Problem: The client is experiencing an issue where the 'PROBELEKTION BUCHEN' button on their WordPress site, built with Astra and WPML, keeps resetting its language from German to English. This requires frequent manual corrections in WPML → String Translation. Solution: 1. We recommended enabling the 'Store a language cookie to support language filtering for AJAX' option in WPML -> Languages to help maintain the correct language settings. 2. To identify any underlying issues, we advised enabling WordPress debug logging by modifying the wp-config.php file:
This setup will log errors to a debug.log file in the /wp-content/ directory, which can help trace the source of the problem. 3. If errors continue, we suggested re-registering the site with WPML to ensure proper functionality. This involves deleting the current site registration, unregistering the site, and then registering it again to receive a new site key.
If these steps do not resolve the issue or if the solution seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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. Should the problem persist, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum for further assistance.
Problem: You have created a custom post type (CPT) with the slug 'event' using the ACF Pro plugin and defined a custom archive slug 'events'. You have translated the base default slug 'event' to 'événement' in French via WPML > Settings > Post Types Translation, but you are unable to find where to translate the archive slug. Solution: Currently, WPML does not support the translation of custom slugs set in the
has_archive
option for custom post types. You can read more about this limitation here. We recommend enabling the archive option and leaving the slug field empty for custom post types created with ACF. This approach uses the default slug, and when you switch languages, the translated slug set in "WPML > Settings > Post Type Translation" will display.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with a site built using Kadence and Beaver Builder, where the translation lost text formatting, resulting in a block of text instead of paragraphs. Additionally, the mobile CTA button from Kadence Conversions is displayed on all screen sizes, not just on mobile, and editing the French Conversion version causes a 500 Internal Server error. Solution: For the issue of lost text formatting, we recommend disabling the option "I prefer bigger segments" in the Advanced Translation Editor as it might be causing the line breaks to be ignored. You can find more details and workarounds on this issue at https://wpml.org/errata/line-breaks-are-ignored-when-using-the-advanced-translation-edior/. Regarding the mobile CTA button displaying on all screen sizes, please ensure that Kadence Conversions is compatible with WPML and check any specific settings within Kadence Conversions that might be affecting visibility across different devices.
