khaledS-6	Background of the issue: I need help with my website hidden link. After translating all my websites using WPML, I tested them, but the Arabic pages were not working. I also need help changing some page names in Arabic for the main menu. Symptoms: Arabic pages are not working after translation. Questions: How can I fix the issue with the Arabic pages not working? How can I change some page names in Arabic for the main menu?

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught ValueError: Unknown format specifier "�" in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/document-types/page-base.php:181 Stack trace: #0 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/document-types/page-base.php(181): sprintf() #1 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/modules/floating-buttons/module.php(416): Elementor\Core\DocumentTypes\PageBase::get_labels() #2 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/modules/floating-buttons/module.php(87): Elementor\Modules\FloatingButtons\Module->register_contact_pages_cpt() #3 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/base/module.php(86): Elementor\Modules\FloatingButtons\Module->__construct() #4 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/modules-manager.php(64): Elementor\Core\Base\Module::instance() #5 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/plugin.php(742): Elementor\Core\Modules_Manager->__construct() #6 /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/includes/plugin.php(660): Elementor\Plugin->init_components() #7 /public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(324): Elementor\Plugin->init() #8 /public_html/wp-includes/class-wp-hook.php(348): WP_Hook->apply_filters() #9 /public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(517): WP_Hook->do_action() #10 /public_html/wp-settings.php(704): do_action() #11 /public_html/wp-config.php(121): require_once('/home/yoraagen/...') #12 /public_html/wp-load.php(50): require_once('/home/yoraagen/...') #13 /public_html/wp-blog-header.php(13): require_once('/home/yoraagen/...') #14 /public_html/index.php(17): require('/home/yoraagen/...') #15 {main} thrown in /public_html/wp-content/plugins/elementor/core/document-types/page-base.php on line 181 If I deactivate the Elementor plugin, there will be no fatal error on the Arabic homepage. The error does not mention WPML as the problem. However, we need to investigate this issue further. Please allow me to take a copy of your site. I must install a plugin like Duplicator or All In One Migration for this. Please let me know if you agree. Thanks, Itamar.
