This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues with your Armenian homepage being automatically deleted and are unable to reassign or create a new Armenian homepage, there are several factors to consider. This problem occurs without any known user action or plugin explanation, and it persists even after following standard troubleshooting steps.
Solution:
First, ensure that neither WPML nor WordPress should automatically delete front pages. If the issue persists:
1. Restore the page from Trash if available.
2. Create a new homepage in Armenian.
3. Assign this new or restored page as the homepage in Settings > Reading.
4. Add translations via WPML.
5. Clear your site's cache and ensure all plugins are updated.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider disabling all plugins except for WPML and switch to a default WordPress theme like Twenty Twenty to check if the problem persists. If the issue is resolved in this minimal setup, reactivate your theme and plugins one by one to identify the culprit.
Additionally, check for any server-side rules or security tools that might be affecting your site, and review site logs for any signs of automated deletions or conflicts.

If these steps do not help, the solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. 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. If the problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to maintain the front page of my website, hidden link, in the default language, which is Armenian. I am using WPML for language management.

Symptoms:
The front page in the default language (Armenian) is sometimes deleted automatically, and I cannot add or assign an Armenian homepage again.

Questions:
Why is the Armenian front page being deleted automatically?
How can I add or assign an Armenian homepage again after it is deleted?

Hello,
Thank you for contacting us

1.- I understand that the page removed is the frontpage in the default language of the site. If that is correct, then probably WPML is not involved in this behavior because the WPML plugins make no changes to the content in the default language of the site.

I'd recommend disabling all plugins, except the WPML ones, and activating a default WordPress theme, like Twenty Twenty. If the issue disappears in that minimal setup, start by activating the theme and then the rest of the plugins, one by one, until the issue appears again and you find the culprit.

2.- There is a new version of the WPML plugins that you can update in Plugins -> Add new -> Commercial tab

Regards,
Carlos
