Hi again,

Something else i want to add. WPML creates duplicates of the pages or posts that I translate, allowing me to modify each page in its respective independently without affecting the default. I have the capability to modify the content of the page(ex, homepage); however, I am unable to make changes or adjustments to the header. WPML did not duplicate my header. Each time I select "Edit header," I am redirected back to the Arabic version (Default language of the website). The header should also be duplicated, allowing for adjustments without affecting the others languages. but its not happening.

I am currently using the GraceChurch Theme from ThemeRex.

FYI, I have accessed WPML > Settings > > the "Post Types Translation" making sure "header" is there and its Translatable; however, I was unable to locate it.

Thanks

Hi,

If "Header" is a custom post type in your theme, you can go to WPML → Translation Management and use the dropdown filter to select "Header" to begin the translation process.

For a more detailed explanation, please see: Translating Pages, Posts, and Custom Post Types.

Best regards,
Marcel

Hello,

I still need help. WPML did not duplicate my header. I am unable to make changes or adjustments to the header of the added language with WPML. Each time I select "Edit header," on home page I am redirected back to the default language of the website.

I would appreciate your assistance with this matter, as I am feeling quite frustrated.

Thanks

You haven’t provided enough details for us to assist you accurately. You mentioned that WPML didn’t duplicate the header. Did you press the "Duplicate" button in Translation Management, and nothing happened? Or can you clarify exactly what issue you’re facing with the duplication process?

If you now edited the "Edit Header" directly, it seems you may not have followed the documentation I shared earlier. Did you go to WPML -> Translation Management, select the header, and click "Duplicate" to initiate the translation process as outlined in the guide?

Best regards,
Marcel
