Problem: The client was experiencing an issue where the WPML language switcher worked on all pages except the homepage.
Solution: We first ensured that the homepage was fully translated and published, not in 'draft' or 'under review' status. It was important to check the WordPress backend under 'Pages' to see if the translation icons indicated a fully published state (a pencil icon), rather than an eye, gear, or sync circled arrow icon, which represent different states of the translation process. After confirming and resolving these aspects, the language switcher functioned correctly on the homepage.
If this solution does not resolve your issue, or if it seems outdated or irrelevant to your specific case, we recommend opening a new support ticket. Additionally, please check related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verify the version of the permanent fix, and confirm that you have installed the latest versions of themes and plugins.
