Problem: You are trying to locate the hreflang tags in your sitemap using WPML, WPML SEO, and Rank Math SEO, but cannot find them despite having checked the 'as early as possible' option in WPML -> SEO options -> Display alternative languages in the HEAD section. Solution: Hreflang tags will not appear in your sitemap but should be visible at the top of your page source due to your current settings. You can verify their presence by viewing the source of your page. For example, you might see entries like:

Problem: The client is using ACF Pro with a Gallery field set to 'Hide from library', which works correctly in the primary language by hiding images from the WP Media Library. However, in the secondary language (Swedish), the images are still visible in the media library. Solution: We first clarified that the 'Hide from library' feature might be misunderstood as it is intended to limit file selection to those uploaded to the post, not hide them from the Media Library entirely. We also identified that the 'Frontend Admin' plugin, which is not compatible with WPML, might be causing the issue. We recommended contacting the plugin author to request compatibility with WPML through our Go Global program (https://wpml.org/documentation/support/go-global-program/).

Problem: You are using the User Ranks widget from GamiPress on your site with Elementor Pro and have translated the strings in WPML's String Translation. However, the widget does not translate on the frontend in the secondary language. Solution: Elementor Widgets cannot be translated directly using WPML > String Translation. Instead, you need to use the WPML Translation Editor, which by default supports all widgets that come with Elementor and Elementor Pro. Custom Elementor Widgets require an XML configuration to be translatable with the WPML Translation Editor. This configuration should ideally be provided by the plugin author in a
wpml-config.xml
file in the plugin's root directory. You can find a guide on how to register page builder widgets for translation here. If the plugin author does not provide this configuration, you can create one yourself and store it under WPML > Settings > Custom XML Configuration. Additionally, we offer a program to assist theme and plugin authors in making their widgets compatible, which you can mention to the author: here. Alternatively, you can use the WordPress Editor as the translation method. Instructions for translating with the WordPress editor can be found here.
