Problem: The client was unable to update the footer translation using the WPML plugin. After translating and saving the footer, it disappeared from the translation management, and the client could not update it. Additionally, the link in the translated footer still pointed to the document in the original language. Solution: 1. We confirmed that the English footer displayed correctly but noted that the Contact Form 7 part was still untranslated. We recommended following the steps in this guide: Using Contact Form 7 with WPML. 2. We noticed that the 'Not Completed' filter was active in WPML >> Translation Management, which hid completed translations. We advised clicking the 'Clear Filters' button to view all items. 3. To address the issue with the incorrect document link: - We navigated to WPML >> Translation Management. - Hovered over the Global Footer template and clicked on the 'Edit' link. - Opened the translated template and updated the Terms and Conditions link. - Pressed the 'Update' button to apply changes.

Problem: If you're experiencing issues where HTML code is displayed instead of normal text in your translated posts on your WordPress site using WPML, such as seeing
<ul> <li>Chambres à coucher</li> <li>Salles de bains</li> <li>Salle de séjour</li> <li>Salle à manger</li> <li>Cuisine</li> <li>Terrasse</li> <li>Parking</li> <li>Piscine</li> </ul>
instead of formatted text, follow these steps to resolve it. Solution: 1. Navigate to WPML > Settings > Posts and pages synchronization and uncheck "Send to translation the content of raw HTML cells". Then, resend the page for translation. 2. Access the body template of your site. Switch to the French version and edit the template. Locate the accordion widget and enable the "RAW HTML" setting.
