updating menus

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

Problem:
You are trying to get the menu links to update based on translations, but the 'book now' button is not linking to the expected URL. Instead, it redirects to a different booking system URL.
Solution:
First, ensure you take a full backup of your site. The issue might be due to leftover posts in the database that are overriding the correct translated header. To resolve this, run the following command in your database:

DELETE FROM wp_posts WHERE ID IN (10539, 11003);

This should clean up the leftover entries and update the links correctly.

If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Also, check the related known issues and ensure you have the latest versions of themes and plugins installed. For further assistance, please visit our support forum.

glynH-2	Background of the issue: I am trying to get the menu links to update based on what has already been translated. I expected to see the 'book now' button linking to reservations.lancasterbangkok.com on the page hidden link. Symptoms: Instead, the booking link updated to: hidden link. Questions: Why are the menu links not updating based on the translations? How can I ensure the 'book now' button links to the correct URL? Here is a screen cast: hidden link

I've escalated your ticket to our dev team, which will look for a permanent solution to the issue. That usually takes a few days. I'll keep you informed.
