Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where attempting to translate a new post would redirect them to the Translation Queue page instead of going straight to the Advanced Translation Editor. This problem was inconsistent, sometimes resolved by deactivating and reactivating plugins, but would reoccur. The client suspected database issues based on past experiences.
Solution: 1. We recommended updating WPML and all other plugins to the latest versions, ensuring a full backup of the website before making any updates. 2. We suggested testing the issue in a minimal setup by using a default WP theme, keeping only WPML plugins active, and disabling all other plugins to check for conflicts. 3. We advised clearing the browser's cache and provided steps for WPML database cleanup/optimization: - Go to WPML -> Support -> Troubleshoot link - Go to "Clean up" section and click the following buttons: -- Clean the cache in WPML -- Remove ghost entries from the translation tables -- Fix element_type collation -- Fix WPML tables collation 4. We identified a potential conflict with the "Speed Optimizer" plugin and suggested using only one caching plugin to avoid conflicts, recommending checking the list of WPML compatible cache plugins at https://wpml.org/plugin-functionality/caching/.
If the solution provided here is not relevant to your case, either because it's outdated or not applicable, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and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 with us for further assistance.
Problem: The client's website supports eight languages, with English as the main language. All languages were translated using WPML, but only the Chinese language links were showing a 'no result' error message. The client tried removing and re-adding the Chinese language, making small changes, and using the 'Translate Link Targets' option in WPML settings, but the issue persisted. The client also noted that the same process worked fine for another post the previous day.
Solution: 1. We identified that the issue was due to the Chinese version of the product being set to redirect to another product that was unavailable. This redirection was configured by the Yoast SEO plugin. 2. We advised the client to go to Yoast SEO > Redirects and delete the redirect if it was found there. Alternatively, the client could reach out to the Yoast Support team for assistance in removing the redirect. 3. After the client's update, we confirmed that the page was loading correctly. We recommended clearing the caches from the site and browser, and also from the server level if applicable, to ensure the changes take effect.

Problem: The client is trying to add different Ninja Tables to posts in different languages using WPML. The first issue is that after adding a Ninja Table to the English post, the traditional Chinese (TCH) translation was lost. The second issue is that after adding a Ninja Table to the TCH post, the content displayed in a mix of English and TCH. Solution: We recommend not mixing translation methods (WPML editor and manual editing) as it can lead to issues like content loss. To resolve this, you should: 1. Choose one method of translation for the page (either WPML editor or manual translation). 2. If you decide to manually edit the second language page, you can disable the WPML editor for that page following this documentation: Using different translation editors for different pages. 3. Continue using the chosen method consistently to avoid further issues. 4. For code modules, manual translation is suggested to prevent code from being improperly translated, which could break the website. More information can be found here: What if I've already mixed translation methods and lost translations?.
