Background of the issue:
I am trying to have the same slug for a page in different languages. For example, I want the page to be accessible at both hidden link and hidden link.
Symptoms:
When I try to access the translated page with the same slug, I get a 404 error instead of the expected translated page.
Questions:
Why does using the same slug for translations result in a 404 error?
How can I configure WPML to allow the same slug for different language versions of a page?
We suspect a collision with the theme or another plugin might cause this problem. If possible, get your site into a minimum environment, switching to a default WordPress theme and activating only WPML.
First, check whether the problem persists when only the theme is switched to the Hello Elementor parent theme. If it persists, deactivate all plugins except WPML and Strings Translation. Then, please check if the problem persists. If it does not continue, start by activating the plugins individually and checking when the issue comes back, then report to me which plugin was the culprit.
**** Important! Please make a full site backup (files and DB) before you proceed with those steps****
*** If your site is live, you might want to try those procedures in a staging environment or a snapshot of your site on your local server or another server. ***
