Hello,

We are experiencing an issue with the Advanced Translation Editor on one specific CPT ("teams") only.

For all other post types, ATE works correctly.

When clicking “Edit in Advanced Translation Editor” on a teams post, we are redirected to a completely blank page.

In the logs, we consistently see the following error: ATE Server Communication Unauthorized "status":401

So it seems to be an authentication issue between our site and the ATE server.

What we have already tried

We cleared the cache of all caching plugins.

We also ran the following actions in:
Clear WPML cache
Synchronize local job ids with ATE
Synchronize local job ids with ATE jobs
Synchronize posts taxonomies
Fix post type assignment for translations

Despite these actions, the issue persists only for this CPT.

Additional information

Other CPTs work fine with ATE
The problem is reproducible on every teams post
The page loads blank immediately after clicking “Edit in Advanced Translation Editor”
Error log consistently shows 401 Unauthorized related to ATE server communication
