Problem: You are trying to translate media captions and the widget FAQ on your homepage but the translations are not appearing. Solution: First, ensure you perform a full backup of your site. Next, update your Elementor plugins and all WPML plugins to the latest versions. You can do this in your WordPress admin under WP > Plugins > Add New > Commercial Tab. After updating, clear the Elementor cache by navigating to the Elementor tools page in your WordPress admin. Once these steps are completed, recheck if the translations appear.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with translating image captions and fixing link errors using WPML. Specifically, translated image captions do not appear on the frontend, and multiple links incorrectly lead to Greek pages instead of English ones. The issues seem related to custom widgets from UDesign and Elementor not being translatable with the WPML Translation Editor. Solution: 1. Ensure that all components (WordPress, Theme, Plugins) are updated. This can resolve some issues related to compatibility and functionality. 2. For the custom widgets that are not translatable, a complete XML configuration is necessary. 3. We recommend setting up a WPML test site to safely test solutions without affecting the live site. This allows us to recreate the issues and potentially escalate them to our compatibility team if we confirm they are general issues.
If these steps do not resolve your issues, or if the solution seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, please visit our known issues page and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins. If the problem persists, we highly recommend opening a new support ticket here.
Problem: The client is facing issues with translating button links on their website, which continue to display in Greek despite changes made in the translation management. Additionally, there are problems with pages appearing broken and missing elements when compared to their Greek versions, particularly with custom Elementor blocks. Solution: We identified that the issue stems from using the udesign theme, which currently has known compatibility issues with WPML. To address the translation of custom Elementor blocks and widgets that are not being recognized by WPML, we recommend following the workaround provided in our errata page.
