Problem: The client added a WPML language switcher to their site, but changing the language was breaking the page design.
Solution: We identified that the issue was due to certain fields in the 'Page settings' section not being copied to the translations when editing the page in the default WP editor. We changed the configuration of the following fields in WPML -> Settings -> Custom Fields Translation to 'Copy' instead of 'Don't translate':
content_type
_header_disable
_title_disable
To resolve the issue, follow these steps: 1. Open the page or post in the default language for editing. 2. Make a small change, such as adding a word or dot. 3. Save the changes. 4. Update the translation. 5. Ensure that any Elementor template used on this page or post is also translated and published.
If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 issues persist, please open a new support ticket.
