gustavoF-11	Tell us what you are trying to do? After translation of all content, the anchor links in main menu are not working, even though they were translated. I checked both the CSS ID and link in menus. Everything looks good but not working. Is there any documentation that you are following? https://wpml.org/forums/topic/how-to-manage-anchor-links-and-section-ids-with-elementor/ For instance: Original working good: hidden link Translated not working: hidden link
