Hi,

Welcome to WPML support. would you please follow the steps below?

- Go to "WordPress Dashboard > WPML > Settings > Media Translation".
- Make sure that all the enabled checkboxes there are checked.
- Click the "Start" button.
- Wait for the process to finish.

If the issue persists, I can take a look at the issue. I'd appreciate it if you could give me the URL/User/Pass of your WordPress dashboard after you make sure that you have a backup of your website.
It is absolutely important that you give us a guarantee that you have a backup so if something happens you will have a point of restore.

Make sure you set the next reply as private.

Thanks.

I tried many different ways:

- regenerating thumbnail via plugin,
- synchro products pics via WooCommerce Multilingual & Multicurrency,
- regenerating thumbnail via woocommerce tools,
- updating products,
- cloudflare/wp rocket cache flush
- etc.

:/

With disabled WPML product thumbnails are visible.. So, it should be somehow connected to WPML, but I don't have any other idea how to fix it..

Hi,

Thank you for the login information. The response time for a ticket will take time and I'd appreciate your patience. I will check to see if I can find a solution. If not I might need to report this to the second-tier support and that will need your permission to allow usto copy your website to our server for further investigation.

I will get back to you as soon as I have an answer.

Ok, I think it is fixed now:

hidden link

The issue was that you set the directory for the default language option without specifying the initial page which is mandatory.
Please read this article for more information:

Thanks.

Hi!

I wanted to achieve the effect that the Polish version of the page has the /pl slug, and the English version has the /en slug. Is it possible to achieve this or is it technically a flawed solution?

Thanks..

Hi,

It is possible but for that, you need to do as mentioned in the documentation in the very last section:

https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/directory-default-language/#redirect-the-root-domain-to-the-default-language-directory

Thanks.
