steps to step guide to reproduce the error? If possible a video will be helpful.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Hello 🙂

What you’re seeing is expected behavior—let me explain.

You’re using external links inside the pages. Since these links don’t come from the same site, they’re treated as external rather than internal. During migration, the URLs on the page are updated, but the associated translation jobs don’t get refreshed. As a result, the wrong URLs appear.

To fix this, you can open the page in the editor and update it. This will create a new translation job, refresh the existing jobs, and ensure the links appear correctly. I also noticed the same links are added multiple times, so with the new job you’ll see new entries for each repeated URL.

WPML tries to guess translations based on previous URLs, but since the actual URLs have changed, you’ll need to manually correct them and save the updated translations for now.

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks!

Hello there,

No, it wouldn't help as the new changed links aren't in the translations database.

Thanks

Hello there,

How can remove old links from the translations fields because if I make migration 3 times I will have 3 field for each link instead of 1?

I don't think it's due to migrations, I checked with one pages and it's showing the exact number of links added in the page editor. Update triggered the changes and it's showing the correct numbers.

I would suggest you to check page content and see if those links exists multiple times.

Look forward to your reply.

Thanks

Hello there,

Instead of removing the entry from translations editor, you can correct the url and save the translations. That should be the easy way rather than deleting content and re-translate it.

Thanks

Hello there,

Looks like my response wasn't clear.

Instead of removing the entry from translations editor, you can correct the url and save the translations.

I want you to translate the double urls in the translations editor itself, just save the same link as translations. Once done, update the page again and see if double links appear again.

Thanks
