Translated URLS are using page ids

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

Problem:
If you're experiencing issues where your translated URLs are displaying with page IDs instead of the expected slugs, it might be due to the pages not being published. In WordPress, unpublished or draft pages default to using page IDs in their URLs.
Solution:
We recommend checking the status of the pages in question. Please navigate to your pages section and ensure that these pages are indeed published. This action should resolve the issue of URLs displaying with page IDs.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to open a new support ticket at our support forum.

Bobby Supporter Languages: English (English ) Timezone: America/Los_Angeles (GMT-08:00)	Hi there, When reviewing the URLs it looks like they are not published yet. WordPress by default sets the URLs to use the page IDs when a page is not published and is in a draft state. Please go to pages and review these pages to verify they are published. Let me know your results, please.
