[Resolved] missing fields for translation (the7 Dream theme) - Button, info box, icon with text...
This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: The client is trying to translate a page using WPML, but some elements like Button, Icon with text, and quotes are missing in the editor and are not available in the string translation. Solution: We recommended adding the following XML configuration to WPML -> Settings -> Custom XML Configuration to make these elements translatable:
This XML allows the specified elements to be searchable and translatable through the Advanced Translation Editor. We also requested the client to install The7 Elements plugin on a sandbox site for further investigation by our compatibility team.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your case, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix,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 problem persists, please open a new support ticket at WPML support forum.
This is the technical support forum for WPML - the multilingual WordPress plugin.

Background of the issue:
I am trying to translate a page on my website using WPML, but some elements do not show up in the editor. The website is hidden link, and I need the translation to be simple for my client to handle later.
Symptoms:
Missing fields for translation in the editor, specifically elements like Button, Icon with text, and quotes. These elements are not found in the string translation either.
Questions:
How can I make all text and URLs available for translation in the editor?
Why are some elements like Button and Icon with text not showing up for translation?
As a first step, please increase the WP Memory Limit for your WordPress installation. The debug info you attached shows that your server WP Memory Limit is 40M. Our recommendations are to have the following as minimal requirements:
- PHP 7 and above (this OK with your installation) with a WP Memory Limit of at least 128MB while 256MB is recommended.
MySQL 5.6 and above.
Please follow this link for detailed documentation:
Is it possible for you to change those to the minimum requirement?
You may need to contact your hosting provider for that. Meeting those baseline requirements is critical before debugging and sometimes solves issues you experience. The most important thing is to raise the WP Memory Limit. Please try to raise it before you contact your hosting company. You can do it from the wp-config.php file in your WordPress installation. Insert this code in that file:
Could you please perform that procedure and see if it helps?
If it does not help, the issue might be unsupported elements from the The7 Elements plugin.
Are you designing your site's pages using this plugin?
If so and you need further help with this, please share the access details to your site with me.

You didn't provide me with a link to a page or a post where I can see this issue. However, I can see it in this post.

This seems to be a problem with the "Icon with text" element. Please see the attached screenshot.
Although the translation seemed completed (the pencil icon showed), when I edited it, I could see only 91% completed. When I used the search box to search for text with the missing translation, I could find it. Please see the attached screenshot.
Please edit the translation, search for the missing text, and complete it again to be 100% completed. Then, check if the translations show.
On my hidden link">test page, it allowed me to search for the text and translate it through the Advanced Translation Editor, as we already saw possible in the first page. However, on the second page you shared, it is still impossible to translate the Icon with Text. This is weird, and I'm consulting our second-tier supporter about it.
Meanwhile, we want your help installing The7 Elements plugin on a sandbox site so we can investigate this issue further and escalate it to our compatibility team.
Our second-tier supporter fixed this issue on your site. He noticed that it was a caching issue. After deleting the translation and translating it again, the missing texts appeared for translation. Please see the attached screenshot.

I also tested it on the test page I created.

Can you please confirm that this problem is fixed now?
