Problem: The client is unable to see the 'Translate independently' option for posts in WPML and is experiencing issues setting posts to 'nofollow' using Yoast SEO, which leads to errors. Solution: 1. Ensure that the post is duplicated before trying to set it to 'translate independently'. This option appears only when editing the post in the secondary language. 2. To address the 'nofollow' setting, create a post in the original language and set it to 'no follow'. If this works without errors, the issue might be with the duplicated posts in other languages. 3. If encountering errors with duplicated posts, check if the template used by the original post still exists in the theme directory. If not, reassign a valid template and try duplicating again. 4. If problems persist, consider recreating the problematic post with the same content and settings to see if this resolves the issue.

Problem: If you're experiencing errors when trying to set a post as nofollow with Yoast, and encountering fatal errors after saving the post, it might be related to your WPML settings and configurations. Solution: The issue occurred only with specific custom post types, such as "Downloads" from "Download Manager Pro". Setting these custom post types in WPML to "Translate independently" instead of duplicating them resolved the issue. We also recommend updating all your plugins to verify if the issue persists. If it does, we can try to recreate the issue on a test site.

Problem: If you're trying to cache your website using a plugin while using domain names for translations instead of subdomains or directories, and you're not seeing cached versions for different domain names like heskins.de, heskins.es, etc. Solution: We recommend trying the following caching solutions that are compatible with WPML:

Problem: The client is experiencing slow SQL queries during searches on their website, specifically when using the WPML plugin. The issue persists even when WPML is disabled, suggesting that the problem might not be directly related to WPML. Solution: We recommend addressing this issue with the theme developers, in this case, Avada. It appears that the SQL query itself is fundamentally expensive and inefficient. The client should demonstrate that the query performs well without WPML before considering it as a WPML-related issue. If after consulting with Avada the problem seems to be related to WPML, we encourage the client to contact us again.

Problem: The client was experiencing a fatal error when trying to update a download on their site, specifically with the WPML Multilingual CMS plugin. The error message indicated an 'Uncaught Exception: قالب صفحة غير صالح' in the WPML post duplication class. Solution: 1. We recommended enabling WP_DEBUG in the wp-config.php file to gather more detailed error information. This involves setting
define('WP_DEBUG', true);
and
define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true);
to log errors to a debug.log file within the /wp-content/ directory. For more details on debugging WPML, visit https://wpml.org/documentation/support/debugging-wpml/. 2. We suggested deactivating, deleting, and reinstalling a freshly downloaded version of the WPML plugin, reassuring the client that all settings and translations are preserved in the database, hence no data would be lost. 3. We offered to set up a staging site for further investigation if the client was uncomfortable performing these steps on their live site.
