Problem: The client is editing a page in two languages simultaneously using Elementor and wants to insert a link to a page that has versions in both languages. However, the link to the 'About us' page only appears in the language that was last selected in the WordPress Dashboard. Solution: We recommend translating URLs using our translation editor. Here is a step-by-step guide: 1. Choose the language you want to edit in the WordPress Dashboard before opening the Elementor editor. 2. Follow the workflow provided in our documentation to translate URLs using the Advanced Translation Editor: https://wpml.org/faq/how-to-translate-urls-shortcodes-and-html-attributes-using-the-advanced-translation-editor/

Solution: 1. Check if switching the language from the top admin bar makes the posts appear. 2. If the issue persists, follow the instructions on the WPML errata page: Missing _icl_strings _icl_string_translations data tables. 3. After restoring the content, to remove the option
1
wpml_string_table_ok_for_mo_import
from the options table, access your database directly through your hosting provider.
Problem: The client is receiving a message indicating a problem with the String Translation table that could become critical in the future. Solution: First, we recommend making a full backup of your site. Next, follow the workaround provided in the WPML errata page. Then, remove the option
1
"wpml_string_table_ok_for_mo_import"

icl_strings
icl_string_translations
icl_string_packages
icl_string_pages
icl_string_positions
icl_string_status
