Hi,
I have two page, one in french, the other in english. When they are both stand alone, they work just fine.

When I the "connect with translation" both page, they still work. The language switch work too.

As soon as I press the "save" button on one or the other page, even if I have edited nothing, the page break.

I am using the Greenshift Block Theme.

What could it be?

Hi there,
Thank you very much for your message. I hope you are doing well too 🙂

Please click on the translation icon -see attached image- and tell me if you can manually edit the translated page, save it, and solve the problem.

Sorry, but what do you expect me to do?

This page get bugged when I create a translation of it. When it's standalone without any translation, it's fine and work flawlessly.

Hi,

I expect you to connect the page by following this guide: https://wpml.org/documentation/translating-your-contents/using-different-translation-editors-for-different-pages/ which allows you to have different designs per language and makes the translated content independent from the original one.

Hi Carlos,
Both page are already independent.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing the credentials requested

After editing the page in French, making a small change, and saving the changes, the page hidden link appears correctly.

I confirm that the page look good.

Then, I proceeded myself with a small edit which I have added "small edit" in the page headline, then I clicked save.

The page is broken once again : hidden link
