Problem: If you're experiencing a 404 error on your WooCommerce category page due to a compatibility issue with Rank Math, it might be related to the 'Remove parent slugs' option or incorrect slug translations for different languages. Solution: 1. Check if the 'Remove parent slugs' option in Rank Math is causing the issue. A temporary fix can be found in our errata: https://wpml.org/errata/rank-math-seo-remove-parent-slugs-option-causes-category-slug-translation-error-404/ 2. If the issue persists, you may need to adjust the slug translations: - Navigate to WPML > Settings > Slug translations and ensure it is enabled. - Go to WPML > Taxonomy Translation > Product Categories and check the slug translations for each language. - Ensure that the slug translations are either blank or a copy of the original WordPress settings: 'product-category'. 3. If you have modified the Rank Math plugin files as a workaround, ensure to update the slug translations accordingly. You might need to edit the original pages and update the translations in the Advanced Translation Editor.

Problem: The client is facing an issue where the automatic currency conversion rate update is not working as expected on their website. They are concerned about potential conflicts due to having over 40 plugins installed. Solution: We recommend the following steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue: 1) Ensure that WooCommerce and WCML are updated to the latest versions. Before making any changes, take a full backup of your website and database. 2) Deactivate all plugins except for WPML, String Translation, WCML, and WooCommerce. 3) Switch to a standard theme, such as Twenty Twenty-Four or Twenty Twenty-One. 4) Check if the issue still occurs. 5) Reactivate the plugins one by one, checking for the issue after each activation to identify any conflicts. 6) If the issue does not reappear after all plugins are activated, switch back to your original theme to check if it is the cause. Additionally, consider that cron jobs require time to run, typically scheduled every 24 hours. You can use cron manager plugins from WordPress.org to manage and test cron jobs. For further debugging, enable WPML's debugging feature as described at https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/ and monitor the /wp-content/debug.log file for any errors during the cron job execution.

Problem: The client was experiencing mixed content issues when translating the 'admin_texts_astra-settings' domain, where translations were replacing the original English text with Spanish on their website. Solution: The client resolved the issue before the WPML support team could provide a solution. However, if you're experiencing similar issues, we recommend setting up a staging website to test translations thoroughly before applying them to the live site. This approach helps identify and fix translation issues without affecting the live environment.

Problem: After duplicating products and importing translated content via WP All Export and Google Sheets, the products still display as duplicates in the admin area with a message indicating they are maintained by WPML. This could potentially overwrite the translations if the original product is edited. Solution: This behavior is expected because WP All Export does not modify the post status in the postmeta table, which means imported products remain marked as duplicates. To resolve this, you can manually set each product to 'translate independently' by clicking the respective button in the WPML interface. Alternatively, you can attempt to remove the
_icl_lang_duplicate_of
keys using WP All Import, which might change their status to independent translations. Detailed steps for this process can be found here. Ensure you back up your site before making these changes.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the 'Advanced translator' overrides manually edited product category names during the translation of products, leading to incorrect translations that do not consider the manually edited category names. Solution: We recommend using the WPML Glossary to manage specific translations and ensure that manually edited category names are considered in future translations. This approach helps in maintaining consistency and accuracy in translations by preventing the 'translation memory' from overriding manual edits.

Problem: The client is facing two issues with their multilingual site using WPML and Funnel Kit. First, Elementor cannot load the editor for the French version of the checkout due to a cross-origin error. Second, the default English language checkout incorrectly loads the French version. Solution: 1. For the Elementor issue, it's likely related to the cross-origin policy. We recommend checking with your hosting provider to ensure that the cross-origin policy is disabled. If problems persist, contact your hosting support to disable the CORS policy. 2. Verify that you have added the correct page IDs in the code snippet to ensure that the correct language version loads. 3. Ensure that the French checkout page is created correctly. It should be manually edited and set up as in the English version, even when WPML is disabled. 4. Check the setup on a staging site where different domains per language are not used, as this might resolve the issue.

Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where after updating the theme customizer, the content that should remain in English is instead showing in other languages. This problem is linked to the Query Monitor plugin blocking Ajax actions from WPML during the save process. Solution: We recommend disabling the Query Monitor plugin, especially when updating content or translations, as it is primarily a debugging tool and can impact performance on live sites. Disabling it should resolve the issue with saving content in the correct language. For more details on this conflict, you can visit the discussion on WordPress.org.
