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

Problem:
You are experiencing an issue with editing exhibition dates on the Arabic version of your website. While you can edit these dates in the English version by navigating through Exhibitions, selecting an exhibition, and updating the date section, this option is not visible or accessible in the Arabic version.
Solution:
We recommend checking the source of the exhibition dates. These dates might be added via a plugin, theme options, or custom fields. It's important to verify if these dates are set to be copied from the original language when the exhibition is translated. If the dates are not editable or missing entirely in the Arabic version, please provide a screenshot from the Arabic version of the site showing where the issue occurs.

This solution might be outdated or not applicable to your specific case. We highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the issue persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.

I am experiencing an issue with editing exhibition dates on the Arabic version of our website.
In the English version, I can easily edit the exhibition dates by navigating to: Exhibitions → selecting an exhibition → clicking “Edit” → scrolling down to the date section and updating it.
However, this option does not appear in the Arabic version of the same exhibition. There is no visible field or section where I can edit the dates.
Both versions should ideally allow editing the same fields, but currently the Arabic translation does not reflect or allow access to these settings.
Could you please assist in enabling the date editing functionality for the Arabic version, or advise how this can be properly managed through WPML?
I have attached screenshots showing the editable date fields in the English version for your reference.
Thank you in advance for your support.

Thank you for contacting WPML support.

Could you please clarify where the exhibition dates are coming from? Are they added via a plugin, theme options, or custom fields?

Do these dates appear (or not) in the Arabic version of the same exhibition? Are they not editable or missing entirely?

I suspect that these dates should be copied from the original language when the exhibition is translated.

Please upload a screenshot from the Arabic version of the site.
