<b>Background of the issue: </b>
I created 'Products Archive' pages for every category on my site using Elementor Loop Grid. The translation was working for all categories until this weekend. No updates were done during the weekend. For the category 'GR: Καλοκαιρινές Προσφορές, EN: Summer Sale, DE: Sommerangebot', I am getting results for GR and EN but for DE the loop grid is empty. I updated everything today except WordPress (installed version: 6.5.5) to the latest version (newest version: 6.6), but the error is still here. The page is this one: hidden link. I have disabled all my cache plugins and cleared the cache as well.

<b>Symptoms: </b>
For the category 'Sommerangebot', the Elementor Loop Grid is empty for the DE translation.

<b>Questions: </b>
Why is the Elementor Loop Grid not displaying results for the DE translation of the 'Sommerangebot' category?
Are there any specific WPML settings that need to be checked for this issue?

Hi,

Thanks for contacting WPML forums support. I'll be glad to help you today.

I would need to look closely at your site, so I would need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP)
Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated.

Your answer will be private, meaning only you and I can access it.

❌ Please backup your database and website ❌

✙ I need your permission to deactivate and reactivate the plugins and themes and change site configurations. This is also why the backup is critical.

✙ I also need your permission to take a local copy of your site to debug the issue without affecting your live site.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

Thanks for the access details. I edited the German template and selected the translated category. (Kindly check the attached screenshot)

Please check the hidden link">page and let me know if it works correctly.

Best regards,
Osama

Hi,

yes it is fixed.

I knew how to do it alone, but the ting is, why is it working in EN and not in DE without the manual change?

Shouldn't it work out of the box in EN and in DE the same way?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it should, but you might face this issue if the translation is corrupted or needs an update.

The manual change workaround forces the translated Elementor template to retrieve the translated category.

Osama

Hi,

"Yes, it should, but you might face this issue if the translation is corrupted or needs an update."

No update was needed according to your interface (pencil icon).

How can i check if the translation is corrupted?

Thanks

Hi,

I deleted the translated template and re-translated it, but it's not working without the manual fix.

Please let me know when the staging site is available so I can run some tests.

Also, please let me know if this issue happens with all German categories or just this one.

Best regards,
Osama
