Tell us what you are trying to do?
I've been translating the website to German, but somehow not all the links have been pointed to the new translation.
Is there any documentation that you are following?
I'm not sure where to look for, I have done it in the past for another website and all seemed fine.
Is there a similar example that we can see?
You can view multiple throughout the whole website if you choose the German language part: hidden link
Welcome to the WPML support forum. Thanks for contacting us.
We are currently handling a high amount of ticket and while waiting for one of my colleagues to help with this ticket, please allow me to walk you through some initial debugging steps.
Few things to verify first:
- If those links point to pages/posts: make sure that those pages are translated and published. Else, WPML won't be able to translate the link.
- Make sure that you use full path links (hidden link) and not relative links (/link)
Then try those solutions:
1. Try to update links automatically
- Go to "WPML > Settings > Translate Link Targets" and click on "Scan now and adjust links"
- Wait for the operation to finish, refresh your frontend to see if links have been updated
2. In the Advanced Translation Editor (ATE), by default, links are hidden. You can find them by using the search bar at the top left of the editor. If you search for "http" you will be able to see all outgoing links from that page. https://wpml.org/announcements/2020/02/translating-links-with-advanced-translation-editor/
- Edit the original page and in the right sidebar section "Languages", click to edit the translation. That will open ATE and you will be able to search for those links
