Problem: The client's site is large, and launching "Translate Link Targets" for the entire site is time-consuming and potentially risky as it might alter links sitewide without specific control. The client is interested in scanning links only for newly added pages or a small group of pages to enhance speed and security. Solution: Currently, WPML does not support the feature to selectively scan only specific pages for translating link targets. The system is designed to automatically translate internal page links if the linked pages have been translated. If for some reason the links are not translated automatically, a full site scan is required. We recommend checking the related known issues and verifying that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If this solution does not apply to your case because it might be outdated or not suitable, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
Problem: The client is using the Spectra Blocks plugin with the Astra Theme and has encountered an issue where custom CSS added to a page is not being copied to the translated page when using the WPML translation editor.
Solution: We recommend the following steps to ensure that custom CSS is copied to the translated pages: 1. Navigate to WPML >> Settings >> Custom Fields Translation section. 2. Click on the "Show system fields" link. 3. Search for the
_uag_custom_page_level_css
field and set it to copy. 4. Click the Save button. 5. Open the default language page in Edit mode and press the update button.
Please try these steps on your site to see if it resolves the issue.
Note that the solution provided might be irrelevant due to being outdated or not applicable to your case. If the issue persists, we highly recommend checking related known issues, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If necessary, please open a new support ticket for further assistance.
Problem: The client has a website with the main language in English (EN) and is translating it into German (DE), Spanish (ES), and Portuguese (PT). The English version has more pages and a different menu than the translated versions. The client wants to create a custom menu for DE, ES, and PT, and is unsure how to create the menu in English and then translate it, as well as how to copy the menu from DE to ES and PT without having to recreate it manually for each language.
Solution: We recommend the following workflow for synchronizing menus: 1. Use WPML's menu synchronization feature by navigating to WPML > WP Menus Sync. This will help you sync menus from the site's default language to other languages. 2. If a page is translated, WPML will automatically create the same menu in all languages, based on the default language. 3. For custom menu items, you can translate them at WPML > String Translation.
If you need different menus for different languages, you will need to adjust them manually for each language at Appearance > Menus.
