kevinL-62	Background of the issue: I've just restored my multi-site to a previous version, where I had set the Menu and language information perfectly. I removed the Japanese in 'ja' and duplicated all new content in Japanese with the language code 'JP'. after this i backup, and made some changes I didn't want, so i do a restore. Symptoms: After restoring the site, the menu became a mess, with all translations assigned to English, and all the translation settings disappeared. Additionally, the WPML Menu sync shows a Timeout error. Questions: Why did the menu translations revert to English after restoring the site? How can I resolve the Timeout error in WPML Menu sync?

kevinL-62	Dear Sris, Even worse now ... I tried to restore again, but now even some posts didn't apply the categories that I originally edited, even Home Page language connection were broken. (e.g. need to re-define the home page, and the original wpml translation connection were lost, I probably need to review one by one) Meanwhile I can't visit the Menu Sync as well, still timeout, but my server has already raised to the highest limit. Would like to have your advise ASAP as I originally planned to launch the site today.. Thank you so much!

kevinL-62	Dear Sirs, I tried to restore again.. This time! I am able to access the Menu Sync of WPML, and the language information of some posts didn't mess up. However I still face the Menu of translation being grouped into English, and if I do the Menu Sync , it will create thousand of menus. hidden link I am really urgent to launch the site, hope that i can have support help asap.thank you!

It seems that there were a problem restoring the backup. Do you have a backup without the translations of the menu? Otherwise you will need to delete menu in english manually and do the translation again, or go to the corresponding menu change language and connect to menu.

kevinL-62	Dear Paola, I actually fixed it previously, by deleting all the translated menus, and re-sync with WPML Menu Sync. HOWEVER, I just restored to another new backup, but the issue happen again! may I know how to know what's the problem, otherwsie I will have to do all these again after every restore? It will be very unacceptable and terrible to me. This is a urgent case for me since the page is on live. thank you so much!
