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

Problem:
The client is experiencing an issue where all SEO score bullets are grey on the translated French pages in WordPress, indicating a potential problem with the SEO implementation on these pages.
Solution:
We recommend the following steps to address the issue:
1. Edit a page and verify if the SEO options are correctly applied.
2. Ensure you are following the steps outlined in the WPML documentation for using WordPress SEO with WPML, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/.
3. Try disabling all non-WPML plugins and switch to a default theme to see if the issue persists. Remember to back up your site (both files and database) before making any changes.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, or if the solution seems outdated or not applicable to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent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 continues, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

Hi there! 🙂

Welcome to WPML support. I'd be happy to assist you.

Could you try editing a page and check if the SEO options are correctly applied?

Also, are you following the steps outlined here? https://wpml.org/documentation/plugins-compatibility/using-wordpress-seo-with-wpml/.

Have you tried disabling all non-WPML plugins, switching to a default theme, and seeing if the issue persists?

Please remember to back up your site (both files and database) before making any updates or changes—this is always a good practice.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!
