Problem: You are trying to translate your SEO titles and descriptions using Rankmath for SEO on your website, but when you search your website on Google, the homepage displays an English Rankmath title and description instead of the Dutch ones. Additionally, you cannot find the SEO titles and descriptions in WPML > string translations. Solution: We noticed that you are using the browser redirect option, which can cause such issues since Google bots are always redirected to the English page. We recommend disabling this option. You can learn more about how browser language redirect affects Google indexing here: https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/language-setup/automatic-redirect-based-on-browser-language/how-browser-language-redirect-affects-google-indexing/. After disabling, please wait a few weeks for Google to re-index your site correctly. Additionally, checking the source of your .com page should show that the metadata is correct and in the intended language.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the German flag on their WordPress site appears smaller than other flags despite setting all flags to a uniform size of 30x30 in WPML > Languages. The issue persists even after adding custom code to prevent resizing. The problem seems to be related to the Blocksy theme, as changing to a different theme resulted in consistent flag sizes. Solution: We recommend checking the original size of the uploaded flag images, as the German flag might be smaller in its original dimensions. If the flags are not uniform in size, consider uploading new images that match the desired dimensions. Additionally, since the issue is theme-specific, contacting the theme's support for insights or considering a theme change might be necessary if consistent flag sizes are crucial. For now, setting all flags to 'auto' ensures they appear consistent across different pages, albeit smaller.

Problem: The client wanted to fix the position of the language switcher in the menu to ensure it stays at a fixed distance from the Instagram icon on every translated page. Additionally, the client's blog page was not appearing on the translated pages.
Solution: 1. To fix the position of the language switcher, we suggested custom coding, which is beyond our support scope. This could involve setting a minimum width for the menu. Alternatively, we recommended placing the language switcher next to the Instagram icon using PHP and shortcodes, following the steps in our guide: Adding language switchers using PHP and shortcodes.
2. To address the blog page not appearing in translated versions, we advised ensuring that the Blog page and its posts are translated and published in the secondary languages.
3. We also recommended increasing the WordPress memory limit to at least 128MB, as per our minimum requirements: WPML minimum requirements. The client can add the following code to the
