Problem: You are using the Pen news theme and have translated footer text using 'string translation' for the keys
[theme_mods_pennews-child]penci_footer_copyright
and
[theme_mods_pennews-child]penci_footer_text
, but the translations are not appearing on the frontend. Solution: This issue is due to a theme compatibility problem. As a workaround, we added the following code to your child theme’s functions.php file to ensure the string is correctly translated:
We have also informed our team about this issue to communicate with the theme author for a permanent solution.

Problem: The client is experiencing warnings from the WPML REST API endpoint despite it returning valid data. The issue is suspected to be due to a low WP Memory Limit. Solution: 1. Increase the WordPress memory limit by editing the
wp-config.php
file. Add the following line above the 'That's all, stop editing! Happy publishing.' line:
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '256M');
If the memory limit is already defined, update it to at least 256M, preferably 512M for optimal performance with WPML and other plugins. 2. If the issue persists, check the
php.ini
file for the
memory_limit
setting, or contact the hosting provider to ensure it's set to at least 256M. 3. After making these changes, clear all caches and re-test the REST API endpoint. 4. If the problem continues, deactivate any security plugins like WordFence and consult with the hosting provider about any firewall or security settings that might be affecting the REST API.

Problem: The client is experiencing issues with author pages redirecting to the homepage instead of displaying the correct author page in various languages. This occurs when there are no posts available in the requested language.
Solution: This is the theme-specific issue that was not replicable on a new test site. We recommend using a custom code snippet to modify the behavior of the WPML language switcher on author pages. This code ensures that the language switcher links directly to the author pages, even if there are no posts in that language, thus preventing redirection to the homepage.
add_filter( 'icl_ls_languages', 'wpml_author_switcher_fix', 10, 1 );
function wpml_author_switcher_fix( $languages ) {
if ( is_author() ) {
$author = get_queried_object();
$author_slug = $author->user_nicename;
$default_lang = apply_filters( 'wpml_default_language', null );
foreach ( $languages as $lang_code => &$lang ) {
if ( $lang_code === $default_lang ) {
// No language prefix for default language
$lang['url'] = '/author/' . $author_slug . '/';
} else {
$lang['url'] = '/' . $lang_code . '/author/' . $author_slug . '/';
}
}
}
return $languages;
}

Problem: The client is unable to find specific templates in the WPML String Translation or Admin Texts Translation areas. These templates are created using a custom shortcode, [Ruby_E_Template id="3476"], and are not appearing due to their unique IDs which differ per language.
Solution: To resolve this issue, we recommend the following steps: 1. Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file:
3. Edit the default language page where the shortcode is used. Make a small change (like updating the title), then save. 4. Open the translation in WPML’s Translation Editor. You should now see the template ID string (e.g., 3476). Replace it with the translated template ID. 5. Complete the translation and check if it shows correctly on the front end.
