Problem: The client is unable to automatically translate the URL slug when using WPML. Despite having automatic translations enabled, the URL field remains empty in the translation editor and defaults to the English slug, which does not meet the client's needs as they often differ from the page title. Solution: 1. To address the issue of untranslated URL slugs, we recommend following the steps in our guide on translating page slugs. You can find the guide here: Translating Page Slugs. 2. If you prefer the URL slug to auto-translate based on the page title, select the 'Auto-generate from title (default)' option in WPML -> Settings -> Translated documents options -> Page URL. 3. For manual translation of the slug, choose the 'Translate' option in the same settings area. This will allow the slug to appear in the Translation Editor for manual adjustment. 4. If these settings do not resolve the issue, we have also provided a screencast with additional steps that might help. View the screencast here: WPML Slug Translation Screencast.

Problem: You are trying to delete ACF repeater fields in the English version of your site, but after deletion, these fields still exist in other languages. Additionally, when trying to save translations in the WPML Translation Editor, the segments are not saving. Solution: First, ensure that all Repeater Fields and Groups are set to "Copy" in the ACF configuration. This setting helps synchronize the deletion across all languages. For more details on setting up field configurations, visit Recommended Custom Fields Translation Preferences for ACF and WPML.
Next, check your server's minimum requirements. WPML requires a WordPress memory limit of at least 128M, but your PHP Memory Limit is currently set to 128M, which might be insufficient. We recommend increasing the WordPress memory limit to at least 256 MB. Contact your hosting provider to adjust the PHP MEMORY LIMIT on the server to at least 256M or higher.
If this solution does not resolve your issue or seems outdated, please check for related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If problems persist, we recommend opening a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
