Background of the issue:
I am using the Yelly theme on a site under development. In my theme settings, there are fields where I enter text, but WPML does not recognize it, even after following the instructions for scanning the frontend pages. I also cannot figure out how to change the images in the theme settings, such as the logo.

Symptoms:
WPML does not see the text entered in the theme settings fields, and I cannot change images like the logo in the theme settings.

Questions:
How can I make WPML recognize the text entered in the theme settings fields?
How do I change images, such as the logo, in the theme settings?

Hello,

These settings can only be translated with WPML > String Translation.

Please follow this guide and try to localize and translate the strings:
https://wpml.org/documentation/getting-started-guide/string-translation/finding-strings-that-dont-appear-on-the-string-translation-page/#:~:text=Scroll%20to%20Utilities%2C%20expand%20the%20Not%20seeing%20strings,now%20be%20available%20for%20translation%20in%20String%20Translation.

The same counts for the logo. If you want to use a different logo in a second language, you might need to upload a different logo with WPML > Media Translation and then try to locate the logo attachment ID or logo source URL using the above-mentioned method. Then translate the ID or URL accordingly with WPML String Translation.

If this will not solve the issue, please let us know.

Best regards
Andreas
