Problem: You are trying to translate posts on a Swedish site to English and Finnish using WPML, with custom posts using Elementor layout and ACF fields. While English duplicates display correctly, the Finnish translations do not appear. Solution: If you're experiencing this issue, we recommend you follow these steps: 1. Ensure you have a full backup of your website. 2. Navigate to ACF > Field Groups > Valet 2025 and set the translation option to "Same fields across languages". 3. Go to WPML > Translation Management, filter by Posts, select all posts, and choose to Duplicate to both secondary languages. 4. Execute the duplication process. 5. Make a minor modification to the page (e.g., add a blank space into a text) at https://su.fi/valet-2025/ and update the translations.
This approach should resolve the issue with the Finnish translations not appearing. If this solution does not apply to your case, or if it seems outdated, we highly recommend checking related known issues at https://wpml.org/known-issues/, verifying the version of the permanent fix, and confirming that you have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 problems persist, please open a new support ticket.
The advanced translator only shows the title of the page with an error in the debug log.
