Problem: The client's site breaks every time there is a WPML update, displaying only links instead of the expected page content. Solution: We recommend updating WPML and other plugins or themes in a staging environment before applying changes to the live site. This approach is considered best practice to avoid disruptions on your live site. After performing the update in the staging environment, please inform us so we can analyze the situation if the issue persists.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. Should the problem continue, please open a new support ticket with us for further assistance.
Problem: The client is trying to translate elements of the Kadence theme on their WordPress site using WPML, but some elements are not showing up on translated pages because they are set to 'Not translate'. Solution: 1. Verify that Kadence Elements are set to 'Translatable - only show translated items' at WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation, and ensure all custom posts (elements) are translated. 2. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Custom Field Translation, click 'Show system fields', and set the custom fields related to Kadence settings to 'Copy'. 3. For the display conditions that are not translating correctly, set the custom field
_kad_element_show_conditionals
to 'Copy once'. This allows manual setting of display conditions in the second language using the Element Settings in the Sidebar without overwriting the setting when translating the Element again. 4. Go to Appearance > Kadence > Elements and use the WPML Translation Editor to translate the elements.
