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

Problem:
The client was experiencing an issue where not all forms, especially popup forms, were visible in the backend list of a newsletter plugin, even when selecting 'all languages'. This issue was not occurring with shortcode forms.
Solution:
We recommended using the 'Set language information' option found under WPML > Support > Troubleshooting to make the forms visible. This step needs to be repeated each time a new popup form is created. Additionally, we suggested checking other recommended plugins for email marketing and lead generation, which can be found here: https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/email-marketing-lead-generation/.

Please note that this solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case.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 issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to implement a newsletter plugin and have created different forms, including popups and shortcodes. I have talked to Noptin support, who advised me to contact your support because they believe it is an error in your plugin. You can reproduce the error with their free plugin. Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link (only in backend).

Symptoms:
Not all forms are shown in the backend list that displays all my active forms, even when I select 'all languages'. Shortcode forms are shown in the list, but popup forms are not.

Questions:
Why are not all forms shown in the backend list, even when selecting 'all languages'?
Why are popup forms not shown in the list while shortcode forms are?

Hello,

I was able to recreate the issue on a new test site and I am escalating it to our compatilbity team for further revision.

So far I can confirm, that no new form type is getting registered on my test site, as for some reason the necessary entry on WPML's translations table is not being created for new forms.

Once I have feedback from our team I will reach out to you again.

Note, that we do not list this plugin inside our recommended plugins:
https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/email-marketing-lead-generation/

Best regards
Andreas

Could you please use our troubleshooting option "Set language information" to see if this fixes the issue?

You find the option at WPML > Support > Troubleshooting.

Please also test, if the issue occurs again if you create more forms.

Hi Andreas.
I pressed "i still need assistance" but really i dont 🙂

When i press "set language information", the forms become visible.

However... If i create a new popup form, it is not visible in the list until i manually press "Set language information"

I can live with that, and you can close my ticket (and decide if you want to do further investigations)
Thank you very much for your help.
